  2. Guinness Book Names "Top 50 Video Game Characters of All Time"

    I actually agree with all of the names in the top10. Each character is responsible for a genre or creating a genre. Good list.

    The REAL top 50 gaming characters of all time!

    What about Sam Fisher?
    And definitely Gordon Freeman has to be on the list and pretty close to the top!!

    EDIT: and yeah.half of the list is made of characters from 3 games.

    EDIT2:What was the name of the guy from Project I.G.I?That was another sympathic game character.

    "Chinese Characters" program delaying shutdown - a different approach.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    • As you have mentioned this happens only in the Admin account, is it local account set as admin account or the Microsoft account?
    I would suggest you to check the all apps list and check if that Chinese character app is present.

    After you try the above steps and share us the results what happens we can proceed with the further suggestions.

    Please post us back with the results after troubleshooting the above steps and check.

    Keep us posted to help you better.
