Thanks for the reply, Anup. Neither solution worked. The App Troubleshooter didn't find anything. It did suggest I ask a friend. Clearing the History and other things didn't work. I haven't tried IE because I will never use it again. Isn't MS getting rid of it? I tried Chrome. Everything works fine with it.

Also, how does one find the topic you're currently trying to solve on this forum. There are so many things wrong with MS products, it's impossible to find the topic with just the ordinary filters. If it wasn't for my email notification, I'd never find this topic again!!

Even when you want to ask a question, you must drill down through the Participate header. Who was the genius who decided to hide such an important button. Why bury the Ask a Question button??? Then again, it is MS.

Notice how the Bold font feature works here? It doesn't work on all forums. It does for some. Is it a Windows 10 setting?

Hi,

Thanks for the update and response.

Try signing in using a new user account and check if the issue persists

I would suggest you to create a new user account and check the issue status in the new user account. This would help us to analyze the issue to find the cause and resolution. If the new account works fine for you, add your Microsoft credentials to it and use it as your Microsoft account.

Create a user account.
