Hi to all.

Over this past weekend, my computer was updated as well, and I found that when using Internet Explorer 11 to listen to audio files through any audio players other than Windows Media Player resulted in a question of whether I wanted to download or save the file. I contacted the Microsoft Help Desk for People with Disabilities, and after several attempted adjustments, I was told that Microsoft programmers had updated Internet Explorer 11 to do exactly what it was doing because too many viruses were being introduced to computers using Windows and Internet Explorer through audio players other than Windows Media player. As a result, I have since downloaded (and am now using) Firefox for most of my Internet operations (I looked at Google Chrome but perceived that the learning curve for that browser was much steeper than that for Firefox which utilizes many of Internet Explorer's commands). Anyway, what I was told was that the primary fix that occurred last weekend was to Internet Explorer 11.

Same here on about Friday or Saturday there was an update, but I don’t know to what.  I had always assumed that aniversery had been installed about a month or so ago when it first came out.  I’m wondering if I should take my computer in to get looked at or not.  None of the programs changed in terms of being default or not.

It appears that my computer upgraded to the anniversary version this weekend. When I booted up this morning I found that the edge browser, file explorer and one other app had taken over the first three places on the taskbar. I also found that when I launched The outlook email client it had to reinstall. Everything appears to be functioning well, but something certainly changed over the weekend.


Thx, Albert

Hi all, I have had a strange couple of issues with my computer that is running Windows 10.  It has done some updates in Windows, but I am not sure if it has updated to the aniversery version.  This morning, when I went to open one of my favorites and clicked on it I got a dialogue box that is just like a download one you’d see in Internet Explorer.  After I click open the page opens just fine.  One other strange problem and it only happened once was that when I decided to just open a page I got an alarm and a toll-free number to call through Time Warner because my IP address was blocked.  I am obviously connected now and since then I have been able to open pages and do other things and that is while having the dialog box for downloading open.  My Webroot hasn’t indicated that there is anything wrong either.
