Hello We have this issue whereby Windows Update, Outlook and Teams and more desktop apps are not working however I can open web outlook, web teams and browser internet. Windows Update gives this error - We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet.Outlook just Disconnect as though it cannot connect to internet however browsing the web works just fine and I am connect to the internet

web apps

ok so as i was reading the latest Maximum PC there was a small article about the possible future of web apps and "cloud computing" and was very intrigued so i went home and researched it a little...and there are some AMAZING web applications, such as

peacekeeper benchmark, browser based app that can detect and output your internet speed, hardware, software config

widgetop, allows you to take data and widgets from your own desktop and put it into a virtual desktop of your own the the site.

game-o-meter, can detect and compare computer specs. (virtual mark is very similar)

screencast-o-matic, desktop video recording without installing software!

you convert it, allows you to upload any file from your PC and convert it to (i think) every file type every made and than you can just download the file again in the format you just selected.

so my question is: how were these apps made? what language (i know some are java...but is it javascript?, visual java?) did they use dreamweaver? just give me info *Smile i really want to get into this.

 

Can no longer access apps in web browser

Mays, I did each of the steps in the order you listed and then restarted the computer, I have just tried 1.Clicking on an app (stickypassword) 2.it again opens on top of the web browser page 3.But when I moved the mouse the open app disappears from the web
browser open page 4.When I minimize the browser the app is on the desktop So nothing changed with this fix. What else can I try

Thank you

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?
