Each time I boot Win 10 it asks for my Live password. Presumably this is because I have OneNote 2016 installed. How can I eliminate this prompt without having to uninstall OneNote?
View 2 RepliesI managed to eliminate the password requirement when starting up and restarting but I haven't figured out how to do it when the computer wakes from "sleep". Is there a way to do that?
View 2 RepliesOne of scores and scores of people having home network connection issues...when prompted for the password, etc, when trying to access a network share (another desktop in the house)... What is the attached jpg network password asking for ?
Right now only a 2 PC network (not Homegroup) Sharing is enabled and in Private mode all network settings have been checked and double checked
Is it the password for the current system...ie this PC's password when trying to connect to Network share ?
Is it the particular user that's logged on password ?
Is it the password for the network share I'm trying to reach ?
Is it separate or different from the Windows On-line account password ?
Same for user...is it the current users name...is it the current PC's name....or is it the name the MS account is using
As you all know some people use dial up connection. I am one of them. I would like to click my dialup and automatically connect rather than viewing the " Username and password window " as I have saved UN and PW anyway, Basically, I would like to make it fully automatic, now this is the problem as can be seen in the ATTACHMENT.
It shows, lack of options in windows 10 when it comes to tweaking options for dialup. So, how to do it without GUI. As I downloaded and install the same file to install my dialer, I know there has to be a way to " Remove the tickmark from highlighted fields in the above pic.
I am running Windows 10 Pro. I am using BitLocker on a non-system drive and not on my system drive. I am not planning on using it on my system drive. I do not have a TPM compatible computer.
Once I log into Windows, I would like to be prompted for the password to unlock my data drive. I did have this running correctly before I started having problems with my computer and had to do a clean install of Windows 10. I have searched for hours but can't find the article that walked me through how to do this.
I found a ton of articles that don't fit my situation because I don't want to auto-unlock, use a USB key or encrypt my system drive.
Tapping F8 or spacebar doesn't do anything ?
I want to boot to command prompt only. I need to rename my user folder, in an attempt to get it named correctly, after the clean upgrade decided to drop the last character, which now gives me a girls name..
Doing it within Windows gives me an Access Denied.. Doing it as a local account, gives me an Access Denied.
Was going to give it a shot outside the OS. and at the recovery prompt, using just the REN command.
Then booting back in, (ignoring the plethora of errors) mess around a little in the registry, have my Microsoft account sync itself back to the correct path, then go for another clean install.
I have just used the SHIFT-Restart option to activate the Windows 10 Troubleshooting and tried to open a command prompt. It asked for a password. I entered my password but was told it was incorrect.
I booted normally using the PIN I normally use, and went through Settings | Accounts | Sign-in options | Change to change my password. In the 'Old password' box I used the same password that had just failed to get me into the boot command prompt and it allowed me to change the password. It said I had successfully changed my password.
If I use SHIFT-Restart again, I still cannot get into the command prompt using the new password.
Am I dealing with two separate passwords here? If so, how do I change the one associated with the boot command prompt?
Note that when trying to boot to the command prompt, the displayed use name appears to be correct - i.e. it is the same one listed when I use my PIN to boot normally.
I finally got around to building a computer and it was working fine until a few days ago I turned it on and something strange happened. Directly after the msi dragon bios prompt screen, when it should be booting Windows, the screen starts flashing white with two black squares on it. It only seems to happen after it has been off for some time, like over night, and after turning restarting it a few times it eventually works.

How do I bypass the lock screen/sign-in ,
View 1 RepliesWhen I right click on Internet Explorer in the Taskbar I see a list of Frequent sites visited. How can I get rid of this list and keep it from regenerating?
View 1 Replieshow to eliminate the lock screen preview and bypass the 'Sign In' button on the lock screen?I often put my computer to sleep then to bring it back (in Windows 7) I would simply hit the space bar and turn on my mouse and it would go straight to my desktop. Now, I hit the space bar turn on my mouse, and it takes me to the lock screen preview then I hit the space bar and it takes me to a lock screen where I have to click 'Sign In' even though I have no password set.
I'm guessing I'll no longer be able to hit the spacebar, turn on my mouse and go directly to the desktop but if I can hit the spacebar, turn on the mouse, then hit the space bar one last time, that would be satisfactory.
I would like to eliminate the sound when I adjust the volume on the sound icon in the lower right hand area of the task bar . Wat steps I can take to be able to still adjust the volume, but not hear the loud sound it makes when adjusting?
View 3 RepliesOk so i am furious with Micro$oft now! the other day i was FORCED to change my microsoft account after much nagging i did so and i dont like changing logins too much. (this was a week ago)
now for some random reason on earth without my permission my windows login also changed login passwords to the microsoft account. I DONT WANT THAT! that password is too long and complicated for someone who locks his computer every 5 minutes or so. why did this just kick in now? i changed M$ account pass over a week ago and today it decides to change windows login?! can i change JUST my local windows login separate from microsoft login?
if i try to change pass from settings it it goes online and says you cant use password that has been used before.
after an update at starting, tablet laptop start gives picture/clock screen, that slides to the password screen but when password block is touched on screen or mouse clicked the screen flips back to the picture/clock ... how to deal with this kind of lock out that the typing box won't open and loops to clock screen? have turned off for an hour to see if that does it..but if not...would restarting into a repair or recovery be possible fix...i have never been able to get into safe mode without being logged in but have gotten into recovery during a restart which made me wonder if entering a recovery during boot and reversing the upgrade was possible if all else fails...

my Dell Latitude E6520 laptop, I can open command prompt (Normal and Admin), but can not close any of the CMD windows I open unless I go through the Task Manager and shut them down. I do not have that issue on my desktop, which is also running Windows 10 Pro. The laptop is the only Windows 10 device I've run across that has this issue. It is just incredibly aggrivating that I have to go through the Task Manager just to close the cmd windows
View 2 RepliesI have been unable to find a reference to describe all of the current commands supported by the Windows 10 Command Prompt. Is there someplace that this exists?
When trying to recover from a system crash the old commands to create a bootable hard drive to restore to are not there as far as I can tell, I found the DiskPart command and all of the supported commands for that on line but am struggling to understand what all is in the new Command Prompt.
So I attempted to remove the stupid passwords using the "Run" app and entering "netplwiz". I somehow managed to instead remove my admin options and the password is still in effect... I attempted to go back to the "Run" app but when it asks if I would like this app to make changes to my computer, the only option is "No". Yes is grayed out and there is no place to put a password.
I also tried the Command Prompt. I right click and choose "Run as Admin", it again asks if I would like to make changes and the only option is "No". So I tried typing "net user administrator /active:yes" I get access denied system error 5.
I have tried logging out of the current account, but it looks like the current account is the only account on the computer. I can't even run my virus protection because it asks to make changes to the computer and "No" is the only option. I tried Windows support but they referred me to technical support and the wait is over 3 hours.
For some reason I cannot open the command prompt in Windows 10. I could before, but for some reason this morning I could not.

Can you delete wake timers from the command prompt? I am thinking specifically of wake timers created by Update Orchestrator, which cannot be permanently disabled no matter how many settings you alter (and believe me, I have spent hours and days trying to permanently stop my machine being woken from sleep by this nonsense).
At the moment all I can do is run powercfg -waketimers from an admin prompt before every time I put the machine to sleep, and if I spot a wake timer I then have to rummage around in the task scheduler to find the offending timer and turn off waking yet again for the zillionth time. Ideally I would like to automate this so I can just put the machine to sleep at the touch of a button as if I were dealing with a user-friendly operating system.
