I do... all my pc's. And as well, CSM disabled, BIOS setup passwords and bitlocker encrypted with TPM protected keys on all four of them. Even the "legacy" build from 2014.

Maybe someone can explain: what exactly is a web app or how it differs from any other app that uses the web for what it does, like email? I would agree being a windows store app for delivery and servicing can makes it troublesome.

I don't know how this works I guess. As I understand it, you need an Office subscription or one of the enduring licenses to use Outlook Classic. I would use it if I could but I won't get Office in any flavor. And I won't use anything that doesn't get updates along with Windows. That's bad...

I did reinstall webview2 at some point in this process. And I considered clean install but I'm stubborn since it still worked well in everything else and fairly clean eventlogs. I did perform an inplace repair with upgrade. But, I decided to give chatgpt a go. Yes, everyone hates on it. It took...

I checked for updates. The three red-dotted items did not need updating, they were apparently updated yesterday. Probably when I did the "repair" and/or "reset" in Settings/Installed Apps for Outlook? don't know. What DID appear was an update for CoPilot. I let it update that figuring maybe it...

Yup... I did that. Thanks. But it didn't help with this problem. The weird thing is it's not throwing any sort of errors into eventlogs. Did that too... maybe like three times! Well, after struggling around I found the logs Outlook generates, apparently for each session. After a crash it...

Anybody have advice on how to stop the new outlook from crashing? It's not always, sometimes, scroll or click in the folders and it crashes. Can reopen it and it will do maybe two or three more times then stay steady until I close it and we have another go at it.

Like others have noted: it's where HP keeps the cabinet files it uses to update it's drivers, apps and bloatware. It's generally safe to delete but if you're fond of uninstalling any of them and then later reinstalling I suppose it could save time downloading them again if the HP...

Hey thanks! this is also very useful since I can never think of any time it's ever suggested anything I wanted.

Yeah... but I don't like how it seems to do things without asking me. I had it turned off and uninstalled but after receiving an update package it re-installed and turned back on. What was worse is it actually moved the files for three folders to cloud storage, all without asking me which...

I had already uninstalled OneDrive. Thanks about the tip for disabling automatic updates to MS Store Apps. I'm not sure I want to though since there may be some of them I use and don't want the potential for them to stop working correctly. But I would love that it be less 'secret' about it...

OK... recent Windows update and somehow Onedrive got turned on and was sending all my Documents, Desktop and Pictures files to it's servers. It took me all this evening working with CoPilot to methodically return all files to my PC, verify them then disable and then uninstall the app. I then...

Yeah. I ended up rolling back too. We'll see what comes.

This is the preview cumulative update that delivers UI responsiveness improvements, or Low Latency Profile (LLP). I just installed it, and everything seems fine except for occasional screen flashes that I didn't see previously. It looks almost like a misbehaving overclocked GPU in a game—which...

I have read that Microsoft specifically does not provide for 'validating' a key by any method aside from activating a Windows instance. The reasoning seems simple enough: they don't want to create an incentive for the creation of apps that could be used, or subverted, for stealing keys.
