    Since windows 10 upgrade, desktop is very slow/reluctant to load Thunderbird and Chrome from task bar

    Hi, Since I did a windows 10 upgrade, my Lenovo desktop is very slow/reluctant to load Thunderbird and Chrome programs from the task bar. I've deleted cookies, etc, it makes no difference. I have to click Thunderbird at least twice, before it registers, (but then sometimes opens 2 instances)...

    An alternative for Windows Live Mail 2012?

    Thanks people. And will these still bring in Outlook emails to my computer once they do their "upgrade"?

    An alternative for Windows Live Mail 2012?

    Can anyone suggest an alternative desktop based email program that will stop me having to enter into Office 365 or upgrade to Windows 8 or 10? I am quite happy with Windows 7, I don't use Windows "productivity applications", and I just want to be able to access my @outlook emails on my computer...

    Admin account is gone. No Admin even in Safe Mode. windows 7

    Thanks, but all I needed to do was OPEN MY EYES! On the screensaver settings I looked too far for the box to uncheck "On resume, display logon screen." Finally found it and all is good. Thanks people.

    thanks for that. I cannot do Open System Restore, it needs Admin privileges. I'll try the f2 option next. That might be a job for tomorrow when I'm more alert. Thanks heaps for your time, I'll be back on here to confirm what happens when it happens. Cheers mate!
