Sharing has been widely broken in WIndows 10 since they removed automated HomeGroup, which many think is to push us to use OneDrive, which I'll discuss a bit later. 1) Check over these steps for how to set up simple file sharing in WIndows 10: https://pureinfotech.com/setup-network-file-sharing-windows-10/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/help/4092694/windows-10-file-sharing-over-a-network 2) If that doesn't work then try these fixes for file Sharing: https://www.lifewire.com/troubleshooting-windows-file-sharing-818241 https://appuals.com/how-to-fix-the-windows-10-file-sharing-not-

I am no longer receiving the authenticator app notifications, and every sign in method I try loops back to requiring the authenticator app. Even resetting the account. I have access to all devices listed and can log in to the account page but even trying to check what phone number is listed (it has not changed in years) requires me to authenticate with the app. Adding a different log in method requires the authenticator app. Everything loops back to the app which is no longer receiving notifications.

Hello, I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 11. I went through the setup process identifying myself as the administrator and assigning my device login pin. After setup was complete, I realized that it didn't ask if I would have other users needing access to this device to sign-in using their own pin. On my previous laptop, I setup my wife as another user having her own unique sign pin.How can I add her as another user on my new with her own device login pin?Looking forward to your response.Thanks for the help.

(Used English in hope for a faster response, sorry.)I can't change my username properly in Windows 11. When I enter control panel and change username from there, it works and doesn't work simultaneously. When I enter C:/Users/, there's still my very first username in Cyrillic, which causes issues in a game. (Audio doesn't load because of the Cyrillic username... That's why I want to switch to English) Ok, so username is in Russian, but when I enter the folder, in a search panel, my CHANGED/NEW (Eng) username appears. That's why I said it's both in Russian and English, seems to be corrupted??

Recently, I replaced my old Samsung Galaxy A13 phone with a Google Pixel 8a and linked it with my PC using the QR code in Phone Link. Even though the Link to Windows app on my new phone says that it is linked to my PC, it doesn't show up in Phone Link. Also, my old phone is still shown in Phone Link, even though I unlinked my old phone from the PC. How can I remove my old phone from Phone Link and add my new phone?

Microsoft Defender is either not opening or it is not loading. When I click on it in my taskbar, I see Restore and exit instead of the usual options I am used to. The app does not seem to work right.

I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum but here goes.....This screen element, i.e. the Excel clipboard, seems to change size of its own accord. It is now over 4" wide taking up a lot of my 17" wide screen. It had been about 2" wide. I have a Surface 3 laptop and a Dell OptiPlex desktop running Window 11 pro and share an HP M27fwa monitor. Over the last couple months, I have had to deal with this NEW clipboard size which seems to come and go. One day it's back to 2" and yesterday I turn on the PC and it's at 4" wide. It is aggravating to say the least since it means I have to scroll the

My taskbar used to show all of the apps that I had open. After an update it's mostly empty. I have to go through a Taskbar Overflow Menu to get to them. I do not like this, how to I restore the previous behavior where all the open apps were only one click away - not two?

Hey,I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a month now, ever since I updated my BIOS. I keep getting BSODs with different error codes each time. I've run CPU, GPU, and RAM tests, and after getting process failures on Prime95, I decided to buy a new pair of RAMs.I was hoping that would solve the issue, but nothing changed. Even after downgrading my BIOS to the previous version, I’m still getting the same BSODs whenever I try to launch a game or put any kind of load on my PC.I appreciate anyone who can help me resolve this issue in advance. Thanks!Minidump Files

If I deactivate one drive on my windows 11 desktop, will the file structure change? Specifically, will this affect picture files from a separate internal hard drive that I use in Lightroom? I do not need one drive, but I don’t want to lose files stored in my computer. Thanks.

Hello, people!I have two Lenovo L240-10i monitors, the first and the main one was bought in 2019 and the second one in 2023.My problem started in February, the second monitor randomly started turning off without a reason, it looks like a fade out effect when it turns off. I bought an adapter for the monitor which has double the voltage than the original, so i bought an original adapter, but it had the same problem, so I kept the stronger one and it gave results for a day or two. After that, my problem started again. I was looking for a solution online and I switched from 60 to 50 Hz and the pr
