    "Contacting the server for information"


    When attempting to Open or Save a WORD or EXCEL document, a dialogue box often opens with the following message: "Contacting the server for information"I usually have to "end task" from Task Manager but this issue seems to occur rather routinely. This is my first Surface Laptop and I experience lots of issues with either it or OneDrive.......almost every week no exaggeration.Any help, guidance and suggestions on any of this would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Skype Contacts: How To Store Information?

    Hi, this may seem like a simple question, but I need the input of the I.T experts from this community!

    I've got a bunch of contacts on my Skype account now and I'm finding it very hard to recall each contact's information.

    I just want to save text that lists information about each Skype contact.

    It'd be great if I could open an app and have it display the information of a contact...

    Thank you for any help!
