Windows 10: Pending? Updates lock up all functions

Wondering why Win 10 updates are now abrasively & aggressively interrupting my use of PC.Attempting to open a program resulted in a de-focused static display like looking thru frosted glass behind the M$ "rotating balls of infinite patience" - with no hint of resolving after >5 minutes.Could not even access TaskManager via 3-finger salute!?!Opting to "Restart" from Power icon and force-closing several open programs - including "WISPTIS" "...preventing your computer from shutting down" it was apparent that despite having 'scheduled' Win updates for Sept. 10 - Windows "decided" it wou

Rotation lock key is not functioning

Since the Rotation lock is still grayed out, our next step is to uninstall/Update your display driver. To uninstall your your drivers, you can do the following:

• Press the Windows and X key on your keyboard and click on
  Device Manager.
• On the Device Manager window, click on the Display adapter drop-down.
• Right-click the driver and choose uninstall.
• Restart your computer.

If it is the same, update the said driver by following these steps:

• Go Back to the Display adapter drop down in Device Manager.
• Locate your display adapter driver, right-click and choose
  Update Driver Software.

We would also suggest that you go to your device manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your device.

What email accounts show pending mails on the lock screen?

Is there any way to force an account to show the number of pending emails on the lock screen?



One of the nicest functions in WP7 is to see the number of pending email messages on the lock screen. Usually I can get two numbers. But I find no logical explanation on which accounts that are presented.

The first two in the list of email accounts in setup?

Or the first two accounts that have pending mails?

Or can I mark two accounts that should display numer of pending messages?



I have three private accounts (two hotmail, one Exchange), and one corporate (Exchange). If the corporate account was created first, I get a number/notification on the lock screen whenever there are pending mails.



If the corporate account was created last however, I never get get a number/notification on the lock screen.



Is there a way to mark which accounts that should display a number/notification on the lock screen?
