Windows 10: 3rd Party Company

I did a search for MS tech support and 855-345-8210 was a search result, so I called the number. I needed help with Outlook. The rep said MS no longer supported Outlook, and they were the company that handled Outlook support. I gave them access to my computer. They fixed the issue, but were phishing for information. I have not paid them, but they are looking for payment and said that if I do not pay they can't help me with any further email issues. They performed the work under false pretenses, and may have copied and downloaded my files. I did a full system scan and there were no threats found. Has anyone heard of UltraShield Software Technology? Limited info online. Are they legit? I can't perform a "fresh start" for some reason, even after troubleshooting. Can anyone help? Yes, I am mad at myself.

Windows Mail and 3rd party messages

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

• May I know what exactly do you mean when you say "download messages from 3rd party into Windows Mail"?
• Are you referring to Mail app on Windows 10? If so, are you able to receive any send email via Mail app?

If you are facing issues with Mail app, I suggest
run the in-built Windows Store app troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows Key + X..
  
• 
  Click on Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on View All.
  
• 
  Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.
  

Let us know if the issue is resolved or if you require further assistance.

 

Is Slimware Updates a legitimate part of Microsoft? Or is it a 3rd party company?

* Original Title: Slimware Driver Updates

1.Is Slimware Updates a legitimate part of Microsoft? Or is it a 3rd party company?

2. Why did it and Slimwares Utilities download with the Windows 10 that was forced on me, and place icons on my Desktop?( Although 10 isn't as bad as I was led to believe it would be.)

3. Why would I need about 18 updated drivers if Windows 10 downloaded only TWO days prior?

4. Also, unrelated to my above question, where is the listing of all installed programs? It used to open automatically when you hovered the mouse at the bottom of the Start Menu. I only see a listing on the Control Panel "Programs" listing to "Uninstall
or Change" heading. The two lists were different. I'm referring to the "tree"one could open from the Start Menu.

Thanks.
