I use Corel Draw suites for a lot of things and the latest Win 10 update (my system did it automatically) did something to my program and now I have to reinstall it! Why did this happen? I haven't Googled it yet but it's so frustrating.

I looked on my hard drive and the programs are still there. The location needs updating for the Start menu and it needs the disks (which I have) to do that but I went ahead and dragged new shortcuts to my desktop instead. Problem solved. Stupid Microsoft.

Send them an email and be sure to say "stupid Microsoft" in it ;)

I keep Edge as the default but I still primarily use Firefox. The reason I kept the other as the default was for my Office 365 account.

Edge works okay for me, it is better with YouTube videos than Chrome I do not use firefox so I can't comment on its performance.

guys, just a hint, try brave browser. it doesnt have a whole lot of addons making it almost lightweight and is a better alternative to FF and chrome..alas, no way to export to save bookmarks. and even though i have no tracking on, sites still track me. -if check on "what is my referer" site

One of the admins at another site I help with has also recommended the Brave browser. He mentioned something about having to manually enter tags when using vBulletin, and I wasn't sure what he meant. Malcolm, when using Brave, can you click buttons in the editor toolbar and get BBCode tags auto-generated?
