Are there computer repair experts in the Villages that work on Windows 10?

Try the computer Club, they have several experts, if you can be a little more specific, there maybe others that can help.

Cannot access Yahoo email. Tried all the suggested methods to gain access but I do not have the recovery email address and access code that Yahoo has in their system. My desk top is where the problem exists but I can access the email on my tablet and cell phone. Had one service person come out but he could not help. Said I need to get the recovery email address and code.

That's weird. You're welcome to give him a call. It might be something he can help you with over the phone. His name is Eric (352) 408-9815. My name is Amber. :]

Jake is awesome! He's my number #2 guy when my husband can't fix something. 9 times out of 10, he can :laugh:

Two options over Windows:
1) Chromebook
2) Put Linux - Mint on as a duel boot.

Google both

You are not having a Win 10 issue. It is a PASSWORD issue. Your Win 10 desktop shortcut is not working, it either got corrupted or does not work with new Yahoo dual security protocols, Try logging with your credentials directly in your Win 10 browser. If your tablet or phone can access your email, write down all your contacts. (Better safe than sorry.) Then try to recover on your phone or tablet, and change your mail credentials and recovery data.

Third option, get a Mac.

I agree with above. If you get into Yahoo mail, switch back to your desktop, delete your old shortcut, and create a new one. Sign out of Yahoo mail, and then test your new short cut. If this does not work, I am at a loss.

You're right, a Mac is a 3rd choice.

Windows spys on you, makes it difficult to get updates and requires antivirus programs.
Apple spys on you too, only less, and yes, they too get viruses, but are fixed quickly.
Linux Mint - easy to use, does not spy on you, updates are not required, just suggested, and "could" get a virus, but you have to open a "click bait" email, or go out of your way to get one.

Now let's talk about Chromebook:
Safe, Secure and Simple.

Due to the way the system works, (I say never, but others think that word is too strong) you don't get viruses.
It brings you to the web immediately. Most of us in The Villages do most of our work on the web (email, Facebook, banking, news, etc.)
It automatically saves your spreadsheets, and documents to the web with a free 15gb of storage.
Having worked on more computer systems than I can count (PCs, IBM Mainframes, NCR, TI, Pick, etc.), I find the Chromebook fulfills my needs 99.99% of the time.

Not looking to start a flame war, just trying to help people find a safe, secure, simple way to get on the web.

Open the old yahoo account and have it forward everything to the new account. Go to the desktop and open the new account and see if everything was forwarded. Just a guess based on a little research.
