Thanks, again, Microsoft, for restoring my faith in your products. I had erased Microsoft from my life as completely as possible years ago, an switched to Linux. But, recently, I came back to the fold. Yesterday, an idea hit me for a simple my audience on social media would enjoy. It required...

Hi I really wish that Microsoft would make an easy way to get into safe mode on a computer that won't boot. I've had to deal with several issues that I believe I could have fixed easily if I could just have selected "Boot into Safe Mode" or "Boot to last good Configuration". The truth is...

I am very pleased to be releasing additional expansions of the Link Removed. Please stop by the Microsoft Networking Lounge at Black Hat, August 5-6, to learn more about these programs; or, visit Link Removed. We are raising the Bounty for Defense maximum from $50,000 USD to $100,000 USD. I am...

I am almost certain you guys have it in hand, but, before the event, is it not time to upgrade the Windows 10 layout in a similar fashion to that of Windows 8? It is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate to any one subject or, for that matter, to know where one should post a particular...

Well, I thought 10158 would be the last build before the final... looks like I was wrong. I wonder why so soon, maybe 10158 had some problem. It shows available in Windows Update, but so far it has not started actually downloading. Now it seems to be downloading at 50 Mbps... we will see...

Microsoft is making big Link Removed in the Internet of Things (IoT). Windows 10 IoT will power a range of intelligent, connected IoT devices. From small devices like gateways, to mobile point-of-sale to powerful industry devices like robotics and specialty medical devices. At the //build...

Recently at Link Removed and in the Microsoft Edge Web Platform Summit, we have talked about how our focus on bringing our teams and the technologies behind our web platform closer to the broader community of developers. We’ve made it a priority to contribute to open source projects that improve...

I don't care if you call it windows-8.2, windows-9, or windows-10. Decide.... and move on. ALL the software people need to know is what OS they are trying to write drivers for. The 10 version sounds good. Please make it as good as it sounfs...!

I have registered to another Windows forum a week or so ago. That forum is so lack of new questions that I seldom visit it. Today I decided to see what was cooking there. I came upon a thread which I wanted to reply. It was about running out of disk space in Windows8. I wanted to tell the OP...

Sorry to bother everyone here, but it seems like MS is requiring users to enter, and/or reset, their password every week now. I remember, a couple years ago, when MS DIDN'T require a person to change their password ever week. Now, I need to login 10-12 times per day, I need to change my...

Hi As some of you have probably noticed I've done a lot of complaining about Google Chrome lately. It wouldn't display this page correctly for one thing, always left a large blank space at the top with nothing in it. It wouldn't open links for my mail or other sites. I tried removing and...

Alright so I just did a clean install of Windows 7 and want to keep my Link Removed (I am very obsessive about keeping my laptop as clean as possible). As seen in the title I use programs such as CCleaner, Remove Empty Directories (it is a program), and Glary Utilities to achieve this...I also...

On July 7, 2012, members of our forum team gathered on Skype to discuss Windows8Forums.com and Windows7Forums.com activities and events. Several guest enthusiasts joined us during this nearly three hour webcast. As promised, nothing was left uncensored or non-discussable, and the discussion gets...

I have a license for Office 2010 Home edition, which is good for 3 computers. One of the computers is the one I have the Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Beta) installed on, so I though it would not allow for another install or give me problems when I reverted back to the Windows 7 install. So, I...

Hi everyone! I keep having problems with this forum. If I insert a link and then try and type after it on the next line, it keeps trying to mark every thing I type as a link, blue type underlined. Some times it just the first letter, and I have to type... MMike and then delete the first M...

I recently published a commentary/news video listed here about Windows 8 boot times. People have been arguing ever since. One guy even claims he hasn't updated his computer ever since installing Windows 7 to improve his boot time. Too bad he has missed out on stability and reliability...

It seems lately, every time I attempt to reply, I am asked to sign in again. It may, of course, be my system, but I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed anything like this. I suppose I might as well bring this up also. In the Windows 7 Support forum, selecting "Mark this forum read"...

Hi I'm often having problems if I try and type anything after I post a link. No matter wheat I do it wants to pick up the format from the line above and put the type in blue with an underline. Sometimes just the first letter, and sometimes the whole line. Also I posted yesterday on topic...
