I installed Proton VPN three times and all three times they ask for a username that I didn't enter anywhere, so I can't even log in. The first app in my life (I'm 73 years old) that I can't install. It would be good if you post tutorials that are easy and understandable and step by step. The story is not that interesting. I wish you much success in your future work.
@RayKnowsTechКүн бұрын
did you watch the full installation video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHe0qp6mr7GVmtE It covers the username and password setup. I do warn this was one of my first videos and I was still learning youtube so the background music is loud.
@TataMata-qy9hvКүн бұрын
First, the big problem is that you do everything very quickly. Second, not all of us know English and your tutorial is shaded and it is not clear how to connect. Make some fake profile and leave it open for us to see how you log into the VPN because it's unclear. They ask us for a username and there is no possibility to enter it, or I don't know it. Thanks for the effort, but as it is, I am not able to use that program, so your effort is wasted, at least for me.

This was one of my first video and I was learning how to create you tube videos. I have since learned a thing or two. You can probably imagine, no one starts you tube as a professional videographer, its a learned skill. I speak English and create content in an English speaking country so unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that. I do appreciate the feedback.

Hello Ray, First of all let me wish you, your family and your near & dear ones, a happy new year 2025. Though I am 9 days late in wishing, I pray this wish of mine goes stronger and true to cherish. I have a desktop PC running Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2, System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor with Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330S CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz, Installed RAM 7.90 GB and MS Office 2019 Now with the mentioned configuration, can I have the latest Windows Edition and the latest MS Office versions (if not the latest, then which upgraded edition, both for Windows & MS Office) installed, up and running worry free and without paying any more money to Microsoft? Is it possible, if YES, then could you be kind and help me with the solution. As it is you are doing a great service to democratize the free usage of knowledge. I don't believe true knowledge can be directly related to the cost of monies; but it can be sought if one is curious enough and a true seeker of knowledge. I am from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Thank you so much. Waiting for your response. 🙏♥🙂

To clarify, I was stating that about Revo Uninstaller, not Wintoys. In Revo Uninstaller, after the program is uninstalled there's a scan feature that pops up prompting you to search for remanence, It then does a scan to finds leftover folders and registry entry's and allows you to remove them. Video is here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpK9omWHaNF6gck . Thank you!

how do you get an arrow line in markup ?
@RayKnowsTech5 күн бұрын
This is interesting as I haven't came across this yet. Apparently in the desktop version you can add lines but no option for an arrow. It is available on their online editor but I don't like online editors. I was able to make arrows with three lines but that not ideal either. You can, use the conversion tool to convert the pdf to word, add your arrows and convert back. What I just did was open the PDF in LibreOffice Draw, there you can add arrows and edit text. LibreOffice Draw lacks some of the advanced features PDFGear offers but its good for editing texts and adding shapes. Its also free. I'm going to submit this feedback to their Dev team. Seems like they could easily add arrows.

I get a locked screen and mouse and touch pad on Windows 10 and windows 11. Installed the manufactures video card drivers using their automatic update option, replaced about a half dozen if I remember. Still happens when for example having two Brave browsers running and when the lap to goes to 100% charged. This in going to chat boards is a common problem. So my question can wintoy be used to fix this bug in Windows 10 and 11? Have no idea what to do. I am from the age to have held in my hand a box for and IBM 1400 mainframe with fortran I in punch cards. This is too complex machine level program. I stopped when I retired my Commadore 64.
@RayKnowsTech6 күн бұрын
Hey Thomas, Wintoys isn't a repair tool but in your case if you are experiencing the same issue across Windows 10 and 11, it sounds more like a hardware issue. Its possible your CPU is overheating, or HDD is failing. Hard to say without more info. I would check CPU temps and run an HDD and memory test.
