    Keeping my real name private at MSN


    All I want to show is my initials and a username at MSN, when I reply to an article. Just like here you know my first and last name, but my profile is 131Steve. But at MSN it Displays my Initials SP in a circle followed by my full First and Last name. If I click edit, it sends me not to an MSN profile edit, but to my full Microsoft account. I don't see anywhere on my Microsoft account to give me a display name other than my real account name. I see many others without a full name showing. How can I accomplish this?* Moved from Community Center

  2. MSN Weather App live tile keeps stopping

    Hi,

    Since you already completed the troubleshooting provided and it did not resolve the concern with the live tile of the MSN Weather app not updating, we suggest that you reset the MSN Weather app by following the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings
      app and then select System from the list of options shown.
    • Under the System options menu, select the option on the left-hand panel labeled
      Apps & features.
    • Under Apps & features, scroll down through the list of apps installed on your computer and locate the
      Weather app.
    • Select the Weather app and then click on the link "Advanced options".
    • Once you have the "Advanced options" menu open, click on the button labeled "Reset".
    • Once you click on the "Reset" button another prompt will show up notifying you if you would like to complete the reset. Just click on the "Reset" button to complete the process.

    Once you complete the steps provided, we suggest that you restart the computer first before you proceed to set up the MSN Weather app again and also verify if the live tile will update properly or not. If the steps still do not resolve your concern we suggest
    that you follow the steps on this
    link
    to provide feedback from within the app and provide as much detail as you can to resolve the concern. Refer to the section in the article labeled "Send ideas for improving the app" for the steps to submit your feedback.

    Feel free to reach out to us for further concerns.
