Windows 10: Call from legit Microsoft rep

How do I stop scam from "Microsoft Security" my laptop became locked up, I call number for Microsoft Security. They call me back from 'secure line' telling me what they had access to -- which was all personal information, including bank account number etc. ?? I am pretty desperate. I am too old for this ****.

Microsoft rep didn't help, windows 10 internet worse than ever...

Months ago, I tried to update to windows 10. It did not work, so I left my computer as it was.

I thought that perhaps the glitches were fixed so I tried again. My computer successfully updated to

Windows 10. Only problem is that I can barely access any website(including Microsoft)...get the message..

"hmm can't reach that page". I contacted Microsoft Chat...the first rep said they would help, but I was dropped, so I tried again. The second rep on Chat tried to help, too, even remotely connecting, but the expertise simply wasn't there. I almost feel
as if there is a book or manual they are using that tells them what steps to take, and just like if it were me, if the steps don't work, they don't know what to try next. When the rep ran into a wall, it was me who suggested perhaps the anti-virus programs
loaded were a problem. I truly don't think the well meaning Microsoft Chat employee knew what to do.

Long story short, my computer's internet is virtually non-working. I have tried fixes listed on the Microsoft website. I have looked at countless YouTube offerings, trying to fix it. I updated the driver...then I thought I'd go to Intel and see if I needed
a different driver, but of course, the internet connection was so bad I couldn't complete.

I'm at my wit's end. I think I have to go back to an earlier version of Windows, but I don't even know if that can be done. This is so frustrating, I can't even compute....literally! Any suggestions for a very basic computer user? Not all of us are computer
geniuses. However, it doesn't take a genius to think I made a huge mistake in updating to Windows 10....I should have gone with the saying..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I just want to be able to use my internet again! Thanks!

Selected Window Not Pulling to Front When Clicked on Taskbar

Dear Microsoft reps,

This issue is still present for me, after all this time. It's been over a year....a YEAR !

I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1703 with all updates installed. I have tried all troubleshooting steps listed by OP and by Microsoft reps in this thread. Specific details of my symptoms and troubleshooting steps are listed in my other posts in
this thread.

Microsoft, please don't reply with "run SFC" or other standardized suggestions listed in this post. I've already tried them all. Please re-read our symptoms and provide some help beyond these standardized suggestions. I cannot adequately explain how maddening
this issue is...not being able to bring windows to the front defeats the very purpose of why Windows was designed...for multitasking !

Please help those of us who continue to have this maddening and productivity-halting bug.

Thanks.
