What is the purpose of Community Awards, really?
Other than bragging rights, I really don't see the practical usefulness of accumulating all of these Community Award badges. Is there some significance to them? What is Microsoft's end game w/r/to these badges? I read through their description, and it basically says nothing of merit.
URGENT ALERT RE HACKERS, VIRUSES, AND DANGEROUS THREATs
Today I received an urgent, very loud, alert from what appeared to be Microsoft, telling me the computer was in serious danger from hackers trying to gain access to my personal information. I was instructed not to turn my computer off or leave the page and was afraid to exit. I was also instructed to call the phone number provided immediately. I was not aware of any MS security threat scams and was quite worried. The technician I spoke to on the phone assured me he was a licensed MS technician and that since my computer had already been hacked, all my personal information was in jeopardy. This was a first for me and decided it would be best to trust his judgment. He accessed my computer and seemed to think 17 hackers were attempting to take over my computer and said my entire security system was locked, so I would not be able to proceed without removal of the threat and the addition of a network firewall and an IP protection. He took me to a web page for RIGHTPCEXPERTS.COM in Tampa, and gave the impression they are affiliated with Microsoft. Because I am age 69 he offered me a "discounted price" of 299.00 and I was left to believe it was imperative, as all my devices were in danger. I was then referred to a second agent who said he would be able to remedy the problems with my PC. HE REMOVED MY SYSTEM MECHANIC AND THEN installed an AD BLOCKER, CC CLEANER, ANTI-VIRUS HACKING. HE SEEMINGLY CLEANED MY COMPUTER AND THEN INSTALLED A NETWORK FIREWALL, AN IP NETWORK ACCESS PROTECTOR. After I PROVIDED my credit card number for the charge of 299.00 I was told there was an additional fee technical fee of $120, that would be paid in 12 installments of 9.99, for a total of 420.00. I was so reluctant but thought I had no other choice but to proceed. Like another gentleman who was concerned about the legitimacy of this company, I am left wondering if they are a scam. MY INVOICE READ AM PC SECURITY, NOT RIGHTPCEXPERTS OUT OF TAMPA AND NEXWAY HANDLED THE TRANSACTION.
administrator permissions
How do i change administrator permissions on my account?
All of my devices crashed simultaneously. Help please???
This seems like paranoia but it is true. Had 5 devices crash at the same time August 5, 2020. Went to different town and purchased new phone. Set phone up and it new who I was and had already had update with malware waiting. As well as being controlled by third party. The sophistication was unbelievable. The possible outcomes are nightmarish. Lost all contacts, passwords simultaneously. This is my last hope. Hacked Edge AND Hacked Google

Generic logins
I maintain 10 computers for our computer club. Our default setup is one administrator account, for maintenance and installations, and a generic member login with limited privileges. This is closer to a business environment than a home one. Yesterday I did a clean install of Win10 (20HS) on a laptop that been running Insider releases. Now, when I create an account I am asked to supply or create an MS email account, or phone number. Is there a way to create accounts to match what I have on all my other PCs or do I need to go back to an older release?
Which Microsoft Defender feature(s) really annoys you?
I'm looking forward to know your reactions regarding the annoying feature(s) of Microsoft Defender, if you have. The one I hate is Defender scanning the dead virus files which have been removed, but cached in Protection History. I had to deal with a stupid PUP for 3 months because Defender constantly gave me fake alerts regarding the dead thing. :(
VPN usefulness
I have a VPN that comes with my virus software and I have noticed that when I use it, it can be useful for giving me different search results based on the country location I have chosen. This was an unexpected benefit and has actually increased my productivity! Can you think of any other reasons, besides security purposes, that a VPN can be useful?
