    Windows keeps adding an increasing number to my SSID


    I am running a fully updated Windows 10 (build 2004) on my laptop. My WiFi SSID is called Hotspot. For some reason, Windows automatically adds an integer to the SSID and increments it. I was up to Hotspot 17 before I used regedit to remove all extraneous keys (keeping just the original one).

    It was fine for a few days, but it has started happening again. Is this a bug? I am looking for a permanent solution; can someone help?

    How to get rid of the number behind the ssid?

    No the ssid is "xemtex" there's no 201 behind it, and I'm using phone as an access point and the number shown increase every time I turn off and turn it back on again.

    Increase Number of Items in Jump Lists


    As title says I'm wanting to know if there's a way to increase the amount of items can be stuffed into a taskbar jumplist.

    My reason is, I've used the jumplist feature in Windows 7 for Steam to give quicker access to some of the options you can only access by right-clicking the tray icon (i.e., set friends status to online/away/offline, open settings, server browser, screenshots, etc.) using these settings:

    In Windows 7 all of these options were displayed in the jump list with the last launched game at the top, in Windows 8/8.1 it seemed that they lowered the number of jumplist items by 1, as I no longer had the most recent game at the top, in Windows 10 Tech Preview, it was the same as Windows 8 until a recent build which redecorated all of the jumplists.

    Now I'm left with these options:

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?
