Browsers/Mail :: Windows 8.1 Upgrade - Disable Browsing History From Being Sent To Microsoft

Dec 22, 2013

I have just upgraded Windows 8 on my Surface Pro to Windows 8.1 and quickly seen an option to enable/disable browsing history to be sent to Microsoft on one of the initial custom Settings pages which launch straight after an upgrade. I regret not have disabled this option as I don't want to have my browsing history be sent to them.

I have spent an hour Googling how this option can be disabled on Windows 8.1 with no luck and due to a lack of screenshots of the custom settings menu online, I cannot quote the exact wording of the checkbox option.

How to disable your browsing history in Windows 8.1 or 8 from being sent to Microsoft.

Browsers/Mail :: Multiple Errors When Normally Browsing - JPG / SSL

May 27, 2014

Last night I started having problems using the internet on this computer. YouTube will stop playing. (I have a 30/5mbit connection) Pages that require SSL will give an error in opera or will just display completely blank in Firefox. Downloads do not complete or are corrupted when they finish ten minutes later for small files. I tried to download Firefox six different times to see if it was Opera before I gave up and used a USB drive to get it from my laptop. Also, most interestingly, JPG images become corrupted. There are some screenshots down lower.

-speedtest.net comes back at appropriate speed
-SSL test comes back passed every time
-SSL not disabled in either browser
-pages that have a load process like gmail never finish
-uploads fail - like the images here took multiple tries and the JPG corruption screenshot never uploaded. After I posted this it showed up.
-my PC is hardwired into the router, but the laptop and all smart phones can use the internet flawlessly

I keep Avast up to date and comes back clean after a scan. I use the windows firewall but windows defender is disabled. Browsers are on the exception list here. All drivers are up to date. There has been no recent driver installs or new programs downloaded. I also know what type of sites will get me spyware or malware, I have plugins on my browsers, and I am the only user of this PC.

Windows 8 Save Browsing History After Resetting?

Nov 13, 2013

So I reset my pc to factory setting and everything went good but when starting either internet explorer or google chrome it seems like they saved my browsing history.

I used the same email account that I used before the resetting.

Is that good? or my pc wasnt resetted at all and there are still some files that weren't deleted.

Plus I found some google chrome files that remained in a folder and I click on one of them and it brought me to google chrome official download page.

Browsers/Mail :: Windows 8 Email And Microsoft Account Sign Up

Aug 1, 2013

I am getting a Windows 8 tablet and want to set up Gmail on the Windows 8 mail app. I don't have a Microsoft account.

Should I sign up for a MS account using a Hotmail address, or using my Gmail address? What is the advantage in using a Hotmail address in order to access my Gmail. What are the pros & cons?

I'd like to be able to view/send email but not download it onto my tablet, as I use Live Mail on my main PC and want all my downloaded email on that computer.

Browsers/Mail :: Setting Up Non Microsoft Email Account On Windows 8.1 Home

Jul 9, 2014

I've installed Windows 8.1 Home Premium on my parents laptop and I'm now trying to set up their email account.

It is a non MS account which Windows 8 doesn't seem to allow me to create. I've searched for a solution but they seem to require the Local Group policy to be edited and as far I've researched home premium doesn't include the management function to do so.

Does this mean if you are using Windows 8.1 Home Premium you are tied to using a MS mail account.

Browsers/Mail :: Firefox And YouTube - Viewing History Doesn't Show Any Videos

Aug 25, 2014

Download from a site, like a picture or media file (music, etc.), it downloads it fully, but it still says it is still downloading even when you can see the current state such as 40.7MB out of 40.7MB completed only certain sites do this, but others don't So something is off here, and since I got this from FB and another site or more, Firefox might be having a bug issue. I tried a resetting Firefox, but it didn't do anything. Another issue that might be Firefox-related is Youtube. In this case, the viewing history doesn't show any videos. I thought it was a site issue. It could be, but it's still the case now. Since I mentioned one issue, might as well mention this one too.

Browsers/Mail :: Establishing A Microsoft Account In 8.1?

Jun 26, 2014

I'm considering an 8.1 system, but I see that I have to establish a Windows Live Account for the OS to function properly. Here's my dilemma - If I use the native Windows 8.1 Mail Client, will my email be local (on my HDD/SSD) (which is what I want) or in the cloud - just want to be sure before I make any decision.

Do I have the option as to where I would like my email store? i.e. HDD/SSD and/or Cloud?

Browsers/Mail :: Using Microsoft Email Account To Login

Jan 2, 2014

During the night my windows desktop with Windows 8.1 pre-release was update to Windows 8.1 release.

Of course it deleted my Favorites in IE & updated to IE11. It also deleted all my contacts in Mail.

However when I logged into my other desktop using my MS account, it updated IE Favorites & Mail contacts to 0.

I had this info on my portable & put this info on a thumb drive. There is no way to import or export this info into IE11 or Mail.

Is there something I missed on this procedure?

I was under the impression that I had control of my computer & not MS!

Browsers/Mail :: Web Browsers Won't Load Pages After 8.1 Upgrade

Jun 17, 2014

Kept ignoring prompts to upgrade to 8.1. Finally went ahead and did it and now neither IE or Chrome will load web pages. The programs themselves open but nothing happens. Not even a "can't load page" message. I am connected to the internet and I tried a few apps that seemed to work as normal. I've found this question online and followed a few instructions that didn't work. One worked for a minute but it went back. I'm not super tech savvy so I don't even know what it did, just followed some command prompts. I contacted Samsung support and they had me turn off IE under "turn windows features on or off" and turn it back on. It worked. For about two minutes. Now nothing again.

Browsers/Mail :: Internet Explorer Favorites Saved On Microsoft Account

Jun 22, 2014

I recently switched from a local account to a MS account & noticed that it brought in my saved favorites (from the last time I had a MS acct using Win 8), which caused some duplicates.

While I was going thru & deleting the duplicates, I accidently deleted some of my favorites. What I am trying to do is see if there is a way to look at the IE favorites saved to my MS account & then re add the missing ones back really quick.

Browsers/Mail :: Live Tile Not Working After Windows 8.1 Upgrade

Oct 19, 2013

I have upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After doing so and making sure my accounts are all setup, I have found that I can not get the mail tile to act "live". I have verified it is set to live by right-clicking and seeing that link state "turn live tile off". I tried doing that and then turning it back on. I have tried rebooting. But the tile just isn't live. My other live tiles (news, finance, weather, store, etc) all seem to be live. It is only mail that I am having a problem with.

Browsers/Mail :: Outlook 2010 Not Working Properly Since Upgrade To Windows

Nov 13, 2012

Since upgrading to Windows 8 (from 7) a week ago my Outlook 2010 email has been faulty. It keeps stopping emails coming in or out and I have to (daily) run a 'repair' to get it to work. I contacted my ISP (Virgin) and they said that Outlook doesn't work with Windows 8 and said I should use Live. However, I then added my accounts to Live but it wouldn't accept all of them, and I found the interface very hard to use. Outlook contains all my business folders and email records for my business so I need it to work. It seems to accept my IMAP email account but not the main accounts with my ISP.

My HP desktop machine is less than a year old and has plenty of memory. But also, in general the machine is slower and won't restart (I have to force shut down).

Browsers/Mail :: Upgrade From Windows 8 To 8.1 - Web Pages And Emails Loading Gets Slow

Nov 30, 2013

After upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, Internet pages and emails load slowly. After reporting this to a 2nd level MS Support person, he still hasn't fixed it though he has spent a lot of time on it so far. I finally Googled about the issue and found that many others were having the same problem. I have heard that disabling IPv6 has corrected the problem. I tried it but I couldn't do the last step to create a new DWord. After upgrading, I installed the latest drivers for the motherboard.t's about like the days of dial-up modems! Why can't Microsoft resolve this issue soon? I have checked my Internet connection for "speed" and it's not the problem. The only thing I changed was the OS.
