Issue with "Edit with Paint 3D" Functionality
I have recently encountered an issue with Paint 3D. When I try to edit a picture using Paint 3D by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Edit with Paint 3D," I am unexpectedly prompted to choose an app to open the file instead of Paint 3D launching directly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have any insights on why this might be happening and how to resolve it? Thank you for your assistance! Following was done: Reinstall Paint 3D Open Microsoft Store: Go to the Start menu and open the Microsoft Store. Search for Paint 3D: In the search bar, type "Paint 3D."

System time synchronized with hardware clock
I have two PC, its OS is Windows 8.1 embedded. I don't connect it to internet, set the time zone"(UTC+10:00)Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney", disable daylight time. At 2021-10-4 , I adjusted the time from 10/4/2021 3:23:42 PM to 10/4/2021 4:23:01 PM , but at 2021-10-24, it adjusted the time from 10/24/2021 2:45:32 AM to 10/24/2021 1:45:23 AM itself. I looked up Windows events, it says: "The system time has changed to 2021-10-24T09:45:22.500000000Z from 2021-10-24T10:45:31.235292400Z. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock." 10/24/2021 5:45:22 PM Who can tell me why it happened? Is it because the hardware clock using daylight ? but there is no settings in BIOS to do this. Or when I changed the time at 10/4/2021, it didn't synchronize with the hardware clock , it changed back 20 days later?
Windows Update will not install KB5013942 Version 21H2
For the last month my computer has downloaded Windows 10 update KB 5013942 on a daily basis Version 21H2 for X86 based systems I receive the Message Shutdown and restart to install it. It starts to install then i receive the Message: "We couldn't complete the Updates undoing changes, don't switch off your Computer. This update slows my computer down as it downloads and will not install day in and day out? The other updates have been fine except this? Does anyone know why this happens?
All my wireless networks disappeared, Bluetooth and Wifi, and I did a network reset.
For some reason my networks stopped working, and it happened after an update. (I removed the update as well) and I am not able to see any wireless connections as indicated in the picture. I have tried to check for updates for the driver, as well as enable and disable it. I also tried the same with the network adapter.. anything you can think of you name it.. but I still can't find a solution. EDIT: I am connected via LAN

I have WDS and MDT configured to deploy windows 10 to Lenovo ThinkPad 15 Gen2 along with network driver and all the things needed. Due to a minor misconfiguration right network drivers were not being injected. But when we are doing the same windows 10 installation through Bootable USB, we won't be including any drivers in that, but that still works. What I don't understand is the whole WDS deployment happens on the private network which doesn't need internet which I am being mandated for the process after MDT GUI has done its work the laptop restarts and saying "Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while." as the landing page and getting stuck there for hours not letting me go any further. Please help me understand the part where it says it is trying to connect to Microsoft and getting stuck meaning it is trying to connect to internet when there is no need for that.
