That’s an interesting idea, but I don't see that option anywhere

I'm trying to boost the Wi-Fi coverage in my house. I currently have service through Xfinity.

I'm using a Netgear Nighthawk extender to test the signal.

The weird thing is, when I try to manually select a network, I can see all my neighbors' signals, but mine isn't showing up at all. Any idea what might be causing this?

I’ve got this one program that just won't recognize any special characters.
I can't figure out what's stalling it. It runs perfectly fine on my old laptop.
It works without a hitch on both my old desktop and my newer PC.
But for some reason, it absolutely refuses to work on this new laptop.

All four machines are running Windows 10 in English.
In the Control Panel under Region, the Format is set to English, and the Current language for non-unicode programs : English is also selected.

I ran into a similar headache during those big Windows updates every six months, but I managed to fix that by tweaking the Unicode settings.

The issue isn't actually within the program itself—there aren't any settings to tweak like fonts or Unicode options. The problem is that when I generate a file through the app, the special characters show up as weird symbols, yet when I open that exact same file on my other devices, everything looks totally normal.

Any bright ideas?

You could also try booting up in Safe Mode. Or maybe try logging in as a different user if there's one available.

Are you looking to back up your data to a drive, or are you trying to recover files that were lost? Let me know what's going on so I can help!

Hey there! How’s it going?

It’s totally possible there’s an issue with the update. There are really only two ways to play this. You can either wait out that black screen with the mouse cursor—it took one of my buddies about 20 minutes before everything finally snapped back to normal. I wouldn't exactly recommend it, but you could also try a hard restart. Just be prepared that you might have to do it a few times if it gets stuck in the same loop!

Man, those updates this past week have been rough. It could easily be a glitch, unless you’ve picked up some kind of virus or malware along the way.

That's an interesting question. I'm honestly a little worried, and I think it might just come down to how much goodwill the doctor has

I haven't run into that specific issue myself, but if I were you, I'd try booting up in Safe Mode. It might just be a glitch within Windows itself. Luckily, Win10 is pretty solid 🙂

So, I have both a foreign currency account and a standard checking account over at JPMorgan Chase. I need to move a specific amount from one to the other, but I'm not quite sure of the steps.
I'm assuming I just need to set up a single transfer, but I'm stuck on which transaction type to select.
Hopefully, this is something I can easily handle through online banking.
