How to disable "Top results" from Microsoft Mail search results?[edit]

Is there is a way to disable "Top results" from Mail (Microsoft's default mail client in Windows 10)? I already figured out how to do this with Outlook. Now I want to do it with Mail. Can anyone help me please? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 10:25, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hackmuss I don't think there is a way. It's a basic mail client that is very limited in customisation compared to Outlook.

Google Play Services Keeps Downloading Updates[edit]

am on Android phone, and prepaid data..can't access internet..Google Play Services keeps downloading updates, is consuming all my data..do i have a virus?.its happened three times today..what should I do?. Gfigs (talk) 21:10, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gfigs: I found this: [1]. It looks like you can choose to do updates only when on WiFi, or disable auto updates completely. RudolfRed (talk) 22:35, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, will try this.. Gfigs (talk) 03:44, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RudolfRed: the downloads continue with auto updates disabled..why is this? Gfigs (talk) 16:55, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

will try to also disable background data on the Google Play services and Download managers, although this will probably interfere with downloading from Play Store?.Gfigs (talk) 21:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think Google Play Store has been disabled now, in order to try stop automated downloads, and reduce data costs. cannot download apps or games..Gfigs (talk) 02:52, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

cannot access ISP to buy data, after certain hour..system was busy or overloaded for 3 hours..xx Gfigs (talk) 02:57, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

am disabled (banned) on Facebook..would appreciate the advice.. Gfigs (talk) 03:10, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help you further. Perhaps you can find a forum more specific to Google Play issues. RudolfRed (talk) 16:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thank you..see here.. Gfigs (talk) 22:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it maybe possible to stop automated downloads by deactivating background data on Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Download Managers & Downloads apps, with above settings..however, Google Play store requires background data in order to download content..and won't be possible to stop automated updates whilst in Google Play Store..Gfigs (talk) 22:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

only possible solution, seems to be paying for more internet, or connecting to free wifi..xx Gfigs (talk) 22:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

logging off internet for now, due to Google Play automated downloads, that are consuming all data.xx Gfigs (talk) 04:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
