Bleeping M$
Microsloth seems to be at it again. Bad enough that they always want me to save everything to OneDrive since I started to use it to move a few files between 2 computers and a few other things. I'm sure that they would love it if I filled up the 'free' drive space and they had to sell me some and they had to sell me some more.
Anyway, tonight I was peacefully writing up something in Word, when they opened up a space on the side and put some text asking me to respond -- I couldn't delete it -- and it even appeared on my print preview.. Finally, I resaved as text and opened ot up that way. The stuff was still there, but I could toss it. Somewhere along the way I had signed out-- well gee. I usually don't sign in, but I must have wanted to use their help -- which is pretty crippled if you don't sign in. They're nagging me about being signed out now and saying that I might not be able to access my files. ( they're wrong about that).
I have probably the last version of Office Home and Student because I don't want to deal with them -- but they just keep coming
W11 users -- if you have W11S -- you can ONLY install MS apps -- unless you remove the S(ecurity) feature -- which some have had trouble doing.
Oh to be able to own things again.
