  2. Outlook, Windows update screwed my computer

    Hi Bennie,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

    • When you set up the account, did you create a local account or Microsoft account?
    • What is the exact error message you get when you try to login?

    I suggest you to check if you have activated two step verification for your account. If yes, I suggest you to turn it off and check.

    How to use two-step verification with your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    Also check if the Windows Update was successfully installed on your computer.

    • Press Windows Key + I and click on Update and Security.
    • Under Windows Update tab, click on Advanced options
    • Click on View update history and check if the update is installed properly.


    Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.



    Thank you.

  3. Windows 10 update screwed my video

    Hi Sheron,

    This issue might occur because the driver installed is incompatible with the latest update installed on your PC. In order for us to better sort things out, we would like to verify if you're using the latest driver of your graphics card manufacturer.

    If not, we suggest updating the driver to resolve the issue. Please perform the following steps:

    • Select the Start
       button, typeDevice Manager, and select it from the list of results.
    • Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select
      Update Driver. For graphics cards, expand the Display adapterscategory, right click your graphics card and select
      Update Driver.
    • Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
    • If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

    NOTE: If the following steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver. Here are the steps:

    • Open Device Manager
    • Right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device
    • Select Uninstall
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver

    I hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions, feel free to post on this thread.
