Windows 10 update problems Q: "Following the most recent Windows 10 updates, my desktop started locking up after sitting idle for 30 to 45 minutes. The displays froze, the USB mouse froze, the Bluetooth keyboard froze. The only way to regain control was to do a power cycle reboot. Help!"

You can't always wait to talk to me on my show, so I partnered with a company that can be there for you when you need help.

Scanning my old photos Q: On your show you recommend ExpressVPN. I’ve seen others recommend Norton VPN. Why is ExpressVPN at the top of your list? A: Time to get a scanner. A high-speed, high-quality scanner like the Epson FastFoto FF-640 is the quickest, easiest way to digitize your memories. It scans a photo in just one second, you don’t need to sort your photos by size (it can scan everything from wallet size to 8x10) and it captures both sides of your photos, so you don’t lose those handwritten notes on the back. And with built-in Wi-Fi, you can place your FastFoto scanner virtually anywhere in your home. Preserve what’s priceless with a FastFoto scanner. Available at Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples or Epson.com/FastFotoKim. |
ExpressVPN vs. the other guys Q: On your show you recommend ExpressVPN. I’ve seen others recommend Norton VPN. Why is ExpressVPN at the top of your list? A: I’ve tried all the major VPNs, and you can trust me when I say ExpressVPN is the best out there. Let’s compare it to Norton. ExpressVPN works, no matter where you are. You can use it in nearly 100 countries, compared to 28 for Norton. The best part, though? ExpressVPN offers unlimited bandwidth and server switches. Why should you care? It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes without sacrificing speed. Try ExpressVPN free for 30 days, and get 3 months free when you sign up for a year at ExpressVPN.com/Kim. |
