Re: Imap not working on W11 laptop
[real time (as Elon Musk would say)!] I was about to install Thunderbird after having no emails (sending/receiving) since Thursday. I decided to fire up Outlook and 14 "missing" emails popped up in the Inbox. I have an ancient program that utilises POP3 and that works fine. However, if you're still using Outlook fire it up and see if it's fixed... [TL;DR] Outlook seems to be fixed (for me at least). The spam messages were delivered without any problems, oddly enough... It's like take your kids to work day and they decided upon themselves it would be fun to throw the paperwork around the office just for fun...Re: Email access issues p/w failure out of the blue
2-06 AM 26/10/2025 Fed up with faffing about, getting nothing done. Process does not work. I get a Blue Screen of Death during the update process putting me in doom loop. Can't access emails via Microsoft Outlook, old password doesn't seem to work. I can't complete the 2FA making it so secure I can't get my own emails. However, continually adding back up webmail addresses and faffing about with half completed updates makes it less secure. It was working fine on Thursday 23/10/2025. However, using Mailwasher with the old password works fine. I can see my emails in that program.😬 I get a link expired page every time.Re: Can I stay with Windows 10?
LibreOffice is a fantastic piece of free software; I've been using it for years now. If you prefer something resembling Office 97 OpenOffice is a good piece of software too. You can save stuff in the older Microsoft formats, but you may lose some formatting if you use more more the more modern Microsoft stuff.Re: Windows 10 22H2 Update: comment share your experience
This is for those who have managed to get into the free ESU program, as today (15th October) is the first day without official support if you aren't in the program. Earlier today I downloaded the updates on the screenshot below: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/october-14-2025-kb5066791-os-builds-19044-6456-and-19045-6456-657e5143-6c5d-4401-8efa-1641ca93c051 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5068164-windows-recovery-environment-update-for-windows-10-version-21h2-and-22h2-october-14-2025-8fdc399d-0ac1-4022-81bd-7127e91933ec https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/october-14-2025-kb5066747-cumulative-update-for-net-framework-3-5-4-8-and-4-8-1-for-windows-10-version-22h2-a0f4e5f6-af67-42c9-9052-902a79d713d1 The whole process took 2 hours 38 minutes from download to desktop, so they make you wait.
