  1. Windows username setup with the Microsoft Account isn't displaying all the letters


    I'm a former Mac user who recently bought a Windows laptop. While initially setting up the Windows from scratch, I opted to use the Microsoft Account which I had since the XP days rather than creating a local user. I don't remember the exact information asked in that setup, but my username now <My First Name> minus the last letter. For example, let us say the first name I entered was Oliver the username currently is Olive. I wouldn't have cared for that since my Microsoft Account's full name is always displayed where the username would have been. However, since I'm a developer, I keep looking at Olive every time I use the command line. I'm now wondering if anything else tops your name ruined better than this. I've tried most of the username-changing tutorials online that I was sure weren't going to break anything. I've even tried resetting Windows opting for a complete reset without preserving any data. I wasn't asked anything more than email, password and full name this time. Still, the username misses that last letter. Can someone please help me with this? I don't have much Windows experience.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
