The "settingsPageVisibility" string just isn't there, so I can't check if it's a visibility thing. The local group policy doesn't work either-- gpedit.msc doesn't return any results.The images I'm trying to upload are refusing to load, so I'll just link to t

My wifi is extremely slow when downloading on my ASUS laptop
I've had this problem ever since i got my laptop and I'm not sure why. On all my other devices I'm getting 60-70mbps. But on my ASUS I'm only getting 14mbps on a speed checker and at most 200kbps when actually downloading. I've tried resetting laptop, Wi-Fi, clearing cache and cookies etc and its not budging at all.

Outlook New is unusable because: Defender
Switched to Defender after years of using another security tool.Seems to be working fine, but now I want to switch to using New Outlook.And I get:So, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen blocks outlook.office.com.I understand that this is the 'reputation-based protection' kicking in.Why does Microsoft think that their own reputation is so bad that they need to protect me from themselves?Fortunately Outlook Classic still works.Is this just me or do other people also have this issue? Should I simply disable smartscreen altogether?

Hardware upgrade
I have a w10 pc, upgraded from w7 ultimate. Unfortunately I can't upgrade to w11 with my current hardware (too old, I built my PC to last) so I had to invest in new hardware. Can I use the same key for a new clean install of w11 on my new hardware? I bought the w7 ultimate because of the promise that the key was for life. Was this the truth or a lie? Thanks in advance!
