  1. Password issue? Windows isn't telling me the password isn't correct, it's just dumping me...


    I've been trying to check out a computer I haven't used in a bit, and when turning it on, I'm obviously prompted to put in my password. I've tried a few. None of them are saying that they're incorrect, it's just sending me back to the main screen that shows the time and date. There's no "Forgot password" option anywhere on the page to put in my password.

    My login screen shows up like this (this is an example found on Google, but looks exactly like mine)
    I put in my password, it gives me the loading rotation wheel, and then dumps me back to this page. It doesn't tell me it's incorrect or anything just sends me back to the lock screen.

    What can I do to log into my computer? I've even tried restarting a few times to see if maybe it'd pull up the "forgotten password" option, but it hasn't.

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.

  4. Password issue? Windows isn't telling me the password isn't correct, it's just dumping me...

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    Managed to solve it... here´s how I did it just in case anyone else has the same problem...

    ->Settings

    ->Printers & scanners

    ->Add a printer or scanner

    ->The printer that I want isn´t listed

    ->Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings

    ->Use an existing port: USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)

    ->Choose printer

    ->Use the driver that is currently installed

    ->Type printer name

    And done... =P
