If you’re having a problem loading a site correctly, you might try this:

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via “Forget About This Site” in the right-click context menu of an history entry (“History > Show All History”

You’ll get a warning that all cookies, settings will be deleted, do that and for me, anyway, the problem sites load fine.

Thanks, b, unfortunately when I run the command it brings up system icons, clock, volume, meet now, microphone, etc., and all of them are off. But of course the date/time is still on the task bar. I appreciate your help, I’ll just bear with it, figuring stuff out and watching the system change – for the better I hope – is my way of learning it. Take care.

 

Thanks, b, but in my version of Win 11 (21H2 OS Build 22000.556, so winver says, Personalization > Taskbar > there is no Notification area – there is Taskbar Items that allows search, task view, widgets and chat to be turned on or off – all of them are off – Taskbar Corner Icons that have pen menu, touch keyboard and virtual touchpad on or off – all of them are off – and Taskbar corner overflow, which lists what appears to be selected apps, not sure – all of them off. Nowhere is there a clock entry.

I do have Start11 running, which is a Stardock program and it seems to work fine, and in any event shouldn’t change windows settings options. I don’t expect things like this to be solved, so not disappointed. My facial recognition sign-on worked up to the last update, now windows says facial and fingerprint sign-on aren’t available at this time.

I bought a new computer, had it built, exactly 2 years ago. Has:

Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6Ghz (5.0Ghz Turbo) 16MB Cache Eight-Core CPU – Coffee Lake-S

       Max memory size 128GB

       Max memory channels 2

ASUS Prime Z390-A (Intel Z390, HDMI, 3xPCI-E, 2XM.2, 6xSATA, 4xDDR4 Motherboard

16GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3200Mhz Memory

Samsung 970 EVO Plus (M2 slot) 500 GB

Samsung 860 Evo SATA SSD 2 TB

6GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GDDR6 PCI-E HDMI/DP Video Card

Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

Doesn’t have a TPM chip on the motherboard, so can’t be updated to Win11.

Ever.

PTFB Pro (https://www.ptfbpro.com/) allows you to set up a window location on multiple monitors and moves the window to that location, size, etc., every time you open it – or only the first time you open it. I’ve never had a problem with windows moving from that location when the monitor went to sleep them woke. It is a paid app, not free.

And 78 has done away with x-notes – I frequently used it to add notes to emails. Any options anyone knows of would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve never deliberately updated office, but just did after your comment and it did update just fine, so will have to do that on a regular basis. Thanks for the tip, Joe.

 

Thanks, Joe. I did as you advised, wish the “view updates” showed actual updates on my computer with dates and such rather than generic new features… That said I have had previous updates when opening one of the office apps, but never had them crash the app and not install – wasn’t able to open any office apps until I rebooted. Anyway, thanks for the insight, appreciate the response.

 

Thanks b – tried the option under “save” to not show the backstage, that didn’t do it for me anyway. Hope I’m not anonymous this time – for got to sign back in. It’s not that big of issue, I just thought maybe there was a setting or well-known trick to do it, obviously there isn’t.

Thanks, RetiredGeek, my version is 1905 (Build 11629.20214). After I click on File, then Open, everything is correct. Never had it grayed out that I can remember…

Thanks again, NightOwl and bbearren, and others that responded. I believe I have it now, I just freaked out a bit when I read the warning. I will look into terabyte, and again, thanks for helping.

Thanks, bbearren.

So it was just a generic warning in case something went wrong – I can understand that, although it would have been nice for AOMEI to have noted that somewhere! AOMEI backupper seems to work fine, if I could impose do you have a recommendation for backup software other than AOMEI? Thanks again.

Thanks, Davidhk129, I always used the system backup – never had to restore – but I grew concerned MS is moving towards auto “backups” of data and cloud-based tech, and like the “disk check” function will do away with the traditional system backup – so I went to Aomei which is simple and does exactly what I want – except, of course, for the boot sector and restore function it seems.

Thanks, Nightowl, here is what is on the C Drive:

Disk 0 Basic 447.13 GB

Partition 1: (C:) 446.30 GB NTFS: Healthy (System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

Partition 2: 850 MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)

I’ve always assumed a system image made an identical copy of partition 1, including the boot, and a restore would restore partition 1, including the boot. Now I just don’t know…

 

I am running win 10 64 bit build 1803 OS Build 17134.590. It has an Intel Core i7-920, 16 GB of memory, a SanDisk 480GB SSD C drive, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 graphics board, a 2TB WDC hard drive. The boot disk and windows installation and programs are on the C drive, the hard drive contains data. Dual monitors.
