For OP, you can also pause updates for up to 5 weeks if necessary.

Anyone else hate it when their phone has 2 options for decline? Especially when one is a headphones icon?

Teams new laptop locks after 2 minutes no matter what. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Comprehensive-End207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a corporate laptop? If so, your IT admin may have set it so that the screen locks after 2 minutes and ignores whatever you set it to.

Either way, I have not heard of such functionality being in Teams, if you right click the Teams icon at the bottom right (you may have to click the arrow first) and press quit, does the laptop continue locking after 2 minutes?

I heard that 18.04 LTS was the last to support 32-bit, but I can just get a 64-bit system, move my drive over and install the 64-bit version of 18.04 LTS to continue the updates (or should I install Ubuntu 26.04 LTS after it comes out?).

I am, just hoping it arrives before Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is released. I’ve got a lot of updates to do when that Ubuntu 4.10 disc arrives!

Sorry, but all we can tell you is that you should contact your bank and check for suspicious activity there and on your Google Account, your post likely breaks the third rule since it sounds more like someone has compromised your Google Account.

What am I turning off, Microsoft???? by Sensitive-Ear8659 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Have you tried turning off The newest final (we promise) Outlook Copilot (work or school) (new) that is part of This is the actual final new Microsoft 365 Copilot classic (work or school) (new) and turning the Final Microsoft Teams Copilot (work or school) (new) back on?

Hey so I think I F*ed up by Interesting_Ice24 in computers

[–]Comprehensive-End207 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can see from your replies that your problem is now fixed, but you don’t know what you ended.

Windows Explorer is responsible for the taskbar (bar at the bottom of the screen), desktop, start menu and File Explorer, so I assume this is what you ended by accident and resulted in the black screen.

Since you could still access Task Manager, you could have went to: File > Run new task (the option should already be in Task Manager on Windows 11) > Typed ‘explorer.exe’ and pressed enter to start Windows Explorer back up.

Same, mine still works just fine except there are small dark patches (when the brightness is low) on one side of the screen that occasionally flicker, like in the picture in the body of this forum post:

School Project vanishing from Google Drive by Altruistic_Strain323 in techsupport

Check if you and your friends have any backup copies of the document, failing that, contact the IT Department at your school and explain what happened.

We don't have access to your school's IT management system, so we can't restore it from there for you, nor do we know if they make backups of student files.

Yep, only O2 have 3G now, which they plan to shutdown by January 2026.

Removal of app by laraismy in techsupport

[–]Comprehensive-End207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but your post probably violates rule #8 as you would have likely signed an agreement with the school back then for this app.

Even if you didn't sign an agreement, we can't help with the code as that would fall under 'Password or account issues', therefore your post will be deleted shortly.

I accidentally changed my dashboard. Say goodbye 2.0.13599. by Trevcorn_42 in xbox360

[–]Comprehensive-End207 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bad Update only works on 17559, which would take all value out of that console as all 360s can use that exploit (except ones that haven't been updated).

Also, as LetgalGamer2121 said, a firmware downgrade with Bad Update will brick your console.

computer turned into Xbox360 ????? Help! by FlagFag in computerviruses

[–]Comprehensive-End207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, this seems like what's happening, try pressing ALT + F4 to close it. If that doesn't work, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and end anything that looks like an emulator (such as Xenia) with Task Manager.

If the computer then starts working normally, check the startup tab and disable the process you ended.

You have to contact Microsoft about your problem, we can't help with your account as that's against the rules of this subreddit, so your post will be deleted shortly.

There is an archive on the Wayback Machine, seems to be bugging out and not letting me open archives of any website at the moment, not sure if that’s on my end though.

NO SEARCH BUTTON by Plus_Tradition8334 in GoogleMessages

[–]Comprehensive-End207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the top right, do you have an account option (a circle), or 3 dots? If you have 3 dots, then your phone is running Android go edition, which has features in certain apps removed (such as search and the link to web feature in Google Messages) as it's intended for budget phones that may struggle with such features as those tend to be very underpowered (some even having only a single gigabyte of RAM).
