Every modern version of Microsoft Windows allows you to create two types of local user accounts.
In my opinion every PC should have one account of each type installed even if only one person will be using the computer. [Read more…]
How (and why) to add new local user account in Windows 11
It’s no secret that Microsoft wants every Windows 11 user to sign into their PC with a Microsoft account.
In fact, they have even designed Windows 11 in a way that prevents a few of its most useful features from even working if you’re signed in with a local account.
But guess what? I don’t really like the idea of signing in to my computer with an Internet-based account, for two reasons: [Read more…]
Q&A: Can the Settings app on a Windows PC be disabled?
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.

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