  1. Unwanted downloads - you need to stop treating my computer like your playground


    About a month ago I was getting an unwanted download of Forza Horizon 5 on my laptop, the game kept downloading in the background, taking up whatever space I had left on my computer. Even though I tried to cancel the download, it still kept coming in, needless to say I never even once installed this game on my laptop. And the worst part it, I wouldn't even have noticed it happening if the computer didn't get unbearably sluggish performance.So I tried to reset the Xbox app and MS Store app and it stopped, but today it started all over again! Are you seriously going to keep violating my user rig

  2. Unwanted messages when opening computer and Live Mail up.

    We suggest that you follow these steps to stop getting the security prompt:

    • Right-click on the Windows button, and choose Run.
    • Type: netplwiz
    • Deselect Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.
    • Click OK, and it will prompt you for the password to save changes.

    Regards.

    Downloaded Maps Manager - stopped working.


    In the Reliability Monitor I find 6 'Critical Events' detailed as "Downloaded Maps Manager - stopped working". These events occurred on separate days. Can anyone suggest the cause please.
    Also in Settings/Updates there is the tick box option to "Download updates for other Microsoft Products" . Any suggestions on ticking or unticking this option please. Would ticking it perhaps result in unwanted extras?
    Thank you.

    Roblox is treating my laptop like a tablet: Roblox is treating my laptop like a tablet, which is strange because it hasn't done this before.
