    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.

    Can't log into pc

    Hi,

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

    Please answer this question to assist you better.

    • Is the issue in Local account or Microsoft Account?
    • Are you able to use Mouse?

    I would suggest you to restart your computer and check for Num lock
    key on the keyboard; It should be turned on. Also press Windows key + space bar
    and check for language changes.

    If you are able to use Mouse then click on Easy of access
    button on the lock screen and choose onscreen keyboard and try to enter the password. Do let us know if you are able to log into PC. Thank you.

    There is a pc that my mother owned and recently upon trying to log on it is telling me to...

    Does Windows 10 log opened files from recent files?

    Does Windows 10 have a log listing all opened files? I am trying to troubleshoot when some unknown files were opened on my PC. They appear in the Recent File list in File Explorer, but they were on an external drive and do not show a date when they were
    last opened. The files in question are .jpg located on a F: drive. Their properties only show creation dates before they were opened, and the modification dates are even older, suggesting that they were edited back then. I have searched my PC, and the files
    do not exist on it. Thanks!
