  1. LOST DEVICE


    I got this querry, I lost my windows 10 laptop device a while ago, I have exhausted all the process to locate it via my Microsoft account. Now I can see on the map where my device was last seen. I have tried to lock it remotely in vain. Microsoft promise to send a message to my email 1 month ago to date I haven't seen anything. How do I go about it thanks.

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done LOST DEVICE :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

    Network master browser lost to a linux device, how to disable it ?

    My NAS box lost it's position as the Master Server browser on our network. The device that picked up this role, is Linux based. How do I achieve the following Windows instructions as per this page, but in Linux?

    Norton Internet Security™ - Web Security & Protection for Your PC

    And if it cannot be done in Linux, how do I hard force a device to pick up the browser role? The NAS box is also Linux.



    And any suggestions for how to avoid this happening in the future, or a quick fix if there is one?
