AskWoody LoungerJanuary 25, 2023 at 4:14 pm in reply to: Chrome User Agent suddenly showing Windows 10 instead of 7 #2528333The User agent section in Network conditions in developer tools has the use browser default box ticked so I’m thinking that’s whats happening.

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 25, 2023 at 11:18 am in reply to: Chrome User Agent suddenly showing Windows 10 instead of 7 #2528254Okay, I had no clue Google had that in the works.
I did manage to find the user agent settings in the developer tools and its set to use the browser default, so I’m thinking you might be right about the increased generalization picking up.

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 25, 2023 at 6:52 am in reply to: Chrome User Agent suddenly showing Windows 10 instead of 7 #2528166That’s true, but what reason could there be for changing the User Agent on an unsupported system?
Can the change cause any issues?

AskWoody LoungerOctober 28, 2022 at 8:42 am in reply to: Up to a 3 hour delay in emails showing up in Outlook.com inbox #2492839Reading this post made me realize that I’d left a very important detail out of my original topic.
When I changed my Gmail password, the original alert appeared in my Gmail right away as expected.
I think the delay is only with messages being posted to Outlook.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 27, 2022 at 5:39 pm in reply to: Up to a 3 hour delay in emails showing up in Outlook.com inbox #2492661I wasn’t talking about the 2fa codes, although that doesn’t surprise me either.
I meant the alert emails that get sent when you change a password or first sign in with a new device.
All messages, no matter where they are from, are hitting my Outlook.com inbox between a half hour and 3 hours after they should.

AskWoody LoungerMore annoyed than worried honestly, since it seems that anything done on my end is only a temporary solution.
I’d be worried if I couldn’t make the pages work at all.

AskWoody LoungerI wondered about a slow connection myself, but if it was that, wouldn’t the entire site act weird and not just the product pages?
Did you notice the errors stopping if you were signed in?
To me, that’s a sign that whatever this is has to be on Amazon’s end.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 30, 2022 at 10:31 pm in reply to: Location in browsers defaults to city in another state #2466833The weirdest part of all of this for me was that that only things showing my location as Los Angeles were Google related.
It went back to showing my location as being in Ohio on Google search a couple hours after my other post.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 30, 2022 at 12:57 pm in reply to: Location in browsers defaults to city in another state #2466774Just had my first experience with this, Google search thinks I’m in Los Angeles county, California, when I’m really in southeastern Ohio.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 18, 2022 at 12:19 pm in reply to: Are Microsoft Outlook account suspensions valid, error, or other? #2464033I wondered the same thing considering people with 2FA on their outlook accounts are still getting the suspicious activity warnings.
If these are connected, I’d hate to work for Microsoft right now

AskWoody LoungerThanks, I was racing a storm to get updated and shutdown.
When the UAC popped up I saw the last 3 in 9.3.3.3 as a 5 instead.
So when the About tab showed version 9.3.3.3, I was very confused.

AskWoody LoungerWould disabling the Windows Search service be enough by itself to stop the search exploit?
Or would the registry key still need to be removed as well?

AskWoody LoungerThis is exactly what I wanted to know, thank you.
