  1. Why programs are allowed to disable minimizing feature?


    It's really annoying when f.e. some games cannot be minimized to taskbar. Why operating system is allowing a mere program to control this part of operating system? This shouldn't even be possible to disable by any program.

  2. Windows defender does not allow for me to unquarantine items

    Hi Michael,

    The Real-time protection feature of Windows
    Defender stops malware from running on your device. It's possible that this feature is preventing the system from restoring/allowing the affected program. If you're sure that the affected program is virus free, we suggest that you disable the
    feature temporarily and try to restore the program. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Type Windows Defender settings in the search bar and press
      Enter.
    • Under Windows Defender, disable
      Real-time protection by clicking the toggle button.
    • Once you're done, restore the affected file/program and check if the issue persists.

    Also, you can allow a quarantined file/program from the Windows
    Defender desktop app. If you have the app installed on your device, you can follow these steps:

    • Type Windows Defender in the search box, and then select the Desktop app.
    • Under the History tab, click on the check box for the affected file/program.
    • Select Allow item.

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

    Autocorrect in Win10... basically non-existent(?)

    Hi,

    Notepad is a simple text-editing program that allows minimal formatting and limited to simple text entry. Meanwhile, the autocorrect in Windows 10 can be enabled or disabled by following the steps below:

    • Type Devices in Cortana search and press Enter.
    • Click Typing beside the keyboard icon.

    Each program has their own autocorrect features, from Windows built-in applications, web browsers, to installed applications. We suggest that you contact the application support to know more about their features.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

  4. Why programs are allowed to disable minimizing feature?

    Problem allowing program through firewall in Windows 10.

    Hello Andrew,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:


    • Does the issue persists with a particular program?

    • Did you check if you are facing similar issue when you allow other programs through the firewall?


    I suggest you to check if similar issue persists if you allow other program to allow through the firewall and when on reboot the program is disabled.



    If the issue persists, I suggest you to contact the program developer and check with the program settings.



    Write back to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
