I've used keyboard shortcuts for years. Among my favorite shortcuts: Alt + F4 to close an app. That's one of many shortcuts that I've passed along to my "students." Among my students is my adult granddaughter, who has grown accustomed to closing her online game apps with Alt + F4. I recently...

First: No, did not have access to a wired keyboard. Second: I followed your instructions and deleted the keyboard device driver. I'm happy to report that after restarting the computer, the keyboard seems to be working fine. Thank you!

I just bought a new Acer Inspire Go 15. Today I was setting it up for my adult granddaughter to use. All went smoothly until suddenly the keyboard stopped working. I've tried the following— I've restarted, with no joy. At login, I was not able to enter my granddaughter's PIN, as the keyboard...

I've got the new PC and I'm trying to set it up at my home. My granddaughter is not with me. I got through all the preliminary steps--language, keyboard layout. Now I'm looking at signing into her Microsoft account, which she's had for years, and I'm getting a little perplexed and annoyed. I...

I've purchased (but have not yet received) a new Windows 11 (Home) laptop for my adult granddaughter. In my limited experience with such things, I've known that new computers typically ship with built-in bloatware--stuff that the user will likely never use, but that takes up precious storage...

A 14" screen is quite sufficient for her use, but I would consider larger; she does not need a touchscreen. I'll look forward to reading your assessment of the three models you mentioned earlier. Thank you.

I appreciate your detailed response. I am curious as to how you arrived at the "64 GB of storage." The specifications show "Solid State drive capacity: 160 GB." I do agree that this product is probably not my best choice. I will appreciate your help in finding "2 or 3 better Windows 11 laptops"...

My adult granddaughter—who has a disability (CP)—has played Wizard101 since she was a tweener. Right now, she plays the game on an HP laptop that's a couple of years old and shipped with Windows 10. It's not up to running Windows 11, and I'd like to get her a new (but not expensive) laptop that...

Good morning, datawizard0103! I was impressed with the AI response that appeared within seconds of my posting last night. Still, I'm glad to get your reply. I feel more confident dealing with a human. Control Center does display two versions of Windows: "Windows 11" and "Windows 11(1)." You...

I run Windows 11 as a virtual machine on a MacBook with Parallels. Windows crashed a few days ago, and I had to reinstall Windows and Microsoft 365. Now when I launch Windows, I see it has named itself Windows 11(1). It's a small thing, but that little "(1)" annoys me. Can I rename it to read...

I'm a long-time Windows user, but new to this forum. I hope to contribute and to find to solutions to computer problems.
