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."

Windows 10 Workstation Errors
I'm working on a small on-premise Windows network. One Windows 2019 server (DSDC), one Windows 2007 Server (DC), five Windows 10 Pc's. All servers and workstation have Windows updates installed. None of the devices have been hit with viruses. One of the Windows 10 Pro PCs just started rebooting intermittently. I checked the power supply but couldn't detect any issues. The event viewer systems log does not have any power-related events. The event viewer/system log shows the errors below have been occurring every day for months. Today, I ran the following processes but didn't find any errors: SFC /Scannow Chkdsk /f DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Cleared temp files Installed Samsung Magician to check for SSD health Checked Battery Backup Checked the case. It wasn't too dusty Verified all four case fans were running This same process has been performed before but the errors still occur. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve the issue?

Checking the connection to Microsoft. This might take a while.
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.Windows 10 Phone Reset Protection
I have tried resetting my Alcatel Idol 4S for my youngest son to use, but upon reset I get an error to turn off reset protection, I try logging into my account and it still does nothing, and the bitlocker says there is no recovery key to be found. I am stuck in the setup steps with no way of providing a recovery key, is there any way around this? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!problem in connecting with wifi
Dear Microsoft Team, It is been few days that I have updated my windows but after an update on my windows I am facing a problem. My wifi connection automatically gets disconnected after some time of connection and I have to connect it again and again while, in the older version I did not face that kind of problem. Please help me in this regard. How can I fix this?Prevent auto restart to install updates
I left my computer for 2-3 hours and it restarted on its own to install updates. Gone is my entire workspace with the edit history in Visual Studio. We need to prevent Windows 10 from restarting on its own. This causes damage, downtime and interrupts the professional work process. People lose money and stop using Microsoft products. I was asked by Microsoft support to write this here. case 1029920795
