    Sr. Citizen Questions (probably dumb and basic, but would appreciate


    Hello,

    Using Windows 10 as a virtual machine (via the program Parallels) from a Mac.
    Not used to the nuances of W10, and am really confused.
    Sr. Citizen now, so please put up with some dumb questions:

    a. The program(s) listings on the left side continually shows nonsense like Disney, Xbox, etc.
    I do the Uninstall, but they keep coming back. Any way to stop them from re-appearing.

    b. I don't want Cortana to show, anywhere on my desktop.
    How do I eliminate it, it's search box, etc. from my screen ?

    c. Where, or how do I install a normal W10 Search box, assuming there is one ?

    d. I downloaded zip file for a program I would like to install.
    I keep getting msg's that it won't allow me to do this, as I, or the program, lacks
    the appropriate "permissions".

    How do I get around this, please ?
    Is there a global setting, perhaps, so I wouldn't have to do this each time ?

    I'm using AVAST. Could they be blocking it, perhaps ?
    (but I really get the impression that it is W10 doing the blocking)

    e. Where do i find the Add & Remove (for programs) screen ?

    f. There doesn't seem to be a Delete function for some of the Folders when I right-click.
    Is there a trash, somewhere to delete them ? I don't see any.

    Just one more (for now), please. I'm using AVAST. Does AVAST prohibit Windows Defender from working, or do they both function together ? BTW: how do I access Windows Defender; can't seem to find it anywhere.

    Much thanks; really appreciate the help,
    Bob

    :)

    Program Files (x86) Question, Please ?


    Hello,

    Really a dumb question, but will blame it on my Sr. Citizen status now.

    Looked in File Explorer, etc., but just cannot find it.

    How do I see and get to a listing like "program Files (x86)" ?
    Such as what easily appears in W7

    Where is it located, exactly ( the "program files" complete list with the x86 suffix) ?

    I can find the program files, but not with the x86

    Much thanks, appreciate the help,
    B.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I apologize for the delay.



    I suggest you to go to the manufacture’s website and download Citizen GSX-190 driver for Windows 8.1, install the drivers in compatibility mode.



    Refer the steps:

    • Download the Drive from the manufacture’s website, Right click on the setup file and select Properties.

    • Click the compatibility tab, tick the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows.


    Regards,
