My Computer Specs Windows 10 Education 20H2 19042.985 x64 Intel core i5-2500 CPU 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 240GB SSD Storage Mail and Calendar app version: 16005.13426.20920.0 @Windows 10 Download Speed is very slow
Although there is no internet connection speed issue on other mobile devices and computers connected to the same modem, the internet download speed is 2 Mbps and the upload speed is 9 Mbps on my computer. Both Windows 10 Pro and MacOS are installed on the same computer (i.e Macbook Pro). When I switch to MacOS, the internet download speed is 75Mbps as it should be. I've tried the most common solutions suggested on Microsoft's site and other sites on the subject. None of them worked out. I reinstalled Windows 10 by protecting the files and programs on my computer, but there was no solution. I also shut down all non-Windows applications and services that started automatically when the computer was booted, again, there was no solution. I tried 7-8 more actions without any solution. My computer did not have such a problem 2 weeks ago. It started suddenly. Windows 10 Pro was upgraded recently to version 1909. Even though, I'm not sure I suspect this might be the problem. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Update after 5 years (22 August 2024): I could not find a solution to this problem. I experienced this problem twice. Each time, I had to completely format the Windows installation on Boot Camp. Then, reset macOS. After that reinstalled Windows on Macbook Pro via Boot Camp from scratch. That solved my issue. I suspect the issue might be due to some updates that came via Boot Camp. Also, don't install Wifi related updates provided as optional updates on Windows if you don't experience any issue at that moment. Such updates may be the reason as well.Shifting from BIOS to UEFI with the Windows 10 Creators Update MBR2GPT disk conversion tool

How to switch from a local user account/profile , to using an Azure AD connected account/profile?
We have a few Surface Pro devices that have users logging into Windows 10 Pro using a local user account. We have since migrated to Microsoft 365 Business so I would like these users to start logging in using their M365 Azure AD account, so that they can self-service their login password and MFA method, as well as allowing me to better manage their device through InTune. How do I switch the user over to an Azure AD login account and Windows profile?How to create an Ubuntu VM on Windows 10 using Quick Create
Windows 10 is not just a modern desktop operating system, and it also has some great IT Pro and Developer related features build in. One of them is client Hyper-V. This is the same hypervisor which powers virtualization in Windows Server and the Microsoft Azure datacenters. With Hyper-V, you can create virtual machines running on Windows 10, without the need for third-party software. You can not just run Windows virtual machines, and you can also run Linux virtual machines. In this blog post, I am going to show you how you can create an Ubuntu VM on Windows 10 using Hyper-V.

Windows continues to play an important role in people’s lives as they continue to work, learn and have fun in hybrid and remote environments. Our goal is to provide new features and functionality via a fast and reliable update experience to help keep people and organizations protected and productive. Version 21H2 will continue the recent feature update trend of being delivered in an optimized way using servicing technology, like the way we delivered version 1909 to devices running version 1903 and the way we delivered version 21H1 to devices running versions 2004 and 20H2. Our launch approach for Windows 10, version 21H2 continues to fully leverage the Windows Insider Program to obtain user feedback and data insights on quality. Today, we begin releasing 21H2 builds to Windows Insiders who were moved to the Release Preview channel from the Beta channel because their specific devices did not meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11.

I Lost My Windows 10 Product Key After Windows 10 Reinstallation
When I first bought my laptop and opened it, the Windows 10 product key was automatically activated. I am using my computer for almost 2 years now and never encountered a problem about this. Disk Drive D being sometimes missing on my computer led me to reset my laptop. After choosing the first option which enables me to Factory Reset my laptop but keep my personal files, my Windows 10 is still activated. This reset had solved my problem of Disk Drive D sometimes disappearing. But another problem arose. I can't install Office 365 properly now, it always gives this ERROR CODE 30015-11 (3221225506). I did what I could do to uninstall it properly and install it again but to no avail. I resetted my laptop once more choosing the second option of erasing everything on my computer. But I was stuck at the "hi there" part for a couple of hours (my laptop keeps restarting and going through this "hi there" loop) until I finally found a solution and enables to get past that loop by writing something on the command prompt. In the desktop, I noticed a "Windows 10 Home" word written below my screen at the right side. I checked the settings and I saw that my Windows 10 product key is gone. I tried installing Office 365 once more but it still went through that error. *Sigh*... The reset was supposed to be a way to solve my problem but it just added more. By the way, the second reset which will delete all of my files did not work. My personal files are still in there. Any help would be appreciated. I hope I can still use my lost Product Key.
Always on VPN prompting for action needed - Azure AD Join issue?
Hello! We have Always on VPN implemented for our Windows 10 laptops. Everything was/is working great, until we purchased Microsoft 365. Once devices started to Azure AD Join, it put in an additional user certificate from MS-Organization-Access. Now, anytime a user logs in, instead of automatically connecting as they expect, you will have to go to the VPN connection and you will see "Action Needed." Once you click connect, it brings up a dropdown to select which certificate to use, the options being the one created for AoVPN (email address as the name) and the other being the one created by the azure ad join. Selecting and connecting the proper certificate does not persist between logins. Is there a way to specify which certificate it needs to be pointing at to avoid this issue?Windows Mail App Bug - Not sending e-mails from Gmail accounts
Hello, everyone! I'm a long-term user of the Windows Mail and Calendar app, and it has always worked like a charm for me. However, something happened recently and now every time I try to send away an e-mail from a Gmail account, I got a message saying: "There was an error sending your message". Everything else works: I can read new e-mails normally, and the other e-mail services attached to the app still fully functional (Outlook, Office360, Yahoo). I also noticed that when I try to send an e-mail from a Gmail account, what I wrote goes to the "Draft" folder. I can even access the "draft" on the Gmail website, but when I open it, the formatation is completely crazy. I got a Dell XPS 13 9370, and I'm running the latest versions of both Windows 10 and the Mail and Calendar app. I've tried everything I could: 1) I removed the Gmail accounts and added them again but the problem persists; 2) I uninstalled and reinstalled the "Email and Calendar" app but the problem persists; 3) I disabled the antivirus and the firewall but the problem persists (I got a kaspersky); 4) I have already run system corruption checks at the command prompt, but nothing has been found; What should I do? This is the pop-up that appears (I'm a Brazilian user, so it is in Portuguese):
