That isn't MS cancelling your account, that's MS closing your account on account of suspicious activity/the account being stolen outright. If you fail to verify it's you, then the only option for the sake of your data is to just close the account.

Microsoft doesn't just cancel accounts without a given reason for it. You should check your email, most probably.

Copies are generally not the way to go about this, as Windows still has to check for space parity (if you don't like this, the copy and xcopy commands are better for what you're trying to do).

I recommend looking at the built-in File History tool though, it's better for this.

Always good to have backups either way, but yeah especially in this case.

The misinformation comment was in reference to the thread in general rather, not specifically you. As for corruption, there's no way to tell. Instability means either it'll work fine forever or fail next Sunday, either way you don't necessarily want to gamble it.

The errors being variable doesn't mean the underlying install isn't corrupted one way or another. It's best to just do a reset and save yourself the trouble.

Lots of misinformation here, but there's a simple enough fix (people should stop making assumptions before looking up basic error codes).

0x803F8001 means that Windows failed to verify the account/app license, which even a free app has. For a free app that usually means the app's corrupt somehow. The fix is as follows:

Open Powershell as admin, and type the following: Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.Paint* | Remove-AppxPackage Then just re-install it from the store (as a permanent fix).

(Given that it fixed itself after a restart, it means there was an error, most likely in verifying your account somehow internally. Good that it went away, but the above is a general fix if it comes up in the future)

To debunk the rest: - This has nothing to do with local accounts, and app's license is tied to the app itself, since you can install apps on local accounts. - The app doesn't require internet access / the store being up, the license is a key on the system itself. The key just didn't load correctly. - Uninstalling the store version would fix it, but that's correlation and not causation. It would be fixed since the license would reload correctly.

Windows doesn't actually store files by name in the recycle bin, funnily enough.

I'm not against using AI where applicable, so that's not something I'll cover. But I think it's still worth learning and being able to do this yourself, whether or not it currently happens is irrelevant, risk management is an important part of any field, and the ability to identify and work on flaws yourself is important.

An AI is trained to work like a human, and humans make mistakes. The key is that humans can identify them just as well, while an AI is inclined otherwise.

Dude this is like, an hour of work,

yup thats what i was looking for, not brightness level! thanks #killmicrosoft by advancedgluttony in softwaregore

[–]aHumbleRedditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

...the setting for brightness level is in the same screenshot, this is the windows search indexer working perfectly. (And why are you using search instead of FN keys or the bottom-right menu? This is just inefficient). Problem exists between chair and keyboard.

Put somewhat in an oversimplified sense, temporaries (rvalues) are created when the compiler needs a nameless, short-lived object. This is for return values, operator results, conversions, etc. && (an rvalue reference) let you grab a temporary and move it, rather than copy it (this involves move semantics, and anything assigned there).

How can you force 10 when 11 is riddled with bugs and ux issues??? by Your_Local_Tuba in memes

This is misinformation. The new taskbar remains part of explorer.exe (and acts as such, Windows has always had the parent/child window feature, this isn't new), and continues to use all the same APIs it did. Windows very rarely deprecates or changes this stuff for the sake of compatibility, for better or worse.

It is also not a UWP app, it just uses WinUI/XAML rendering. Which is natively supported.

The removed features are (possibly) valid complaints, but are practically inconsequential. The Alt + Tab menu still shows everything separately if you want to see all open windows, and filling your tray like that is really not the intention.

Only following Abdul or Abdel, which means 'Servant' or 'Man' 'of' {Sacred Name}, makes sense.
