Thanks! It's a bit more complicated than that. I bought the edu license off a software store specifically for universities, and installed it myself on my own laptop (i.e., activated the edu license on a regular Windows install). It's possible that the restrictions are coupled to the serial (?)...

That would be quite enlightening if you'd care to explain what any of it meant.

Hi all, I have used Windows 10 Education for the past two years after my switch from MacOS, since I work in education. Worked fine, but certain features didn't work because they were apparently "hidden or managed by my organization". These included clipboard history (greyed out) and the option...

Just an update: I just upgraded to 20H2, and the issue has gone away. Probably some bug, then. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Hi, I tried all those (modem reset, registry adaptation, re-installing network adapter). The troubleshooter was a bit useless because it reports nothing wrong. In fact, everything works fine apart from Spotify and the task bar indicator.

Hi all, I hope you won't mind me resuscitating this thread, but the issue has not gone away despite me downgrading to 1908. The thing is, occasionally (once every four days or so, I can't reproduce it though) the Explorer will show the little globe in the task bar but networking is fine. Only...

Hm, without making it a fresh install (which is what I don't want)?

Hi all, A while back I upgraded from 1909 to 2004. However, one particular piece of software started misbehaving and I had to roll back (there were a few other issues as well, but these were minor). Since then, that particular app has been updated for compatibility with 2004, but Windows update...

Thanks. Seems I cheered a bit too quickly - the issue has cropped up again, no idea why. Everything connects in spite of it, with the exception of Spotify (which does log me in, which is weird...). I'll try your solution, Josephur. Edit: performed a rollback from 2004 to 1903, and the issue has...

Okay guys, thanks for your time on this, but I'm afraid that after three days of jinxedness suddenly Windows has come to its senses again and the problem has evaporated. Which is really weird because to my knowledge I haven't updated anything. But the issue's gone, it seems for now. A bit like...

Hi, I have a weird bug in Windows 2004 that appears to have cropped earlier with wired networking (e.g., Windows shows no internet access but my internet is working fine.) and although it's more of a cosmetic issue than anything else, I wonder if there is something I can do about it. In short...

Hi, Apologies needed, turns out that the problems were caused by me not using the latest version of CloneZilla. I used it to clone the drive and that went swimmingly. Thanks!

I tried Clonezilla, but with an astounding lack of success, as it won't even boot properly. Back to square one.

Thanks. I did try that to clone my Linux install a while back, but it wasn't exactly overly user-friendly. That was three years ago though, so I shall give it a go on Win10.

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of moving over from MacOS to Windows. While it has not been a problem-free experience (is there really no affordable and user-friendly ref manager for Windows?) I'm generally satisfied with my machine. Thing is, though, that just now that I have everything...
