Whatever THAT is, Identified

Well, the whatever that is from my last post would appear to be Microsoft’s answer to Google’s Doodle, except if it were second-to-market, minimalistic, and intrusive on the desktop. I still haven’t found Microsoft’s announcement of this feature, whatsit, or whatever. But “Search Highlights” does sometimes pop up search results on mouseover, just not immediately. Triggering the search related to the search image is done by mousing over the image and pausing for at least one second. Apparently, it changes daily.

Again, it can be turned off by right-clicking the start bar, and next to Search, unchecking ‘Show search highlights.’

Quick Fixes for Windows Issues

The February PC Updater News is out. This month, I cover the top Windows problems that don’t need a tech for fixes, usually. Try these quick fixes before ripping everything apart:

  • Lost Windows password
  • Missing Desktop icons
  • Lost an online password
  • Why can’t I login?
  • Can’t print.
  • How do Windows 11 and 10 reboot? Really?
  • My speakers are broken.
  • My mail is broken
  • Computer won’t start, just have a black screen.

The February issue and all the back issues are online, free, here:
