Windows 10: Microsoft failings in reporting their program failures due to not reporting program activity

Right from Windows 3.1, one of Microsofts most serious failings is not to display their program progress or the break points in their utilities as to what their programs are are currently doing.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

Child Activity Report

Hello Tareq,

Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

• Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your account or to your computer prior to this?
• Which email address did you use when you've set up the Family Safety?

To make sure, I suggest that your follow these steps and see if it helps:

• Go to account.microsoft.com/family
  and sign in with your Microsoft account.
• Find your child's name and select Activity.
• If Activity reporting is turned Off, use the switch to turn it
  On.

Note: If you don't want to get weekly activity reports in your email, but still want to see your child's online activity, switch Email me weekly reports from On to Off.

We're looking forward to your response.
