How strange. Went for years and years and years with a Windows 7 OS and never a single problem. Whereas from March this year, after investing in a newly refurbished Dell Inspiron, one problem after another. As it took the best part of half an entire day to get the PC to function fresh out of the...

I salute your perseverance in trying to make a pile of rubbish a workable desktop email client. Windows 11 Mail is a mess, thrown together by vengeful monkeys who did not get what they consider to be their fair share of bananas. Though faced with that mess when encountering Windows 10/11 for...

Thanks Obelisk. The thing is, this machine didn't start off with a Windows 10 Home OS, then upgraded to Windows 11, but equipped from new with Windows 11. Anyway. Just so logn as it works. (Which thankfully it is doing now.)

Big thanks to everyone for the help and specialist guidance. I've succesfully sorted out auto lopg-in using a combination of the ifo in Shawn's tutorial and netplswiz, so that's all done. The 'reg org' mystery I've left well alone as I reasd either on here or somewhere else that the pooter will...

Just askin', in view of the horrendous time I'm having trying to change some settings on my recently arrived Dell Inspiron. I've now had two massively time-consuming attempts at trying to achieve auto log-in, based on advice appearing on the 'Net as to how to manage this on a Windows 11...

QUESTION: What would you like to see in Windows 12? ANSWER: Evidence of intelligent life.

FINAL UPDATE: Obviously, Windows 11 Mail is indefensible trash. I have now changed this PC's Username to a Local Account (Administrator) and changed the name of the computer, too. So although being conned by Microsoft into thinking it was pretty much mandatory that one had to have an Outlook...

Sincere thanks to Fabler2 for coming to the rescue -- very much appreciated! The guidance was first rate and the attached screenshots, exceptionally helpful. I have manually changned the name of the preferred font, and manually changed its preferred size, because Window 11 Mail's 'Settings'...

BUMP. It seems the Mail app in Windows 11 is so unspeakably appalling that no-one wishes to speak about it. That's a shame, because it's forums such as this via which light gets shone on Microsoft's business conduct and technological capabilities. Yet another problem has come to light with...

Continuing my voyage around the bloated dross that is Windows 11, I'm now contending with Eleven's awful email. Despite running a variety of Internet searches in hope of finding out how to set up Mail for my day-to-day usage, thus far not a solitary word of relevant info has emerged. I can see...

FINAL UPDATE: I am at last able to achieve some downloads. . . I went to Malwarebytes tech support asking for help in identifying why I can't download anything, and tech support obligingly provided me with a link via which I could download a Malwarebytes mini tool-kit that would help me solve...

Many thanks, WXC, for your kindness in responding so promptly. It's a somewhat frustrating time at the moment, especially as when I open Task Manager I can see Malwarebytes Service is running, but when I attempt to stop it, I'm told I don't have permission to do so. I have however been into...

Sorry for arriving late to this thread, but I hadn't realised anyone else had raised a Malwarebytes issue on this forum. My situation is this: My Dell Inspiron 3891 desktop PC is 2 days old and came with Windows 11 Home. It has replaced an old faithful, a Windows 7 PC dating back to March of...

Addendum to earlier post: I've now clicked on the 'open Microsoft Store' link at the bottom of the Help page, rather than in the PC's own internal documentation, and wonder of wonders, a notice has appeared on-screen: Your device is not running in S mode. So, um, that's that. Reassurance. But...

Sincer thanks for the instant help. Apologies for slightly belated reply but I haven't had time until now (4.20pm, UK) to get back to this pooter. I'm still struggling to find my way around Windows 11 so the guidance about Settings is much appreciated. Thanks to Virginia's help, I've discovered...
