Steve K.'s post in Hacked I think was marked as the answer
Yes, that's a very bad sign.
I would also try Malwarebytes, but overall, when this happens, a Restore from Backup is going to be your best option AFTER you wipe your machine and start from scratch. You don't want to take any chances once you've found that you've been hacked.

Steve K.'s post in Windows Boot Manager; Windows failed to start; Status: oxc000000f was marked as the answer
Heya @bxpeters - @adacosta just wrote up a nice article on Fixing Boot issues on Windows 10 - Take a read on this one: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-windows-10-wont-boot-startup-repair-bootrec/
It includes several tips for fixing your boot issues on your box.
Also - just remembered, from Disk Manager, make sure the disk is set to Active also so that way it is possible to book.
Thanks!

Steve K.'s post in Flexnet file was marked as the answer
Yeah @Greg - from what I can tell, the app is mainly used for activation and licensing. You might want to check if InDesign is supported under Windows 10 or just do a clean uninstall and re-install and hopefully then all the components for InDesign including Flexnet will be added back.

Steve K.'s post in Flickering Monitor Issue was marked as the answer
Wow, this is a hard one to help on as the problem could be several different thing.
First, make sure all your monitor cables are fully plugged in. It could be a number of issues. Here's what I would bet it was in order:
Cable issue (swap the cable) Monitor (try to plug into another monitor) Video card issue Motherboard issue Static issues Normally, issues like this is not software. It's hardware / physical...
Hope that helps a little. Let me know what you find.

Steve K.'s post in Laptop Will not Turn on was marked as the answer
In cases like this one, if it's plugged in and it still will not power on, the issue is probably something that is going to cost money. Nothing you can do other than take it in and get a quote on a repair. And if you're doing this from Mexico, not good... Probably wait until you get home.

Steve K.'s post in Missing labels was marked as the answer
That is just freaky.... Before updating Windows, I would update my video card drivers. Check your PC/Laptop make and model and see if the PC Maker has a newer display adapter for it. DELL and HP are all really good at this. If you have a dedicated adapter (like NVIdia), hit install GForce Experience to get the latest drivers.
Being that you mouse over them and things get better..... It "could" be Windows related. What version are you running 1909? <Press Windows Key > Type WINVER and press enter.

Steve K.'s post in Toshiba P200-140 and Windows 10 was marked as the answer
HI @Iztok
Here is the system requirements for running Windows 10:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications?OCID=win10_null_vanity_win10specs&SilentAuth=1&wa=wsignin1.0
My suggestion is to review your laptop specs with the OS to determine if it will support the OS. You should also goto the Toshiba website and look for Windows 10 Drivers for Wifi and Bluetooth. Might be able to resolve those issues. If Toshiba does not offer the drivers.. might be an indication that your system is not supported.

Steve K.'s post in DNS SERVER was marked as the answer
Hi @buffy2011 - Have you done anything to customize your DNS settings? You should be picking up your DNS settings from DHCP each time you connect to your WIFI network.
To check your network card to confirm you've not made any changes
1 - Click Windows Key and Type Network Connections
2 - Right Click your Network Interface and click Properties
3 - Click Internet Protocol Version 4 and click Properties
4 - Ensure all IP address and DNS settings are set to "Automatic".

Steve K.'s post in Cannot play MP4 video email attachments was marked as the answer
Hi HC,
For me, the easiest thing to do is go download VLC Player. It's the best MP4 viewer out there - and it's free. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
So, not a fix exactly but should get you up and running.

Steve K.'s post in Multiple entries for updates was marked as the answer
Hi @gus - Welcome to the forum!
Does it continue to prompt you to reinstall that update or is it just something you noticed? If you just noticed it in the installed programs list, I would suggest you just ignore it and move on. Probably isn't hurting anything.
