Hi Janet,

We appreciate all the steps you've tried to resolve the issue. Since it still persists, we suggest that you use the
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which will check and correct system file corruptions that may be causing the issue. Refer to this
link
for the steps.

Once you are on the support page, skip Step 1. Proceed directly on Step 2 until Step 4. If you are still experiencing the same issue after using the DISM tool, we recommend that you proceed with
System Update Readiness tool. The steps are also listed on the same support article.

Let us know how it went for you.

 

Left Side Sharing Popout

Hi all
I am new so please be gentle- I would appreciate any help on how to stop the very annoying sharing popout on the left of my screen on a lot of sites I go to.

I have seen small grey "close" arrow and do so but it immediately comes back again.

I do not use any social media at all so would like to disable this permanently.

I apologise if this has been asked before because I would not know what to search for.
