    Can't log in to Windows because code sent to email I can no longer access


    Hi,This is a curly one!I can't log into my Windows laptop Surface 5, because it sent me a new code to an email address I cancelled and can no longer access. I tried recovering the gmail address but can't.I then authenticated myself to Microsoft so was able to log in. I then requested Microsoft to grant access to a new email address...however it won't allow me to make that change for another 30 days, given I had to authenticate myself to Microsoft to log in.I'm totally stuck, don't know how to work around this problem.Please advise!Many thanks,

    :)

    Tailoring Emails Sent to Multiple Contacts

    Hello.

    I want to send emails to multiple contacts, separated by the ; of course, but if an individual replies, that reply would only be seen by me, the original sender.

    You see, I sent an email to multiple contacts and the replies were meant for me only - not for reading by the whole contact list I sent the email to. You follow?

    It is rather redundant to re-type/send individual emails saying the same thing to many contacts to get individual responses.

    Let's say, for example, I sent out a performance questionnaire to many contacts. I want the contacts to reply without the other contacts knowing what their responses are.

    Nothing 'shady' mind you. Just want contacts to freely express their opinions/suggestions/recommendations/help.

    Thanks for your input!

    Can't log in to Windows because code sent to email I can no longer access

    W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

    I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy.

    I have tried the following:

    1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
    2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
    3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
    4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
      1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
      2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection
    My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender)

    So - any suggestions?
