Sometimes updates can cause problems with accounts (or there is just a problem anyway) and therefore you will be signed into a temporary account.

Sounds like a temporarily profile - except of course it probably isn't. Can you confirm, is this a local account or linked to a microsoft account?

Update on this thread: I’ve checked today, and this still works well. But do I recommend it still? Not really, no. I am using the original W11 look because they brought back some important functionality. But I didn’t really ever use EP for the looks; I just made this post for those who wanted...

When I open calendar or mail, they 'crash' and then open outlook. What are they doing?!

Simple answer: No But I can understand why you wouldn't like this and therefore would recommend StartAllBack, which allows you to tweak the taskbar. Try it, see if it does what you want and after the trial ends, it is just $4.99 to buy. Side note: the easiest way to install it is opening...

Your PC specs have nothing to do with this, you have an SSD and good specifications otherwise. It is something to do with software installed on the computer. Have you recently installed anything? Do you recall updating the PC? Do you have any third-party antivirus? What programs autostart?

I did some research into this and it is a known issue with the software. A way you could fix it is to make a powershell script with the refresh command in it. Set-Itemproperty -path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\BingWallpaperApp' -Name 'OverrideWallpaper' -value 1 The way you can do this is to...

That is this bit: Just click and type cmd and it will open command prompt into the folder you are currently in

Yes, my canon ink cartridges have chips on them which detect whether they are real. These sub £50 printers often cost double that a year to buy the official ink if you do a reasonable amount of printing.

Wow, wireless was still fairly sophisticated for printers in 2012 so I am surprised to hear yours has it. Absolutely, I always think if it is such a good product - why did they get rid of it..

I had a look & you can get similar printers to yours refurbished around £100/US$125/AU$190 or the newer models for around £200/US$250/AU$390. If they last as long as your one I think this is a good deal.

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the Devices and Drivers section, but it isn't a query more just a discussion so I decided here is probably best..: Printers are either cheap and last a couple of years, or expensive and commercial. Anyone got any household budget (sub £250/US$300ish)...
