    Microsoft reader is no longer available for PDF's



    Every time I must use windows I'm running through hoops. I don't have access to the internet on the windaz computer yet the update has reduced the capability of the machine to a paperweight.

    fecken windows, been only using it 5 minutes and I'm ready to punch the wall.

    I've looked into your problem, and it's clear that the problem lies somewhere between keyboard and chair. Do you still have the boxes the computer came in?

        Yes - it's my fault. Of course. Dear Microsoft, accept my apologies. Here have some money.

              Doing my accounts and finding Office 2016 Excel has got v slow. Change a cell and wait seconds for mouse to move. No idea why, no VBA, and only same links as I have very year.

              rant NOT over. My ranting is never over, just moves from subject to subject.

                Same experience here. Copy-paste between cells causes a freeze for a couple of seconds, a powerful workstation too.

                    Check for large tables? I had a worksheet where I created some YUGE tables to 'allow for expansion', when performance suffered, cutting them down to the actual realistic size restored it.

                    But in general, I agree. Fed up with functionality being changed or removed.

                    The Groove Music iOS and Android apps will be retired on December 1, 2018. After that date, the apps won't work and should be uninstalled
                    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.
