  1. Unable to update S mode


    My grandma has a laptop with Windows 10 S mode, but for whatever reason, it won't update from version 1909. It's important she stays on S mode for safety reasons, but it would be nice to update it for better securityI don't know the exact specs of her laptop at the moment, but the problem is that when I open Windows Update, I click check for updates, and it says it's up to date, but the "Your device is missing important updates and quality fixes" text still shows up. I'm really confusedIs 1909 the latest version of S mode?

    :)

  2. New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM
