W10 Upgrade has changed file types

I have just had the latest big W10 upgrade and discovered it has changed my Word documents to Office Open XML files.

Can anyone tell me why this was done and whether there is a quick fix. Obviously I can use 'Open with' to get them back into Word. However then this involves duplicate documents.

 

Cannot connect to homegroup after Windows Updates

This did not solve the problem. We were able to solve the problem by going to another computer on the homegroup and deleted the computer that could not connect to the homegroup from the homegroup. After that I was able to connect to the homegroup from
the 'problem' laptop.

 

HomeGroup has always been temperamental. I would recommend to stop using HomeGroup and start using a Workgroup.

You'll have to soon anyway, when the Spring Creators Update (1803) is released in April HomeGroup is going to be removed.
