    Windows 10 desktop won't start, can't get into RE

    Husband figured it out - it was the video card, apparently it somehow burned out? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

    Windows 10 desktop won't start, can't get into RE

    Apologies in advance. I don't use this computer much so I don't know much about it. It's an Asus desktop, we've had it a couple years. It's running Windows 10. My daughter was playing a game on it, and suddenly the screen went funny (light gray and a bunch of what looked like tiny circles). I...

    Why can't I see attachments in Windows 10 Mail app?

    Fair enough, haha. It's just that one of the things I enjoy about using Windows is being able to have the same experience between mobile and PC. I use the Mail app on my phone and I wanted to use it on my laptop too. But again, no real reason to use it on my PC, webmail works perfectly well, no...

    Why can't I see attachments in Windows 10 Mail app?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had "Apply to all accounts" checked, but I unchecked it and selected "Gmail" from the drop-down menu. Unfortunately that didn't do the trick. Still no attachments showing. Thanks anyway. I might just have to give up and go back to using webmail. I'm not...

    Why can't I see attachments in Windows 10 Mail app?

    I have an HP Pavilion x360, recently upgraded to Windows 10 Creators Update. I wasn't using the Mail app before the upgrade, but since other Windows 10 apps were working so well I decided to give it another chance. I've enjoyed it until I realized that I couldn't see attachments. No paper...

    Cortana is dead. Or at least, not responding.

    Thank you for this!! I tried signing out of Windows and signing back in, and that did the trick!

    Cortana is dead. Or at least, not responding.

    I actually visited this forum for the first time in a while because I'm having the exact same problem! Cortana is doing absolutely nothing on my PC. On my phone, all is well. This is quite disturbing to me -- first I quit receiving text messages on my PC (which I heard that Microsoft did on...

    Why is the message "this app can't run on this PC" appearing at startup?

    Oh, now there's a thought. I'll give that a try the next time I start up. Thanks!

    Why is the message "this app can't run on this PC" appearing at startup?

    Well, it was a great suggestion that made a lot of sense. Unfortunately, it ultimately didn't help. I disabled every start-up process one at a time and restarted, but no matter which one I disabled, I still got that confounded message. I have a bad feeling that the only way I could wipe this...

    Why is the message "this app can't run on this PC" appearing at startup?

    Well, I decided to try uninstalling Avast. Unfortunately, I'm still getting that message on startup. (At least Windows Defender is running now... when I first restarted my computer I couldn't get it to run, and I was panicking a little!) So anyway, any other ideas?

    Why is the message "this app can't run on this PC" appearing at startup?

    Hi there! I'm the one who posted this question. Thanks so much for your reply. I do have Avast, and I ran what I thought was a compatibility troubleshooter to fix the problem. I restarted my computer, and I still got the same message popping up. So operating on the assumption that the...
