    Windows Defender Remove something On Every Startup

    Definitely hard to diagnose. Run a secondary tool like Malwarebytes (or similar). If that doesn't work it will be a start up item. Check MSConfig.exe

    You can also find where you saved the *.txt files to and move it to the flash drive.

    Need back my windows

    Try taking the drive to a different system and see if a data recovery application will work. If you're asking if it can be restored EaseUS is a common option for data recovery. Haven't kept up on the best recovery software, so I'm assuming others may be able to provide their picks.

    my cursor froze then Windows updates started, when finished my cursor was gone

    You can try the removal of that update but I doubt that is the underlying issue. The link below directs you to input the service code (5697047377). You can try running the scan but it'll probably detect problems with the OS. www.dell.com/support/home/ca/en/cadhs1/products/ This is the direct...

    my cursor froze then Windows updates started, when finished my cursor was gone

    Your recent update to Windows was forced to install different drivers because the internal hardware is deemed not compatible from Dell (more than likely). You'll have to go to Dell's homepage, select Support and search up your model. Likely you'll find a list of software drivers for the computer...

    How can I get my desktop dell to work better.??

    Details of the system helps. Remove any applications that are unused or not reliant on other applications. Clean up the system. If you use an app like CCleaner watch what you actually clean. If using an SSD, ignore things like Disk Defragmentation.

    Is my computer having a hardware or software issue?

    You should take note of the errors that come up. Each error has its own error code that can help direct to the right answer. That being said, I'd probably say HDD or something in the boot of the OS.

    Can Graamarly be added to Windows 10 Mail and Calander?

    Never found the add-on you had mentioned. I have found an add-on called "Grammarly" though. The applicaton is specific for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

    Can I run W10S on a Surface Pro 3 & 4?

    Surface Pro will come with Windows 10 Pro as it was listed on the Surface Specs page from Microsoft.

    Is Windows 10S a good deal?

    The hard part is Store Apps. Eventually the Store will grow, but it's still a long way off.

    Usefulness $999 laptop without usb-C?

    Re: Useless $999 laptop without usb-C? My new phone has Type-C. It may not be needed but it is a new standard that should not be ignored.

    What are you doing without USB-C?

    Re: What are you doing without usb-C? I have a Type-C port on my Pixel. Beyond that given time things will start to use Type-C over what most people are familiar with. Such is evolution. There'll probably be a new one out, as well

    Microsoft Mobile Rumors

    They are going to continue to work on it. But they aren't dropping from the cellular market anytime soon. The next release will probably come after Store growth occurs through Windows 10. Apps are what limit sales really.

    Dropping support for Silverlight apps

    You'll see more development. Microsoft has been pushing corporations into getting their involvement in the Windows 10 Store.

    Will 'W10 S' users downgrade their OS?

    I can see Microsoft pushing the option. This would force people into using the Windows Store.
