Posted on January 24, 2024

If you’ve been using Microsoft Windows for a while you know it’s famous for occasionally “freezing up”.

And unfortunately, when that happens it can be difficult to get the system to respond to your mouse clicks and key presses.

Q&A: Can the Settings app on a Windows PC be disabled?

Posted on January 1, 2024

Question from Kandi:  I bought my 9 year old son a new laptop for his birthday. He loves it and uses it every day.

The problem is I have already had to take it to the Geek Squad twice to fix issues he caused by changing some system settings.

I know that’s what he’s doing because I saw him using the Settings app.

Is there a way to disable the Settings app on his computer to prevent that from happening again? I really need to preserve my sanity!  [Read more…]

Q&A: Can Windows 11’s roll-back period be extended past 10 days?

Posted on November 16, 2023

Question from Robbie:  A couple of days ago I updated my PC to Windows 11 expecting to have 30 days to change my mind like we had when Windows 10 came out.

But then I found out the window for rolling Windows 11 back to Windows 10 is only 10 days, not 30.

The problem I have is I’m going out of town on business tomorrow and I won’t be back until after the end of the month.

By the time I return the 10 day roll-back period will have expired and I’ll be stuck with Windows 11 even if I end up not liking it.

Is there any way to extend the Windows 11 roll-back period to longer than 10 days (to something like a month)? [Read more…]

Posted on November 7, 2023

Are you a long-time Windows user who is now using Windows 11?

If so, you might have noticed how Microsoft has hidden some of the most useful options from the right-click menu in Windows 11, forcing you to click Show more options in order to access them.

This is one of those changes that makes me wonder just what they were thinking when they decided to make them. [Read more…]
