    What are Appraiser* files?


    Since 1/10/2020, I have three new files under C:\Windows\appcompat\appraiseer. An Explorer snapshot of those files is shown below. Does anyone know what these files are for? Could they be malware?

    Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser will not start manually

    Hello,



    I hope I am posting in the correct forum. Let me know if I should post in a different windows7 forum or the windows10 forum.



    I have Windows 7 PRO (64bit) and cannot find a way to make an update to the Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser.



    What I have done:

    Downloaded and installed KB3035583. I have the windows (flag /) icon in my task tray and successfully ran the Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser. A report was generated on 5/26/2016 saying my PC (a desktop) was compatible and there was one
    software program that needed to be removed.



    The software program is an “ older” copy of Acronis Home backup. I updated the Acronis program to a new Windows 10 version, and verified the new version works and makes backups.



    I want to re-run the Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser to verify my PC is now fully 100% compatible.
    I have been unable to find a way to manually run Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser.



    When I open the Windows 10 task tray icon I appear to be stuck at the completion of the last run (report dated 5/26/2016) with no way to request and update.



    I did a Google search on how to manually start Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser.

    Two pages listed the following elevated command prompt to manually start Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser.



    Open an elevated command prompt window, type the following command, and hit Enter:

    schtasks.exe /Run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser"



    I sent the first command and waited about an hour and a half and then checked for an updated report in the
    Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser. There appeared to no change, text of report is the same; Acronis software still flagged as a problem and the report was still dated 5/26/2016.



    I sent the second, identical command. It has now been over 4 hours and a check of the Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser report shows no change.
    Text of report is the same; Acronis software still flagged as a problem and the report was still dated 5/26/2016.



    What am I doing wrong? I need to have a current dated report showing the compatibility is 100%, OR a list of non-compatible items
    so I can make changes or remove. Is there a way to manually start the Windows 10 Compatibility Appraiser and generate a current dated report?



    I looked at the Task Scheduler and as far as I could tell the task scheduler , under Setup, gwx is supposed to run at log on.
    It may be running, but not generating an updated report. I am not familiar with the Task Scheduler, so my interpretation is probably not correct.



    Suggestions and tips greatly appreciated,



    krazykat

    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.
