Mike doesn't want to use a password
I just reset my computer and I don't want to use a PIN or password to sign in. Can you tell me how to bypass PINs and Passwords in Windows 10 and 11? I'm the only one who uses this computer.

Our answer
Hi Mike. Windows 10  and 11 require a  PIN (or password). Unless you want to create a local account (not easy and local accounts lack some features) you'll have to use a PIN, password, or biometric sign-in. We recommend you set up a 4-digit PIN. PINs are easier to remember than passwords and offer some protection. Our feelings are that you should always use at least a PIN. Even if no one else but you can access your PC malware and bots can access an unprotected computer. If you have an administrator account on your Windows 10 (or 11) PC and remove the password, you potentially give enhanced access to any malicious apps running on your device. Setting up a PIN is easy and does not require a username every time you log in.

However,  if you're still interested in no password (sign-in) protection for your account without creating a local account take a look at Autologon by Microsoft Sysinternals. Once you set it up, as its name suggests, it will automatically log you in.

Sarah wants to set up a Gmail account in Microsoft Outlook
I need your help. I want to set up my Gmail in Outlook. Can you show me how to do this? Thank you very much, Sarah.

Our answer
Hi Sarah. We don't know what version of Outlook you have. If you have the current or recent version you can set up new email accounts (including Gmail) this way...

Click "File" at the top.

Then click "Info".

Under "Account Information", look for "Account Settings".

When you click Account Settings you will see several items appear... the one you want is at the top.

It says "Add or remove accounts or change existing connection settings".

Cloudeight InfoAve

Click on Account Settings in the drop-down (it is the first one).

The Email accounts dialog will open. Click on Email then "New".

Cloudeight InfoAve

Once you click on New > Email the following dialog will appear. Just type in the email address you want to set up. And click "Connect'.

Cloudeight InfoAve

After you click Connect you'll be asked to type in your email account password. After you enter your password click "Sign in".

Cloudeight InfoAve

Note that if you are setting up a Gmail account when you click "Connect" a Google sign-in page will appear where you'll need to enter your username and password which will then be passed to Outlook.

Outlook can automatically configure Gmail, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Yahoo.com, and others so you don't have to do anything with server settings, etc. Outlook automatically sets up email accounts as IMAP. IMAP is how all accounts should be set up.

If necessary, you can change existing accounts this way too.

We hope this helps you, Sarah.

David said Microsoft prevented him from changing PDF viewers and found a fix online

High TC. Recently I had to reset my Windows 11 PC (all attempts to repair same failed).  I installed all apps from previous in particular Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The resultant PDF viewer was taken over by Microsoft Edge.  No matter what I did I could not change the default from Edge to Acrobat. After Googling... I found the fix. I was going to attach the file I created on how to do it but couldn't find a means in this post, so I have copied the procedure below.  You might be aware of the fix or you may wish to include it in your next newsletter. Just thought you might be interested.....

HOW TO FIX MICROSOFT EDGE KEEPING ITSELF AS THE DEFAULT PDF VIEWER

Microsoft has quietly introduced the User Choice Protection Driver (UCPD) service, which is enabled and running by default. This service blocks third-party apps from accessing the User Choice registry keys to prevent unauthorized changes to the default app settings established by users.

Here are the steps to disable UCPD:

(content removed by Cloudeight)
Cheers, David from Oz.
 
Our Answer
Hi David. Whatever article you're quoting from begins with a false statement. UCPD (Windows 10 and Windows 11) does not prevent users from making manual changes to program defaults. UCPD only restricts changes by apps/programs; you can still manually set your defaults through Windows settings unless your computer is in S mode or Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings is set to "install programs from the Microsoft Store only..."
 
We would never recommend installing Adobe Acrobat Reader in the first place (it often comes bundled with McAfee products). I have never had problems switching PDF viewers in Windows 11. I've used Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. My current PDF viewer is Firefox.  And I can easily switch to Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, or any other PDF-capable reader.
 
 
 
If you use Settings > Apps > Default apps "Set a default for a file type or link type" and type in .pdf  you can choose whatever PDF program you want. I've done this on both of my Windows 11 computers and I've helped several people change their PDF viewer as well.
 
I appreciate the tip but I have never encountered a situation where I was unable to change a browser or PDF reader. And we don't recommend writing scripts or making registry edits that aren't required. It's easy to switch your default PDF viewer in Windows 11 just by using the correct Settings feature.

Larry wants to know if Unchecky is still safe
Is Unchecky still safe and reliable? I'm thinking about putting it on my new Win11 laptop.  I value your advice...Larry

Our answer
Hi Larry. Unchecky is still a decent program; whether it is needed or not depends on how careful and discerning you are when installing software. Using Common sense, only installing software directly from the developers' website, or trusted download sites like SnapFiles (https://snapfiles.com/ ) or MajorGeeks (https://majorgeeks.com/), and being careful when you install software, especially freeware or trialware is the way to avoid getting installing unwanted software bundled with the freeware or trialware you downloaded.

In the past, some versions of Unchecky have come bundled with unwanted software during its installation - most of these were bundled by 3rd-party questionable download sites such as Softonic - and not by the developer. If you decide you need Unchecky, we recommend you download it directly from the Unchecky website (https://unchecky.com/) or SnapFiles (https://www.snapfiles.com/get/unchecky.html).
 
I hope this helps you make a wise decision, Larry.

Tim wants to know why One-time access codes are not a one-time thing
I have a problem accessing my online checking account. I have a problem with those "One-time access codes" that are not "one-time". Since the last computer update the "One-time access" doesn't work anymore. I have to do it every time I try to log in. The people at the bank told me that something has changed the browser history setting and I need to change it back so it remembers my browser history. I don't know how to do that. Could you help? Thank you!

Our answer
Hi Tim. As the name implies, a one-time access code is good to use only once. You can't reuse a one-time access code. So, each time you log into your online checking you'll need a new one-time access code. That's how most banks and government sites (IRS, Social Security, etc.) work. This is for your protection and is usually referred to as two-factor authentication.

One time does not mean you only need to have one code and use it all the time. It means - it's good for one use only. Some banks offer a choice of one-time access code (meaning one access code for each log-in) or require you to answer a security question that only you would know, such as "What is the name of your first pet?" or "In what city did you attend high school?". You'll have to check with your bank to see if they offer alternatives to one-time access codes.

Remember, to increase your security, you have to give up some convenience. In any case, this is not a problem with your computer.

We hope this helps you, Tim.

Andrea asks if there is a way to make Windows 11 look like Windows 10
Do you offer a service to make Windows 11 look like Windows 10?  Or is there an easy way to do it? Thanks!

Our answer
Hi Andrea. We are not offering a service to make Windows 11 look like Windows 10. One reason is that Windows 11 is a bit less confusing than Windows 10 was for most users when upgrading from Windows 7.

While we are big proponents of learning new ways of doing things we do understand that changing operating systems can be confusing and stressful for many folks.

We wrote an article showing how anyone can make Windows 11 look more like Windows 10 or Windows 7 for less than $5.00. If you're interested see our article here.

We hope this helps you, Andrea.

Michelle wants to know how to clear browsing history in Microsoft Edge
I recently started using the Microsoft Edge browser and I really like it. But I don't know how to clear the browsing history. Before using Edge I used Google Chrome. How do I clear the browsing history in Edge? Thanks so much! Michelle.

Our answer
Hi Michelle. Thanks! It's very easy to clear browsing history in Microsoft Edge. Here's how:

1. Open Edge
2. Press Ctrl + H (or type edge://history/all in the address bar)
3. At the bottom of the menu on the left click "Clear browsing data"

That's all there is to it, Michelle.

Cloudeight InfoAve Premium -Tips & Tricks

A Fast Way to Close Windows Explorer (and why you might want to)
Windows 10, and Windows 11

First -- why would you want to close Windows Explorer? Well, there are several reasons, but the two main reasons why most of you would want to do it are:

1. The start button or some other Windows feature stops working.

2. Your computer suddenly starts running poorly and seems non-responsive at times. You can try closing Windows Explorer and restarting it. Sometimes this works similarly to a reboot.

The fastest way to end the Windows Explorer process is this:

Hold down the Ctrl, Shift and Esc keys to bring up Task Manager. Find "Windows Explorer" in the list (it should be under Windows process), right-click it, and choose "Restart". When you end or restart the Windows Explorer process it also terminates the Desktop shell and you'll notice that all your desktop and taskbar icons disappear. If you see more than one Windows Explorer process end them all. No worries!

Cloudeight InfoAve/
Above: Windows 10 Task Manager

Cloudeight InfoAve

If you choose "Restart" all your desktop and taskbar icons will disappear temporarily. They'll load back up on their own. If you choose "End Task" you have more to do. Assuming Task Manager is still open, click File ---> Run ---> and type in Explorer.exe in the Run dialog then press Enter. Your desktop and taskbar icons will reappear as Explorer is restarted, and hopefully, your system will be refreshed and things will work correctly for you. If not, you can still have the option to restart your computer.

Cloudeight InfoAve

Cloudeight InfoAve

This is a good tip to remember if your computer seems sluggish, the Start menu, or Windows features aren't working right. It's always smart to try this first before you resort to restarting. This tip could save you some downtime and frustration.

Declutter Your Windows Taskbar
Windows 10 and Windows 11

As promised, we’re going to continue to update our Windows 10 tips for Windows 11 users and continue to write new tips for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 too. So, whether you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11 we have you covered.

Now let’s get on with today’s tip – Taskbar real estate…

For some reason, Microsoft thinks it knows what you want on your Taskbar. But does it? NO! It doesn’t. The Windows Taskbar is a great place to put the shortcuts for the apps you use most because when you put those shortcuts on your Taskbar you save time. But if you have a large search bar, Cortana, Task View, People, or Onscreen keyboard icons taking up space on your Taskbar, you have less space available to put shortcuts to the apps you use most on your Taskbar.  Windows 11 adds other (for most people) useless icons like “Chat” and “Task view”.

So let’s increase the amount of Taskbar space you have to work with. If you’re using Windows 10, jump over to this page for our tutorial on declutterizing your Windows 10 Taskbar.

Maximize the Taskbar Space on Windows 11

First of all, while it’s easy to move the Windows 11 Taskbar so it’s aligned to the left like all Windows versions before it, I’ve come to like having it center aligned. But I still don’t like the default clutter. At least in Windows 11, Microsoft removed the Cortana icon, the big search box, and the People icon that were displayed by default on Windows 10. But then they went and spoiled it all by putting a “Chat” icon (trying to convert Zoom users to Microsoft Teams) and a Widgets icon that I never use (and you probably don’t either)

Step #1: Declutterizing the Windows 11 Taskbar

Right-click on an empty space on your Windows 11 Taskbar, and click “Taskbar settings”. The “Personalization > Taskbar”  page will open. At the top, you’ll see the “Taskbar items” settings. All you need to do is turn the switches off next to the items you don’t want cluttering up your taskbar. Below, you can see I’ve turned off everything other than the search icon. I could even turn that off since clicking the Start button opens the Start menu with a search box at the top. But I’m lazy, so the search box stays.

Of course, all these are personal choices. You might like Widgets or Microsoft Teams, in which case you’ll need to leave Widgets and/or Chat on. But Task view? Do you ever use it?

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

Step #2: Declutterizing the Windows 11 Taskbar

The next section on the Personalization  > Taskbar page is the “Taskbar corner icons” section.  This section allows you to turn off icons that are displayed near the right edge of the taskbar (near the clock). If you don’t use the Pen menu, Touch keyboard, or Virtual touchpad? Turn them off. For most users, these are off by default.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

Step #3: Declutterizing the Windows 11 Taskbar

The next section is called “Taskbar corner overflow”. The icons for these apps will either be hidden or displayed near the right edge of the Taskbar near the clock. To expand “Taskbar corner overflow” click the down arrow.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

When expanded, you’ll see switches next to some of the apps you have installed. Some of these apps (but not all) are apps you have starting with Windows.  If the switches next to the items in the Taskbar corner overflow menu are turned off, they will not be displayed in the right corner of the Taskbar.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

More ways to customize the Windows 11 taskbar

The final section of the Settings >Personalization>Taskbar is called “Taskbar behaviors’. In this section, you can align your taskbar from Center to Left or from Left to Center.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

Click the down arrow to expand Taskbar behaviors. You can align your Taskbar to the left or back to the Windows 11 default “Center”.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

You can also choose to “Automatically hide the taskbar” or show “Badges (unread message counter)” on taskbar apps.

If you have multiple displays, you can choose to show the taskbar on all displays.

You can also choose to share any window from your taskbar as well as enable the far right edge of your taskbar to take to the desktop when you click it. You can also go directly to the desktop by using the Windows key + D shortcut. Pressing the Windows key + D combo again will take you back to where you were working.

Taskbar settings in Windows 11 - Cloudeight

The proof is in the pudding, so they say. Here is my Windows 11 Taskbar.  You can see I have a lot of Taskbar real estate left to add more shortcuts should I need to do so.

WiFi Range Extenders – The Easy and Inexpensive Way to Extend Your WiFi’s Range
Everyone using internet-connected devices

A WiFi range extender (also called a  WiFi Extender, a range extender, a repeater, or a WiFi booster) is a device that repeats the wireless signal from your router and expands its coverage. It captures the signal from your router and re-broadcasts it to improve the WiFi coverage area which can improve the signal in areas of your house or apartment where the WiFi signal is weak or non-existent.

If you have places in your house or apartment where the WiFi signal is poor or have dead spots where you don’t have any WiFi signal, and moving your router/modem to a more central location is not an option, a WiFi Range Extender is an inexpensive solution. It can expand the range of your current router and eliminate areas of your home where the WiFi signal is weak. A WiFi range extender won’t increase the Internet speed you’re getting from your router, but it can extend its range and reduce or eliminate dead spots or areas where the wireless signal is weak.

A WiFi extender usually costs a great deal less than a new router. But they can be pricey if you’re not careful So don’t buy the most expensive WiFi extender thinking it will give you better coverage. Buy a WiFi extender that best matches your router’s capabilities. Don’t spend money on a WiFi Extender with features your router doesn’t have. Linksys, a leading network equipment manufacturer including routers and range extenders, recommends choosing a WiFi Extender (WiFi Booster) that best matches your router’s capabilities. According to Linksys:

“…though a WiFi booster will still function with a wireless router that has a different network speed, it won’t improve or ‘up-convert’ your existing router’s capabilities, so don’t purchase a fancy extender with features that aren’t compatible with your older router equipment. Similarly, if your existing router is capable of handling higher frequencies, don’t skimp with an extender that has limited WiFi standards…”

There are 2 types of WiFi extenders, desktop and plug-in. Desktop WiFi extenders, look much like a small router. They take up more space than a plug-in extender and are a little bit harder to set up, but they may offer more features than plug-in WiFi extenders.

Plug-in WiFi extenders are very easy to set up. They plug into an electrical socket and usually have lights to help you find the best placement. Once in place, you can usually connect a plug-in router to the network by pushing a button.

Above and below: Plug-in WiFi Range Extenders.

Cloudeight InfoAve Plug-in WiFi Range Extender

Below: Typical set-up instructions for plug-in WiFi Range Extenders.

Cloudeight InfoAve Plugin WiFi Range Extenders

WiFi extenders offer an inexpensive solution if you have areas where your WiFi coverage is weak or non-existent moving your router to a more central location is not an option and you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a new router or a mesh router system. You can buy a decent WiFi extender for less than $50.  They’re available at BestBuy, Walmart, Amazon, and most stores where computers and computer equipment are sold.

You can buy range extenders for as little as $25 or you can spend hundreds. But use common sense and determine what you need.

Here’s a TP-Link | AC1200 WiFi Range Extender | Up to 1200Mbps | WiFi Extender, Repeater, WiFi Signal Booster | One Mesh | Easy Set-Up | Compact Designed Internet Booster (RE300) From Amazon (about $35).

Here’s an off-brand (Jancane) WiFi Extender Signal Booster – Up to 5000sq.ft and 52 Devices, WiFi Range Extender, Wireless Internet Repeater, Long Range Amplifier with Ethernet Port, 1-Key Setup … from Amazon for about $17.

Extending your WiFi network’s range with a range extender is easy and inexpensive.

Now you know what a WiFi extender (also known as a WiFi range extender, WiFi repeater, or WiFi booster) is and what it does.

WhistleOut: Your Guide to Phone & Internet Plans (But Read the Fine Print)

WhistleOut.com has become a popular resource for navigating the complex world of phone and internet plans. Their tagline claims: “We compare 40 phone and 33 internet companies, so you don’t have to.”

 Let’s explore what WhistleOut offers and some things to consider when using it:

WhistleOut -The Good

  • Comprehensive Plan Comparison: WhistleOut excels at presenting a side-by-side comparison of phone plans and internet plans from major providers. You can filter and compare options based on factors like data allowance, talk time, text messages, internet speeds, price, and even contract length. This makes it easy to identify plans that fit your specific needs and budget.

  • Deals and Promotions: WhistleOut keeps you updated on ongoing deals and promotions for both phone and internet plans. This can help you find hidden and limited-time discounts and special packages that might not be advertised by the providers themselves.

  • User-Friendly Interface: The website is generally well-organized and easy to navigate. You can search by provider, desired features (unlimited data, specific internet speeds), or even by location (helpful for finding local internet service providers).

  • Easy to use: Just  type in your street address, city and state and let WhistleOut compare phone and internet plans available in your area/

WhistleOut – The Facts

  • Focus on Introductory Prices: Similar to phone plans, WhistleOut often prominently displays introductory prices for internet plans, which can be lower than the ongoing monthly cost. Be sure to read the fine print so you understand the full price structure after the introductory period ends, including potential equipment rental fees or data overage charges.

  • Limited Plan Details: While WhistleOut provides a good overview, it does not always delve into all the specific details of each plan, such as data throttling policies, equipment usage restrictions, or contract termination fees for internet plans. We recommended visiting the provider’s website for the complete terms and conditions before making a final decision.

  • Availability Limited to North America: WhistleOut’s content and functionalities are geared towards North America (USA and Canada). Their website does not indicate specific support for other countries or regions.

  • Potential Bias: WhistleOut generates revenue through affiliate marketing so some plans might be positioned more prominently than others depending on commission structures. It’s good practice to consider reviews from multiple sources and check directly with providers before finalizing your choice.

WhistleOut – Our Take:

WhistleOut can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to compare phone and internet plans and potentially find good deals. However, it’s important to be aware of the focus on introductory prices, limited plan details, and potential bias. We recommend using WhistleOut as a starting point for your research, however, we encourage you to do your own research by visiting provider websites and consider reviews from other sources to help you make an informed decision.

If you’re looking for a new cell phone or internet service provider, WhistleOut is a good place to start.
