The security alert I think was triggered by me choosing to Sign In – a mistake. If a text was sent I have no way of seeing it, no mobile and home phone does not have text facility. The Sign In steps are ‘normal’, except now there is an extra step via your MS A/C. In my previous screenshot I was...

Thanks antspants. I’m low tech, don’t use a mobile phone. I did create a recovery email, cannot remember what I actually did, but got to a point where a small window came up asking for the last four digits of my phone number including the last 2 it displayed, which I did, then got a window...

Window 11 Home 24H2. I have a major problem (created by me?) whereby I can no longer get into Outlook. Provide a recovery email address – don’t have another one. Provide telephone number doesn’t work as the only one I have is what is held by MS. W11 came with Outlook pinned in Start, which I...

OK, thanks to all. Sorted desktop slideshow and opening of photos. One last question if I may. When I look in File Explorer, the same photos in a 'folder' can actually be viewed in another 5 different locations, not 4 as I said in my opening post. Does this mean they are only ‘displayed’ 6...

Thanks for your replies. Going back to desktop slideshow what I am trying to achieve is shown in screen shot of W10 at log-in to my PC. It is a slide show of a folder containing 10s of my photos and changes every 10 seconds. Cannot remember how I changed time! With W11 all I can get is the...

Marcus, thanks for the reply. Sorry I may be losing it, but I don't see Change Screen Saver. What I am trying to achieve is when I log on, get the desktop with my shortcuts with the screensaver as background in shuffle mode.

24H2 (OS Build 26100.2605) Hope it is OK to ask a number of questions in the same thread as they relate to File Explorer. - Have used Windows XP, 8 and 10, but cannot sort basic issues in W11. Is it possible to simplify W11 File Explorer? W10 is straight forward which I prefer e.g. Documents...

I appreciate all your replies, but I am lost. It seems the only option for me is MS Office Home & Business 2021 at £249.99 which does include Outlook. I’ll put the PC back in the box and forget about until the existing PC packs up. A final question. I’ve been going on about Outlook, but it...

My trusty 11-12 year old W10 HP desktop is in need of replacement. Bought W11 HP S01-pF2011na at reduced price. Can’t do anything until I create an MS Account which I do not want. The work around of no@thankyou.com does not work anymore. Having no choice but to create an a/c, presumably one can...
