  1. I cannot access most of my apps from the dock.


    Hello. I have been having difficulties opening apps from the dock since mid-February. Most apps won't launch and all I get is an Explorer.exe pop-up saying, "Class not registered". I also cannot turn Bluetooth on or off from the dock, as well as check my notifications. I cannot access Microsoft Store either. In all, the dock is completely unresponsive. I cannot open the Settings app either, and I have tried many things to fix these problems. The only apps I can access are my digital painting apps, Bing, and File Explorer.

    Hi Tonyo,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the docking station?


    The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
    with the connections on your computer model.



    Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



    Update device drivers for docking station:

    • Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
      Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
    • Install the driver suggested and check.


    If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



    Note:

    Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
    configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.





    Regards,

  3. Preventing access to modern app

    Ive been tasked with preventing the children from accessing instagram. I've got it listed in my windows hosts file and internet options/security/restricted site but the windows 10 app is still allowing access. Any suggestions other then deleting app which can just be reinstalled?

    I cannot access most of my apps from the dock.

    I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

    1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.
    2. When i'm on docking station system says i'm connected to home Wi-Fi, but when i browse says not connected.
    3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
    4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?
