Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

'Appen so, but I couldn't access the Microsoft Windows Store directly from the app, because I didn't have the app after I'd deleted it!

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Have a look at 'All Settings - Apps > Apps and Features' to see if you have Microsoft Store listed there. Also in 'All Apps in the Start Menu under 'M'. As far as I know the Microsoft Store app can't be deleted, although you can terminate or reset it.

I don't want to try this unnecessarily myself though.

I had a look and, sure enough, among all the Microsoft Visual C++ entries (why so many?), there it was.

I wasn't aware of this, which is why I used the browser version.

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

I keep the icon pinned to the Taskbar for convenience. It should have the appearance shown. Not used all that often but I have bought one or two games from there in the past. Some software is obtained from there too (as we know). My 'HP Smart' software had to be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Yes, I suppose that equates to the shortcut on my phone to Google Play Store, where I can find all the app downloads.

In practice on my laptop, though, I tend to hear about software on the internet and a link to the download site seems usually to be supplied. That's why I don't usually use the Microsoft Store facility.

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Yes, understood JBR. I'll know to think of that if I ever see a similar problem.

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Not knowing anything about Ring software used on Windows, I don't have one of these devices and use Apple Macs anyway, I found totally by accident this link to recent news about Ring devices and thought some on this thread might be interested:

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Yes, I noticed when I needed to log in to Ring's customer assistance department that they needed my email address (which, of course, they already have on record), to which they sent a 6-digit number I had to enter to proceed further.
Nothing wrong with that, as it shows that I was who I said I was!

Re: I cannot download and install Ring software on my computer

Everything seems to be going this way, especially online banking. Something to do with the government insisting on this to better combat online fraud. Not a problem for most of us and if it does make for more security it can only be a good idea.

All I would have concerns about with this is for online banking. If your mobile phone is stolen and someone managed to get into it then all accounts on there are available, they also have your mobile so can use the security number that is sent to it. All my e-mail addresses are accessible on my mobile without keying in the passwords, as I don't do internet banking on the mobile I have no idea if that could be accessed without the password being keyed in?
