  1. Edge and Maps are using my old address for geolocation but I don't know where to change it


    Edge HTML5 geolocation and the Windows 10 Maps app both use my old address (I moved 18 months ago) on my PC. I have:

    • enabled location
    • set the default location to my new address
    • updated all occurances of my address that I could find in my MSA settings
    • cleared location cache
    • tried different PCs

    I still get my current location as my old address. When I log out I get an incorrect address which is the head office of my ISP. Google Maps has me at the correct location, so does Bing Maps in Chrome, Opera, or Firefox.

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.
