Windows 10: How do I get rid of ridiculous messages?

If my Internet is down, it says "and the web is not the same without you". This is ridiculous and I want to get rid of it.

getting rid of facebook emails

Already some years I get emails from Facebook in arabic script. I cannot read a word of it. I am not on Facebook,and have no idea why I am on a sending list. Till now they come automatically in my spam / delete folder, but I will get rid from the sending list, since I have no idea which messages they contain. Returning is not possible since it is indicated: no reply Since I cannot read them, I cannot find an "unsubscribe" if such possibility is available. Any suggestions what I can do?

 

Ridiculous installation requirement


@whs, what you have experienced is due Two-Step verification which you have turned on. It is of course up to you alone if you decide to use this added security feature or turn it off. This screenshot from MS account's security options page:




More: Microsoft Account "Two-step Verification" - Turn On or Off.

In my case, I have Two-Step verification on with a secondary email address, a mobile phone number and the Microsoft Authenticator app installed on my Windows phone. In my case when installing Windows and using an MS Account for initial sign in I will get this:




If I have no access to my Windows Phone or for another reason want to use an alternative method, I can select phone or email:




Conclusion: You will only be asked the security code sent by email if you have set up the Two-Step verification feature and email is the only option (you will not use the Authenticator app nor have you given a phone number in your MS Account security settings).

 

Win 10 How to get rid of Windows.old folder and content.


*Think

As always, there seems to be lots of alleged fixes out there, which may work on versions earlier than Win 10... but not with Win 10. The struggle for getting rid of this now un-needed bloat seems to be wrapped up in file permissions. But even when I try to clobber it with administrative authority, it won't budge. One fix suggests that you can use disk cleanup to get rid of it by selecting previous installation files. Heh. Yeah. Just TRY and find that option in Win 10.

Ok. Somebody hopefully has managed to resolve this inigma. Step by step, please.
