  1. Losing Files


    Here's the problem.


    For some reason, Windows 10 deletes everything from my Explorer Downloads file save for my Kindle content file daily. Luckily, I have all my Downloaded information stored on a separate portable drive, but it's ridiculous that I have to reload all of my Downloaded program files every single day.


    I have Adaware Antivirus set up to automatically scan my computer every other evening, but the deletion occurs EVERY day, so I doubt my virus program is causing the problem.


    Any recommendations/suggestions are appreciated.

    :)

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Burning Files To cdr

    I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?
