I don't use Edge, so I just ignore it and don't worry about it. It takes up space on my hard drive, but I have 250 GB of free space, so I don't care.

I have two Yahoo accounts and two Gmail accounts. The Gmail accounts have never received any spam and is very quiet. I have t send some test email to them once a week to see if they are still working. Of the Yahoo accounts, only one as received some spam, about once a week. But you have to work...

Well, surprise, surprise. The WiFi symbol is gone again and the Ethernet symbol is back. This is after the latest reboot and installation of the latest Security Update (KB5083769) and .NET Framework Security Update (KB5082417). I guess, as long as I am actually connected via WiFi, it really...

I install all updates that come my way. So I don't include the build number on my Windows 11 specs. That would mean that I have to update it once a week. I simply say "Windows 11 Home, 25H2, Latest OS Build".

I'm just showing you what I get. I have never had Norton installed on any of my computers. I have been working on computers since the late 60's. Norton is just very invasive. They will try anything to make a sale. I have seen similar intrusions on Facebook. Yes it does, doesn't it. The image...

The site that is linked in the first post of this thread.

This is all I get when I visit that site. Prior to this static picture, there is a lot of fake scanning activity shown. It is an obvious fake, and can be easily thrown away. So I did. But it can make some users panic. So much for good free apps. And no, I don't have a current subscription to any...

Well, my WiFi symbol is back. Exactly why, I am not sure. I started to have problems viewing "Reels", while visiting Facebook. The Reels screen was blank. I tried a few times and then decided to update my browser (chrome) and reboot. During the reboot, the screen indicated that it was updating...

That was one of the first things that I tried. If I turn off the WiFi, I see the globe symbol, which indicates no internet. When I turn WiFi back on, I only get the Ethernet symbol. Hovering over the symbol shows that I am connected to MySpectrumWiFi and I have internet access. I found those...

No, you were absolutely correct. Although the time stamps show that you posted before me, I was not aware of your post until after I posted. Thanks for your support. Since then I also did a Google search on the subject. Initially they suggest that it indicates a misconfigured driver, a stuck...

Seems to me, that my Laptop does not have a Ethernet connection and only connects with WiFi. Seems to me, the WiFi symbol should be showing. The WiFi symbol was there up until the update yesterday. I have been running Windows 11 on this laptop since December 2021 and have never seen the current...

After the last update (KB5086672), that I installed yesterday, I no longer see the WiFi symbol in the taskbar (bottom right). I searched around but didn't find anything on this. It's really not a big deal because, the symbol that is there, shows me that I am connected to the internet. And...

One of my discussion forums (eHam.net) has resorted to the "reCAPTCHA" to prevent being shut down by bots. For me, it only happens once a day, even though I may visit the site multiple time in a day. With a direct link, it is usually just a 3 or 4 second delay and I go right to the site. But...

IMHO, this is good advice. I have two Yahoo.com email accounts. One of them (for my wife) use to get a ton of spam. But when that happened, I just selected them (not opened them) and the clicked the spam button. All of the selected spam is then sent to the spam folder, where any links, attached...

No, I run W11 Home with all the latest updates. I don't use a tweaker of any kind. When I was a Unix admin (retired 2011), I use to use something similar to NTlite so that I could fit and entire OS (Solaris 10), with all applications, on a single DVD. Now I just use what comes with the system.
