Today in emails, when opening up links to documents, the document pages come up empty, without any words but with the lines, boxes and formatting and logo at top of page. What is being blocked here and what have I accidentally clicked on to disallow these to come through? Do I go into settings and look for something specific? I am in the dark here. Just happened today, fine yesterday. Windows 10, Gmail used.
View 3 RepliesI've double-checked the Outlook Options setting for playing a sound when an email is received, and the box is checked. I've also tested sound on my system, and it is working properly. However, Outlook no longer plays a sound when email is received. I've also tested the "New Mail Notification" setting in Win 10 "Sound", and it works properly with the Windows default "Windows Notify Email.wav" file selected.
I don't know why an incoming email makes no sound.
I have a provider who has emailed me numerous times a password reset. His notice that the password reset e-mail had been sent, yet I never receive the password reset email. I email him back and he says it was sent! I have checked spam, junk, and every other place I could think of and its not there? I don't know where the problem lies, Windows? Outlook? Server? My ISP said they do not block or screen emails.
View 2 RepliesI would like to disable all Windows 10 system sounds except for the sound for incoming emails in Mail. I tried to do this but failed. I went to Settings - Personalization - Themes - Advanced sound settings, changed the Sound Theme to No Sounds and then changed New Mail Notification from Non to a sound. Clicked Apply and OK. However, there is no sound for incoming mails in Mail.
View 6 RepliesI use Outlook 2016 as my e-mail program and it has always worked great. A few days ago I noticed that I was not getting some e-mail that had been sent to me. I know this because the e-mail was sent to a group. I had one of the group members forward the e-mail to me. I checked everything out in that message and it was totally correct. As a matter of fact 10 minutes earlier that same sender had sent another group e-mail and I got that one. The e-mail sender checked to see that the message was sent and not bounced back for some reason.
The problem has gotten worse, yesterday I almost got no e-mail and I know that I was sent a bunch of stuff. I even went to my neighbor and sent myself a test e-mail and it did not arrive. I am pretty sure it is not my system causing the problem because I have an Android tablet and it does not get the e-mails either. The thing that really has me puzzled is I am still getting some e-mail, mainly from advertisers.
I contacted my Internet Service Provider yesterday to see if they are having some problem. They are checking into it but there is nothing they are aware about.

Gmail does not display any incoming mail. Outlook.com will import them from Gmail, but will not itself display any incoming mail. Have resorted to using AOL.COM address as alternative mail address.
Is there a reason Action Center doesn't notify me of all my incoming emails? Just a quick Q I have...
View 4 RepliesI have never had any problems printing attachments until today, which tells me it must be a system difference (I recently downloaded Windows 10 to my computer)
When I searched it advised to open the FILE TAB, under printer CLICK PRINT OPTIONS, in the print dialog box select PRINT ATTACHED FILES BOX...
I only know of one file tab and I cannot access it from my email.
I have recently received four emails with attachments that have failed to download. The attachment icon is in place but at the bottom the notice 'download filed' appears.
View 12 RepliesUpgraded to windows 10. Now received emails show the paperclip but when I open/read the email there is no attachment.
View 3 RepliesI can't download anything from internet or email attachments. Have Windows 10 installed by manufacturer (not upgrade). Seem to be using Microsoft edge and can't find explorer in my program list.
View 1 RepliesThis issue started yesterday. Just downloaded W/10 3-4 weeks ago. When I open an email, say with an attachment or an Ad from a supplier, a box appears in red with letters and "code" type numbers/info saying session timed out
Did not have issue with 8.1 or previous W/7 Home Premium.
When I reply to an email, Mail keeps adding spurious PNG files to my messages. They definitely aren't there when I hit "send" or when they're in my outbox, but they are attached to the mail before the recipient gets it. Sometimes I see them in my "Sent" file, but not always; usually the recipient cannot open them and often I cannot do so either, but when I can open them they seem to show a graphic related to the business of the original sender of the mail that I am replying to (it doesn't happen if I start a new mail instead of replying to one)
View 3 RepliesUpgraded both our Desktop & Laptop to Windows 10 in the past few months. Last week I tried to access some Outlook emails that were more than two years old, the attachments & emoticons do not appear. This is on both PC's & the same result using Edge, IE or Chrome.
I installed Windows Live Mail & now I can see all the attachments & emoticons. Forwarded some of the emails from Live Mail to myself & now in Outlook the attachments/emoticons all appear as well (all three browser Edge, IE & Chrome). So say for instance I have a 2 & 1/2 year old email in a Outlook folder that will not display attachments/emoticons but the very same email just forwarded from Live Mail to my Outlook inbox now displays all attachments & emoticons
Tried inspecting elements. See msgs regarding HTML, Java Script in Edge? Don't have either Java or Silverlight installed, guess the newer browsers are moving towards HTML.
Using Windows 10 and since last upgrade, unable to open attachments in e mail accounts.
View 1 RepliesI installed Windows 10 a couple of days ago and really like it so far. I have been trying out the new MS Edge browser. I noticed up towards the top in Top Sites it would populate with websites I visit frequently. Kind of like it did in IE previously when one would click on a new tab and it would show the top frequented sites. Makes it easy to return to them.
So this afternoon I noticed in Edge, suddenly the top sites field was blank all the way across.
Why this would have blanked out? I did not do any clearing out of anything...
In Windows 10 v1511, when I open a new blank tab in Microsoft Edge and I write on it any word and I press Enter, the browser tries to load the http://<searched_word> page rather than performing a search with the default search engine. Why?
View 2 RepliesAny way to fix this easily?
View 1 RepliesDownloaded and installed 10 successfully, but when I try to open Chrome, I get a blank page with the spinning circle that says "loading". Tried to contact Microsoft customer support and was on hold for more than an hour.
The only reason I am able to post here is that I un-installed it and I'm back to Windows 7.
I primarily use the computer for internet access, word processing and e-mail.
I can't seem to catch a break since buying a new computer with Windows 10 and UltraHD. I've noticed that every time I open an Excel file, it not only opens that file, but it also opens a blank workbook as well. This has never happened to me on any previous computer or previous version of Excel and googling the issue has been futile thus far.
To be clear, I'm totally fine with Excel opening a blank workbook if I just click on the Excel shortcut on my taskbar, but I do NOT want Excel to open up a blank workbook when let's say I'm opening up a separate spreadsheet for a financial model.
I created shortcuts for my most used Windows 10 apps/tiles to my desktop, but some of the shortcuts have blank icons. I re-copied some and they stuck, but a few others are still blank after several retries. i.e. Scan and Store are blank but Calendar, Calculator, Photos, Weather and Alarms have the correct icons.
View 1 RepliesI just downloaded Windows 10 and am having issues with: missing pop-up menus; "Edge" & "Store" apps don't run (open with plain blue screens); I can't access Settings (same problem--I get only a plain blue screen); also Word 7 is buggy (i.e. the minimize button is missing when I have a doc open). From reading other threads here, I decided I should run a System File Check in Windows, but when I right click on the Start button (well...where I assume the start button is--all I have is a black square in the lower right corner!) all I get is a tall rectangle box with an arrow, and no text, no menu choices. When I click on the arrow, I get another tall box with no options.I have an HP Touchsmart desktop (would like to give more specifics, but the "my computer" file is gone and I don't know where to find that info in 10 yet). I use Firefox
View 7 RepliesI am using Windows 10 Professional edition. Following some random Windows Update a few months ago, my default Windows 10 weather app (the one that can be pinned to the start menu) displays the temperature properly and updates regularly, however, if I click to open it, it opens blank....basically, the window is just the blue background with the little icon of the sun in the center.
This app used to work 100% before.Lastly, I remember my calendar app not opening at all when Windows 10 was fresh. It would immediately close upon opening the calendar app. However, following some random Windows Update, the calendar app started working properly.
I "upgraded" to Windows 10 from 8.1, but I did a FULL install and chose to "save nothing" from 8.1, so it is about as legit as it can get to being a full installation and not an upgrade.
PS, it doesn't seem to matter if I enable to disable background data for the Weather app in privacy settings. I have tried it out both ways, and either way, on or off, the live tile for the weather app still updates, but opens blank and won't show me the large view when I click on it.
I don't use any other apps, I have not downloaded any other apps from the app store, and I have deleted some of the apps that came with Windows 10. I prefer to use my web browser for most things.
I am having a problem whereby my default browser keeps changing from IE11 back to either Edge or blank. Why this might be happening or what program is causing it to change? I thought it maybe the Windows Auto Update that keep changing but am now not so sure of that since the last recorded update is back on 14th January and my default Browser got changed again last evening.
The only other programs that run regularly are Norton Internet Security and Norton Utilities. However, I have been through the settings of both of those programs and cannot detect anything that would indicate that they change the default Browser.
Also, in IE11 under the advanced tab I have ticked the option the "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser" and yet (a) I do not get a notification and (b) the default browser keeps getting changed.
After successful upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7, I can send emails but cannot receive mail in outlook 2010.
Getting message: Task '……….@sbi.ae - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Also successfully run the SFC /scannow tool without any error.
I have a new Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14 with the NVIDIA 940M discrete graphics option, and after a clean install of Windows 10, maximising pretty much any application results in a blank (and faintly flickering) screen.
I got my unit about a week before Windows 10 was released, and intentionally didn't use it much for that first week. Then, shortly after release, I downloaded Win10 as an ISO using Microsoft's own tools, wrote this to a DVD, then booted the laptop using an external USB drive, carrying out a completely clean install (and blowing away the 8.1 restore partition, which in hindsight might have been a mistake). I allowed Win10 to install all drivers, then went to the Lenovo site for anything missing. End result is that pretty much any application (excluding the Edge browser) blanks the screen when maximised.
After that, I went back to 8.1 - again with a clean install due to no longer having a restore partition, and documented the steps taken this time:
Installed 8.1 from downloaded ISO written to DVD, via USB DVD drive
Ensured unit was offline
Installed latest Intel HD Graphics 5500 drivers 6.16.00.3174
Tested maximising applications, no issues
For each of the last three releases of the NVIDIA drivers (in case there was a problem with a particular release), being 352.30, 353.30, and 353.62:
> Installed the driver
[Code] ....
End result is a fully working 8.1 install - no problem with maximising applications.
I then disconnected from the network and did an in-place upgrade to Windows 10, again documenting the steps taken:
Immediately after installation, there were no Intel drivers and no NVIDIA drivers installed
Display was using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter only
Maximising an app instantly blanked the screen - interesting given the lack of vendor-specific display drivers installed at this point...
Connected laptop to network again and allowed Win10 to install all updates (including drivers)
On restarting, drivers were automatically present for Intel HD Graphics 5500 and NVIDIA 940M
Testing maximising an application again blanked the screen
As a test, the 940M was disabled via device manager and all GeForce drivers uninstalled
Testing maximising an application again blanked the screen
I've tried a further Windows 10 clean install since the above, but with the same result - doesn't seem to matter regarding the installation order of drivers, etc, or if I manually download these vs letting Win10 or Lenovo's system update application install them...
Plugging in an external display via HDMI shows no such issues, e.g. maximising applications is fine. If the display is mirrored, the internal screen still flickers with maximised applications.
On talking to Lenovo support yesterday, the response was that this "is a Windows 10 problem" and that I "should contact Microsoft" for a resolution...
I know I can go back to a clean Win8.1 install, but would much rather be on Win10.
