  1. New PC is automatically setting up with my deadname and I can't change it


    I just got a new laptop today and I was going through the motions of setting it up, and only connected one gmail account admittedly an old one I made in college that nevertheless has most of my google data attached to it and my microsoft account. Both accounts were made before I changed my name, but I have since changed the names on them so they've been up to date for a while. For some reason my new computer is labelling my userprofile and documents either as my deadname or as the first five letters of my college email, which is not even a name my folder in the users section of the computer

    :)

  2. Deadname

    Hi,

    so I have changed my name on my email, my account, etc. But I keep on seeing my deadname. For example in groove music I still see my deadname and if I go to change name, it says Theo. What am I supposed to do to stop seeing my deadname cuz it gives me really bad anxiety

  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.
