    Package-Manager pop-up

    It only goes to Package-Manager.net when you type in the URL. If you click on the pop-up, it takes you to various websites. The click bait is a message about Meagan leaving England or the Sad news about__________ fill-in the blank. I may actually check one more place, Facebook because the...

    Package-Manager pop-up

    Yes, saw that too, and it was a bit unnerving. I ran CC Cleaner and Malwarebytes. Found some PUPs but none of them stopped the popups. My normal antivirus is Avast Free. When the software was first downloaded, I discovered it because it placed a new banner beneath the Google Chrome header on...

    Package-Manager pop-up

    I recently got a really annoying pop-up on my Win10 laptop running the most recent update. It is called Package-Manager.net. My wife says she downloaded it to track her purchases made on Amazon. I have looked high and low on the 'Net and have been unable to even find a single reference to...

    Chrome won't launch in most recent version of Windows 10

    My computer will not launch Chrome on my laptop running the most recent version of Windows 10. I noticed that after my recent updates that Chrome had a slight different appearance. Edge and Firefox both open freely. I would abandon Chrome, but it has all my Bookmarks and also my Lastpass. I...

    Windows 10 fails to update

    Just did an extensive search for rotating circles after update, and found a site that said to remove any usb device and the update will resume where it left off. So I unplugged my usb dongle for the mouse, and yep, it did resume at 75% working on updates. So I will give it the full 90 minutes...

    Windows 10 fails to update

    Beilstwh, I went to how-to-fix-windows and followed the directions. My computer showed that a problem had been fixed. Then I went directly to the Windows 10 site and downloaded the new version directly from them. All the download went smoothly, the computer restarted on its own. It said it...

    Windows 10 fails to update

    I have an Acer Aspire 5742 i3 with 2.40 GHz and 4.00 GB 64bit laptop that refuses to update. When I select Shutdown and Update it just grinds for maybe 10 hours or so with the spinning circle. I have to force a shut down at least twice, then the computer says it will try to recover the old...

    Viewing or creating a PDF using InDesign and Edge

    Both, on the Acer i3. On the Asus i7, I rarely check my email, so I am not sure how it behaves when opening a pdf. Daniel

    Viewing or creating a PDF using InDesign and Edge

    I have two laptops that both are running Win 10 and have wondered why I get an Edge browser for one computer when I open a pdf file, but I get a traditional format on the other. The computer that gives me and Edge pdf is an Acer i3 laptop and the one that creates a traditional pdf is an Asus i7...

    No restore points in Windows 10

    I found that the restore point feature in Windows 10 is defaulted to off. So when I found that I could not access my laptop after Cortana created a new admin account, I was forced to use a password to access my computer. There was no going back to an earlier time when the computer had no...

    Livid over Cortana

    How can I tell if that account is administrator? It requires a password, and I have never had a password for my computer. Daniel

    Livid over Cortana

    I have two accounts. A local account and administrator account associated with test@windows.com. That is the email account I created for Cortana. It did not allow me to use my normal gmail.com. I have to supply a password for my local acount which I never used. In fact I abhor passwords to get...

    Livid over Cortana

    I was able to get onto my computer by using a PIN, and went through all the step to un-check the box that requires a login at start up. However, at start up it still requires me to enter a PIN. AND, the xxxxxwindows.com account still shows up. I went to the accounts manager, and I can see the...

    Livid over Cortana

    I got an email saying I could download Cortana to my laptop, so I tried. It made me enter a new email, so stupidly I tired to create an email account ending in windows.com. I went through all the screens but got stopped at the password and code. It just wouldn't let me complete it. So I gave...

    I made the migration to Win 10 and am pleased to find that CS3 works wonderfully! Daniel

    Nag, Nag, Nag!

    I use Chrome on my Win 10 laptops. When opening a link in an email, it always opens in Edge as Edge is the default in Win 10. From what I have read, one cannot remove Edge from the computer. As far as "Nag" I have just gotten used to seeing Edge pop up. It's ugly, but it works Daniel

    Windows 10 Fall Update

    If one has already updated computers to Win 10, won't they also get any new update that comes along? Daniel
