Windows News & Discussion / Re: Windows 11
Last post by Simon - Sep 03, 2026, 13:07:32I hate Windows 11. Nearly every time I turn on my laptop, I have to wait ten minutes for a Windows Update to complete, then sometimes it will reboot several times before actually becoming functional. Further to this, since 'upgrading' to Win 11, it's like wading through treacle trying to do anything when it eventually lets me.

Last post by zappaDPJ - Sep 03, 2026, 12:15:29That was my intention but perhaps it's time to start thinking about care home costs 
Having said that I did Google and the internet is awash with people having the same issue.

Last post by zappaDPJ - Sep 03, 2026, 01:38:38OneDrive started issuing error messages at switch on saying it couldn't authenticate/sign me in or something similar. My attempt to get it to stfu (technical term) has been the cause of much hilarity /sarcasm.
It seems I inadvertently activated it and it moved multiple files including my email data files and even my desktop wallpaper to a onedrive folder. The fact that all my stuff is now living its best life in the cloud just waiting to be hacked is one issue but why did it not change the file paths within the applications when it chose to move everything?
So now half my stuff is up sh*t creak (another technical term) because it can't find the data files and there's also little blue circles and arrows and ticks getting applied to various icons that seem to be spreading like some kind of deadly parasite

IDNet Help / Re: How to block spam that say...
Last post by zappaDPJ - Aug 13, 2026, 12:56:46I wish I could be more helpful but email management has never been my strong point which is probably why I get hundreds of spam messages every week.
The biggest issue I have is the majority of it is sent from temporary addresses on multiple domains so it doesn't seem possible to block although I did manage to block mail from the entire country of China with help from Simon.

IDNet Help / Re: How to block spam that say...
Last post by john7 - Aug 13, 2026, 12:12:18Yes I can't see anyway of blocking it. Support were useless as its clearly a problem for more customers than just us. You can't block IDnet or your self so clearly they can't just ignore the problem as people like my wife get very worried about it. But ignore it they do apeare to be doing

Last post by zappaDPJ - Aug 12, 2026, 21:56:27I get a large amount of spam that purports to come from my own email address which is obviously spoofed and not blockable. It's annoying.

Last post by Simon - Aug 12, 2026, 18:30:04I'm not sure if you're still with IDNet, John, but if so, if you log into the Customer Portal, scoll down to the Email settings, you'll find some configurable mail filters there.

IDNet Help / How to block spam that says it...
Last post by john7 - Aug 12, 2026, 17:27:39My wife keeps getting spam (or worse as we haven't been so stupid to do anything with them) which say from IDnet. Support just say config er the spam filters to block it but have ignored my request as to how as it has IDnet in the sending address. So is I add IDnet to be blocked that isn't really going to help anything from them. So any one any idea how to block tha last one IDNet via Docusign ?
