It seems like the changes I made didn't really SOLVE the problem, the rogue Microsoft account is still there in the background. If I go into settings and click accounts, it is still lurking. More worryingly, whilst attempting to sort out the OneDrive problem, I clicked on an account setting...

I eventually solved that problem by switching my local user to a Microsoft Account then doing the reverse to go back to a Local User. However, I now cannot get OneDrive to work. If I click on the OneDrive icon, I just get a white box. La plus ca change ...

I have already tried the 'Leave your Family Group'. When I initially logged in, there were three members: the chairperson who set it up and two others (including me) as 'pending members'. I clicked on the option to 'Cancel Invite' and my entry disappeared. So, from the perspective of the...

Hi, as part of improving the collaboration between some of our local tennis club committee members, I received an invite to join a family group. I thought it might allow us to share emails and calendars etc. So I clicked on the Join Now now button. I initially thought that it had not...

Pleased to have helped, AZhermit. As a member of this forum and one who is likely to be asking far more questions than answering them, I'm pleased to see that my reason for posting helped someone far quicker than I would ever had expected.

SOLVED! But not without issues trying to get there. For the sake of anyone else that may suffer the same problem, I shall complete the post. A search on the internet for error 0x800f0922 during Windows Update led to a Microsoft site that suggested uploading one's CBS log. That, I presume...

My Dell XPS 7100 desktop was recently upgraded to Windows 11 using the Rufus tool to overcome compatibility problems. (It is, after all, a fairly old machine). I did this to ensure that we could continue getting Windows security updates after Windows 10 ceased to be supported. Now, when...

Try3 - thank you so much. Adding it manually, clicking 'have disk' and pointing it to the extracted contents of the CAB file has done the trick. I can now use my old faithful B&W laser printer again. The power of the internet and online forums!

Bobkn, thank you for your suggestions. You are correct in that a CAB file is a "Slight pain to install". I'd suggest more than "Slight!". I followed your link to the Microsoft Update Catalog and downloaded the CAB file. However, whenever I attempt to use the DISM instruction (as per the...

I have just managed to 'upgrade' my old Dell PC to Windows 11 from Windows 10 following the TPM workaround method. It appears to have worked and most (reinstalled) software seems to run OK. However, during the upgrade process it removed all existing applications. It gave me no option to keep...
