  1. Need help with something


    I am currently at my friend's house and he asked me to try and fix his computer because when he opens it, there are no icons on the desktop, the screen keeps refreshing so it seems impossible for me to do anything. I managed to open the task manager but can't do anything else. He has important files on said computer and I wouldn't want to reinstall his windows from bios and have him lose everything he has acquired over 3 years. So yeah, his computer opens but it keeps flashing and I can't really interact with anything on the desktop nor open anything else than the task manager. It's the first time I encountered this problem and I've had many before this on my own pc. I would appreciate help from anyone that knows anything about this. In case you want to know exactly something about his computer or what else is or not wrong, you can just ask me personally.

  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.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    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.
