Unable to download Microsoft Edge consumer installer (OfficeApps Live outage)
I am unable to download the Microsoft Edge consumer installer. All official download links redirect to a “Service Unavailable” page from officeapps.live.com. This happens in every browser and also fails through PowerShell. trying to download the Microsoft Edge consumer installer from the official download link, but the service appears to be unavailable. All attempts — including browser downloads and PowerShell requests — are being redirected to an outage page from officeapps.live.com showing “Service Unavailable”. It appears that the C2R / OfficeApps Live backend is currently down. This prevents me from obtaining the Edge consumer installer that includes EdgeUpdate, COM registration, services, and scheduled tasks. The issue is reproducible across multiple browsers and devices. Please, could you please confirm whether the C2R / OfficeApps Live service is currently experiencing an outage, and provide an alternative method to obtain the full consumer installer? Could someone from Microsoft confirm the outage and provide a working download method , pleaseEDIMicrosoftMay 05, 2026Copper Contributor2Views0likes0CommentsKOBO Arc no longer connects to Win 10
Hoping someone can help with this. Been using this Kobo arc for at least 10 years on this computer with no problems. As of tonight, it no longer connects (last time I connected was only a week ago or so). I see the Arc in the device manager but with a question mark. Information, shows no driver loaded. When I try to update the driver using the update driver dialog, I get message that the MTP USB Device system file was not found. I locate wpdmtp.inf in the Windows/INF folder, but right click/install yields a 'file not found' error. Kobo Arc connects to WIn 11 computer no problem using the same cable. Tried various fixes found on internet, but haven't found anything that works. Nothing else, including other USB periperals, are acting weird or unusual.

Hello all, My Windows PC used to run great, but lately it feels much slower than it did when it was new. Boot time is longer, programs take more time to load, and the whole system just feels less responsive. Looking for advice on how to make a computer run like new again on Windows 10. Open to cleanup tips, maintenance steps, software tools, or hardware upgrades if they would help. Prefer solutions that are safe and not overly complicated. Any recommendations would be appreciated.IzannkiMay 03, 2026Brass Contributor83Views0likes9CommentsCtrl + C and Ctrl + V stopped working
After working perfectly for years usin my Lenovo laptop, now when I try to copy or paste using the keyboard shortcuts they do not work. For instance Ctrl +V ends up simply as "v" not what I was trying to paste. How did this stop working all of a sudden? How can I fix it? For now I have been using Right Click and then choosing the option to cut or paste and that still works. Thank you for your help!

I'm having issues with my webcam not wanting to work with any other programs. I'm just trying to use it for Discord and OBS but whenever I try to get the webcam to display anything, the activity light flickers then turns off. There are no prompts that pop up asking for webcam access. The only program that the webcam works with is the native camera app in Windows 10. I'm suspecting a privacy setting is blocking it but I don't have the ability to change permissions for anything. I've tried reinstalling drivers, restarting, going through privacy settings, disabling webcam protection in my anti virus (I use ESET) and trying to change the registry (although I couldn't make any of the suggested changes). Anyone ever experienced this or am I missing something that's super obvious?t456May 01, 2026Copper Contributor20Views0likes2CommentsFile sync recommendations?
I just have a bunch of HDDs that I mostly don't use. It's mostly media and files (~2TB) I will never modify. I can copy the data, but I won't know when something becomes corrupted. It's not super critical so I'm not investing in 3-2-1 backup philosophy. Basically, I imagine the software mirroring the HDD to another location, and the software also ensures files are identical and flags potential corruption for review, or even just repairs it on the go. Backup solutions with servers confuse me. I don't think sync options like Rsync will do anything to flag corruption. Just hoping for some opinions or recommendations. I'm running Windows 10, but also drive Linux a lot and will be transitioning this PC soon, so Linux and CLI recommendations are also welcome.

I had previously disabled Windows Updates, but the system automatically re-enabled them and forced an update to the latest version. Not only are the interface changes in the new version poor, but there’s also a noticeable bug: regardless of where the mouse cursor is, the right-click menu always pops up to the left. Please help me find a solution.JettStoneApr 30, 2026Iron Contributor46Views0likes1CommentI've installed BM wukong ,Which of the files can i delete?
