Re: Using the Sharing Function In Edge
I have no tried to share to Facebook, but I have noticed that for me only the Mail app shows up for sharing by email even though I have Outlook set as my default mail program and it is a Microsoft product. One would think sharing via Outlook would be supported, but if it is I also have not yet figured it out. Of course it’s just about as easy to press Alt + D on a particular page, then Control + C to copy the URL, open Outlook and start an email and then to either paste in the link or write something and make it into an embedded link.

Re: Alt F4 Frozen
I told you all along that some keyboards have such a key or slider switch and short of the keyboard being worn out or defective, that is always the most logical answer if no function key combination works.

If that is the case then you may simply need a new keyboard. How old is the keyboard you are using and was it just what I call a "cheap" mainstream wired keyboard like the ones you can buy for $20 or was it a more expensive mechanical keyboard? In my experience the cheap keyboards which often come with a computer will only last a couple of years before they start to do weird things and even the better Logitech wireless keyboards like the MK510/540 or even more expensive MK710 (those "MK" models are mouse/keyboard combos) have a limited life span. At home I use a Logitech K780 which is quite nice, but at work I have actually gone back to mostly high-end wired mechanical keyboards, in this case I decided on the keyboards from the company "Das Keyboard" and the model I have is the "Professional 4". They are made from aluminum with Cherry MX Blue switches and a fantastic built quality, each keyboard also has 2 USB 3.0 ports on the back, but they also are $220 Canadian, I think in the US they go for around $150 or $160 and at least last Black Friday I didn't even see them on sale. I only bought them less than a year ago and I guess I'll see if they indeed will pay for themselves by lasting 6 or more years because typically before I bought Logitech wireless keyboards where I could probably buy 3 for the price of one of these Das Keyboard models, but I would have to replace them every 2 years or so.

Hi, If you are using Windows 10, one of the latest releases, go to Settings Click on Devices Tab to list of items Choose “Typing” Click or hit enter Tab once Now you will see several choices including: Correct Spelling , Auto fill and other items. You can turn these on or off with a tap of the space bar. Once you have made choices close the window.
Hope this helps.
