    Call from Microsoft Washington


    Hello, today I received a call from Microsoft Washington saying my computer has problems after uploading and that is why they are calling me. How do they know that and on top of that we are seven in our home with five computers how can they know they fell on the right person whithout even knowing my name??? Is it a scam or is it real?

    :)

    Washington DC is in which region?

    Isn't Washington D.C. appearing separately ??

    If not, do you see District of Columbia in the list ?

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Washington DC - on which map? (Nokia Maps)

    Could anybody help me to identify in which State of USA I can find Washington DC map in Nokia Maps, please?

    As I understand it is a separate state, but it is not visible on the list in Nokia Map Loader.
