Google sells info on what you do so Microsoft also sells the info?

I use it but I use Edge Chrome FireFox

On another note my brother says he never had a problem with the keyboard but it keeps locking me out of alpha mode. I may be touching something that sets it off.

What happens is that capslock, t, y, left shift do not respond. Random stuff might bring it back but going to keyboard settings through the control menu, clicking in the first box and holding down capslock eventually restores function.

Maybe someone who knows Windows better than I do can defend microsoft for this?

There is now an account on my new computer called administrator that requires no password or passcode and I did not add this account: I gave my account administrator privileges so that I could download apps. Later I noticed that I could not change permissions on files so I went into the security tab of the folder and changed the permission inside that menu for that folder.

Someone please explain how this is not weird

To be fair, they told the truth right up until the comma. They're both based on Chromium architecture. That said, I don't trust Microsoft. I don't trust Google either, but Google doesn't change my settings behind my back because it disagrees with me.

No, it's weird. Are you using Windows 10 or 11? Either way, between this and keyboard issues, if I were you, I'd do my own install of the OS, because something doesn't seem right with the install you have. There might be another way of fixing the issue, but given how new the PC is, I'd as soon start from scratch so I know there aren't more hidden surprises.

Pretty sure that user you're are seeing is the, for lack of a better term, super admin. It is always there but usually not visible unless you like boot up in safe mode or something. Not sure what caused it to appear for you.

That's weird. You went through the initial windows setup right? You shouldn't have needed to change permissions just to download things.

It sounds like somehow you made your account a regular user instead of the computer owner.

Since he's saying it's new for him, I'm assuming he bought a used PC that came mostly set up. But I have zero experience in used PC buying.

I was thinking about that earlier actually. You're 100% right. Microsoft (and Google), pay huge sums on lobbying so they can get away with violating anti-trust laws. Well, in America at least. In the EU however, Microsoft got Anti-trusted at least once in the last 20 years for pre-installing Internet Explorer.

I've only seen the built-in admin be a thing on questionable Chinese laptops I bought for $80.
It's always there, but it's not supposed to "be there".

Everything is easy when you do it right. I do lots of stuff right. I rarely do everything right.

What I did was ask CyperPower for a keyboard driver for specified model of their keyboard and specified model of their PC running win10. Win 11 appears to have a driver for the keyboard.

Seriously, look up "How to do a Clean Install of Windows" and do it. All you need is a blank 8GB (or more) USB and maybe an hour of your time. It will make it like new, and you can start from scratch as if it was a brand new PC. It's worth it.

Exactly. It sounds like there's lingering stuff on there that a full wipe and clean install will get rid of, thus solving most of the TC's issues.
