We have been covering various features accommodated in Windows 10 to help you understand them better, before getting started because, well begun is half done! One new feature that Microsoft has added in Windows 10, is a safety net for users who fail to find any help they need. Users can now contact Phone or Chat with Microsoft Answer Tech Support Team using Contact Support App in Windows 10, to solve problems regarding Windows, Internet Explorer, Edge, OneDrive, Office, Xbox, Bing, Microsoft Account, etc. You can chat online or schedule a call.
Contact Support app in Windows 10
The simplest way to access the app is to type “Support” into the search box and click on the result. Once the app launches, you can be connected to Microsoft help desk in just a few quick clicks.
First, you’ll have to make sure that you are signed-in using your Microsoft Account.
Once you have ensured this, you will be asked What can we help you with? The options are Accounts & billing and Services and apps. Clicking on these will open up more options.
Select the option in which you need support and click on it. For instance, if you select Services and apps and then Windows, you will see these three options:
- Setting up (Installation, settings and activation)
- Technical support (Errors and other performance problems)
- Protecting my PC (Removing viruses and malware, etc)
Select your option and you will be presented with four contact options – Ask the community, Chat online, Call me or Schedule a call.
Decide how you want to contact Microsoft. You can click on ‘Chat online with a Microsoft Answer Tech’ option to begin the chat or any of the other options. If any additional information is asked for, fill it. Once all is done, you will be able to ask questions related to your query on Windows 10 and expect a quick reply from the tech support team there.
I am sure Windows 10 users will find this app very useful!
There are other easy too to contact Microsoft Support. This post gives details about its Phone Number, Live Chat, Email ID and other Useful Links. This post shows additional options on how to get help in Windows 10.
You can now also give or take Tech Support remotely using Quick Assist in Windows 10.
Hi Anand,
I am on Build 10166 and it is not in my Store access. All I have for MS is Microsoft Premier Services. Is this Region/Location specific? I am in Alberta, Canada.
Crysta
It is built-in on my latest build.
Thank You, I found it. 😀 For some reason I keep thinking “in the Store” ???? 🙁

I cannot download pictures from a CD to the computer on Windows 10
I have tried at least 20 times to upgrade to Windows 10, but it fails every time. KB3035583 hasn’t been run is the reason, but it appears as having been an update.
Hi Anand
Have a rather strange porblem with Windows 10. Computer starts fine, albeit loading slower than usual. Then, when I put in the password and enter, I just get a black screen. Nothing is working, not even the cursor.
I had the computer on earlier, working fine. Then I left it for a while, and when I came back the screen was black. Started repair, but was told after it had done about 8% that it could not fix the problem.
Any suggestion for how I can fix this?
Regards,
Jonn Mero

Thanks Anand, At least your second suggestion recognises the problem. Now it is just to try. Cheers.

Since installing Windows 10 I am unable to create documents in MSPublisher and/or save documents of information copied and pasted from articles on websites for from messages. When trying to save my work, the screen print fades and the status bar reads (not responding), the blue circle keeps rotating, but never completes the save, thus causing me to lose all the work I have done. Help!!
why has a software thats meant to be a “brilliant” upgrade been created and so many people are having so much trouble with it???? and does windows 10 have keylogging??? windows is slowly losing peoples trust and patience
hi, good morning. i am unable to type in ‘hindi’. i have selected the ‘ENG/HIN’ button on the lower right side. however when i type the key board doesnot respond properly. For example i press ‘h’ key and ‘p’ gets displayed.
i have upgraded my operating system from windows 7 to windows 10 after continuous alerts from microsoft….since then my speakers are not at all functioning and faced very much difficulties in using my computer….please provide me the details how can i fix the problem…..
Its not a genuine call. It some scam. Disconnect from the internet and scan your computer with a good antivirus software. And yes, take the PC to someone your trust personally.
In Windows 8.1 about 2 years ago I purchased the Plex app
on a Microsoft Account that I no longer use, but I can sign in to.
Now I am using Windows 10 and a different Microsoft account.
Is there any way to get the Plex app I already payed for
to show as purchased in my current Microsoft account ?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Microsoft does not now support linking of 2 email IDs or Microsoft accounts. See if the ‘Add an alias’ option helps you merge the two: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-add-use-outlook-email-alias Also see https://www.thewindowsclub.com/manage-primary-email-address-alias-microsoft-account
Hello A friend I am tryin to help out Has a win 10 problem…he reloaded Win 10 and it updates and adds 20 gigs of updates and maxed out his small drive on a new Asus with 50 gigs of drive. Any thoughts why ?
Use CCleaner and see https://www.thewindowsclub.com/automate-disk-cleanup-utility-windows. Uninstall programs that he does not need.
I have a download problem where it keeps duplicating, even the ones already in my download files will do this now. I have deleted all recent programs and have used virus program and malware programs that I have and it found a map program but it was deleted. What can I do?
Microsoft shut down my computer! I received a Microsoft message number 2 that I had a virus in my computer and I needed to contact Microsoft support immediately. An Asian Indian from Las Vegas answered, then proceeded to attempt to sell me $179 protection package right then. He said Mcafee was not sufficient. His analogy of a guard outside my bedroom did not protect my husband or son was not applicable in the least. He said his name was Jerry and asked only my first name. I honestly did not have $179 or I would have been pressured to buy. Now my computer is jacked up- cannot even close programs or use off-line. Shame on Microsoft for such as unprofessional approach. I have a very bad taste in my mouth- especially after staring in the Microsoft products screen fir about 45″. My next computer will not be a Microsoft based one. Has anyone had any issues such as mine and what is a recourse?

HELLO AM ARUN I HAVE A WINDOWS PHONE 535 BUT APPS OR NOT DOWNLODING THERE SHOWING ERROR CODE 80070020 im changing date andtime but it’s not downloading please help me fast
The Win 10 updates are unpredictable. I’m scared to death each time the automatic updates (which I can not disable) happen. After an update one of more installed software stop working and need re-installing. I have no viruses or cracked software. The last Win 10 update corrupted the MBR (Master Boot Record) on my 2 laptops and 1 desktop. 3 computers done the same update at the same time and having corrupted MBRs is NOT a coincidence. Microsoft owes $900 just for this damage alone. i spent $300 for each computer to have the drives removed and put new drives in so I can keep my data that was not corrupted in the old hard drives. The “reset Win 10” without losing personal data function in the advanced settings was not working on all 3 computers. Thank God I had 3 spare SSDs as a backup, but it is such a hassle going through the old hard drives and saving all the data in different locations. I’m switching to MAC and ditching everything PC related – PERIOD!
help i have an error code and it says it failed to update for the last 3 months
