4. Switch the Theme Background setting to Picture

If the theme is a slideshow, and most are, switching it to one background might fix the Save a Theme error.

To do that, right-click the desktop and select Personalization > Background to open the options shown directly below.

Then, select Picture on the Background drop-down menu, and click the Browse button to select a wallpaper.

5. Switch off the Theme Sync setting

Press the Type here to search taskbar button to open the Cortana app.
Enter the keyword ‘sync’ in Cortana’s search box.
Then you can select Sync your settings to open the window shown below.
Toggle the Theme setting there off.
Alternatively, you can toggle Sync settings off to turn off all the synchronization.
Then restart Windows 10.

Windows 10 includes a Theme sync setting that’s selected by default for those signed in with Microsoft accounts.

That option synchronizes (or matches) the desktop theme across all the Windows 10 devices a user might utilize with the same Microsoft account.

Users have confirmed that switching the Theme sync option off fixes the Save a Theme error. You can toggle that setting off as described above.

Some users have also confirmed that toggling the sync option off and then back on can also fix the issue. As such, you might not need to leave syncing off.

So you can try toggling the theme syncing back on after restarting Windows to keep the device synchronization.

Those resolutions will probably fix the Save a Theme error message in Windows 10. Do you have another fix for the Save a Theme error? If so, feel free to share it below.

We use Wi-Fi almost every day on our devices, and we have dozens of saved networks on our devices. But what if we need to view saved WiFi passwords for certain networks?

This is pretty easy to do, and in today’s article, we’ll show you how to do this on both Windows 10 and Mac computers.

How can I view saved WiFi passwords on Windows 10 and Mac?

1. Check your connection properties

Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings app.
Go to the Network & Internet section.
Click on Change adapter options.
Double-click your Wi-Fi connection.
Click the Wireless Properties button.
Go to the Security tab and check Show characters checkbox.
You should now see the password for this Wi-Fi connection in the Network security key field.

2. Use PowerShell or Command Prompt

Press Windows Key + X and choose PowerShell (Admin).
When the PowerShell starts, enter the following command: netsh wlan show profile WI-FI_NAME key=clear
Be sure to replace WI-FI_NAME with the name of your Wi-Fi network.
Scroll down to the Security settings and in the Key content field you should find the password for this Wi-Fi network.

3. Use Keychain Access

On your Mac go to Applications > Utilities section.
Start Keychain Access from there.
In the Keychains field select System. In the Category section select Passwords.
Locate the network in the right pane and double-click it.
Now check the Show password checkbox.
Enter your administrative password and the Wi-Fi password will appear.

4. Use the Terminal

Go to Applications > Utilities and start the Terminal.
Run the following command: security find-generic-password -ga WIFI_NAME | grep “password:”
Replace the WIFI_NAME with the name of your network.
Now enter your administrative credentials.
The Wi-Fi password should now appear.

How to find WiFi password on Google Chrome?

Open Google Chrome.
In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
Enter your router’s username and password.
Go to the Wireless section.
In there you should see your Wi-Fi settings.
If available, check the Show password option to reveal your Wi-Fi password.

Note: Google Chrome doesn’t store saved Wi-Fi passwords, but you can use it to view your home network password.

Keep in mind that you need to know both your router’s IP address and login credentials to do so. Also, some routers won’t reveal your password, so this workaround might not work for you.

Viewing the saved password on Windows 10 and Mac is quite simple, and you can easily do it using the graphical interface.

If you’re more tech-savvy, you can easily reveal the saved password by using the command line. Did these methods work for you? Let us know in the comments below.

Deputy Editor

Wi-Fi connection is a key component on your smartphone and you probably connect to several different Wi-Fi networks regularly.
Sometimes, you need to view saved WiFi passwords, and you can do that with ease on both Android and iPhone devices.
We covered passwords and password issues in the past, and you can read about them in this dedicated password article.
Looking for more in-depth guides like this one? You can find more of them in our How to Hub.

Wi-Fi is the most used type of connection on your phone, and you’ve probably connected to dozens of different Wi-Fi networks.

However, sometimes you need to view saved WiFi passwords, and there’s an easy way to do that on both Android and iPhone.

How can I view saved WiFi passwords on iPhone and Android?

1. Use the Share Wi-Fi option

On your Android phone go to Settings > Network & Internet.
Now select Wi-Fi.
Select the Saved network option at the bottom, or tap the cogwheel icon next to the network name.
Select the desired network.
Select the Share option.
Verify your identity if asked.
Now you should see a QR code along with the network password.

Note: This method works for Android 10 and later. On older versions of Android, you’ll need to root your device and use third-party tools.

2. Use Keychain Sync feature and your Mac

Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain on your iPhone.
Now enable the iCloud Keychain feature.
Wait for a couple of minutes for the data to sync.
Go to your Mac and navigate to Applications > Utilities and start Keychain Access from there.
In Keychain Access, type the name of the Wi-Fi network whose password you want to see.
Double-click the Wi-Fi network from the list of results.
Now check Show password checkbox.
If needed, enter your administrator password.
After doing that, a network password will appear.

For this method to work, iCloud Keychain sync needs to be enabled on your Mac. To do that, follow these steps:

Click the Apple menu and choose System Preferences.
Select iCloud.
Make sure that Keychain is checked. If it isn’t checked, check it and wait for a couple of minutes to sync.

Note: It’s not possible to view saved Wi-Fi passwords on iPhone without jailbreaking your phone and using third-party apps, so this is the best legitimate way to do it.

To view saved WiFi passwords on your Android, you just need to go to the Saved networks section and choose the share option for the desired network.

On the other hand, the iPhone is a more closed system, and the only way to view saved Wi-Fi passwords is to enable Keychain sync and then view them on your Mac computer.

Instagram post not sharing to Facebook [Quick Fix]

by Milan Stanojevic

Deputy Editor

When it comes to social networks, Facebook and Instagram are the largest ones on the market.
The two networks can work together, but many reported that Instagram isn’t sharing posts to Facebook, so today we’re going to show you how to fix it.
We covered Instagram in the past, and for more fixes, check our other Instagram error articles.
Looking for more articles like this one? Our Web Apps Hub is a great place to start.

Instagram and Facebook are the largest social networks on the market, and since they are owned by the same company, they can also work together.

However, many users reported that Instagram is not sharing to Facebook for them. This can be a problem, but there’s a way to fix it, and in this article, we’ll show you how to do it.

What do I do if Instagram is not sharing to Facebook?

1. Make sure that your Facebook account is linked properly

Open the Instagram app on your phone.
Now tap the three-bar icon in the top right corner and choose Settings.
Navigate to Linked Accounts.
If Facebook isn’t selected, select it, and enter your Facebook login information.

2. Log out of Facebook and Instagram

Log out of your Facebook account on your device.
Now log out of Instagram as well.
After logging out from both services, wait for a minute or two.
Now log back into Facebook and wait for a minute.
Log back to Instagram.

After doing that, the problem with Instagram posts not showing on Facebook will be resolved.

3. Unlink Facebook

On the Instagram app on your phone, go to Settings > Linked Accounts.
Select Facebook and tap on Unlink.
Wait for a minute or two.
Now link your Facebook account again.

4. Clear cache and data for Instagram and Facebook apps on your phone

Open the Settings app on your phone.
Go to Apps.
Select Facebook or Instagram.
Now tap on Storage.
Tap on Clear cache.
Be sure to do this for both Facebook and Instagram apps.

If Instagram posts still are not sharing to Facebook, repeat the steps from above, but this time use the Clear data option.

This will delete all saved data related to these apps, so you’ll have to log in again to both of them.

If Instagram is not sharing to Facebook, the problem is usually just a glitch with linking the two accounts.

However, you should be able to fix that by properly linking your account or by logging out of both Facebook and Instagram and logging back in.

Microsoft says it will fix Windows 10 bug that causes weird errors

Microsoft has finally acknowledged an undocumented issue in Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004) where weird ESENT warnings will be found under the hood in Event Viewer. Windows Event Viewer is a built-in tool that shows a log of apps and system messages, including errors and warnings with detailed information.

In Windows 10 version 2004, when you access Event Viewer tool, you’ll notice errors linked to ESENT with the error code ‘642’. ESSENT is basically a DLL component and it is used by ESE (or Extensible Storage Engine) runtime, which is a data storage technology that facilities search in Explorer and desktop.

In addition, ESE is also used for indexing media catalog on the business computers and this process should be running in the background to help Windows 10 with searches within the operating system.

Event 642 warning

The problem with ‘ESENT 642’ has been widely reported by users in several threads on Microsoft’s community forums and other platforms, including Reddit. A Microsoft support staff reportedly told one user that the warnings could be due to a problem with the Windows.old folder.

“My Windows.old file is now gone and I have noticed a considerable drop of the ESENT errors 642. I did a Disk Clean up but I am seeing only “one group” of 6 ESENT errors containing these two below in that one group and they appear right after a restart,” one user noted.

Event errors may also indicate synchronization issues with the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), but users fear that these errors may lead to performance issues with apps, games and the OS itself.

Fortunately, Microsoft has confirmed that they’ll fix the problem with ESE and a future release of Windows will prevent the system from logging Event ID 642.

“Based on feedback we’re turning off ESENT Warning Event ID 642,” Microsoft noted in the changelog of Build 20197, which was released on August 21, 2020.

Microsoft offers a fix for WWAN LTE modems

In a new update to the Windows release dashboard, Microsoft confirmed that they’re still blocking May 2020 Update on computers with WWAN LTE modems drivers.

If you’ve already upgraded to version 2004 and you’ve issues with your internet, Microsoft says you can enable then disable Airplane mode to address the “no internet” bug and other internet issues.

How to ignore Messenger messages on Facebook [Easy Guide]

by Milan Stanojevic

Deputy Editor

When it comes to social networks, Facebook is currently the largest social network on the market.
Messaging is a crucial part of the Facebook experience, and today we’ll show you how to ignore Messenger messages on Facebook.
If you're looking for more instant messengers, be sure to check our Social & Communications section.
We wrote many guides like this one, and you can find them all in our How to Hub.

Facebook is one of the most popular social networks with millions of users. Just like any other social network, Facebook has its own instant messenger.

Sometimes you need to ignore certain Messenger messages on Facebook, and in today’s article, we’re going to show you how to do that.

How can I ignore Messenger messages on Facebook?

1. Use the Ignore messages option

Open Facebook in your web browser.
Now open the chat window with the person or group that you want to ignore.
Click the down arrow next to its name and select Ignore messages.
When the confirmation dialog appears, click on the Ignore Messages button.

You can also ignore messages from the web Messenger by doing the following:

Click the Messenger icon in the top right corner and click the expand button.
When the Messenger opens, click the three dots next to a chat that you want to ignore and choose Ignore Messages.
When the confirmation dialog appears, click on Ignore Messages.

After doing that, all future messages from this person will be moved to the Filtered Requests section, so you’ll need to go there to see them.

While it’s possible to do this in any web browser, we recommend using Opera. The browser is perfect for social media because it has integrated Facebook messenger.

In addition to Facebook, there’s also WhatsApp, Telegram, and VKontakte messenger available out of the box.

Other social networks such as Twitter and Instagram are also available, so you won’t ever miss anything from social networks.

The browser also has a snapshot tool, so you can take screenshots of any website and share it with others.

Ad blocker is also available, and it will permanently block ads on all websites. For extra security, there’s a free and unlimited VPN available as well.

Opera is built on the Chromium engine, so it’s quite similar to Chrome, and it even works with Chrome extensions. If you want a fast, reliable browser that is optimized for social networks, give Opera a try.

Editor's choice

Fast browsing technology
Free VPN
Includes Messenger Apps
Has Dark Mode
Built-in Ad-blocker

2. Use the desktop app

Open the Facebook desktop app.
Now right-click the conversation that you want to ignore.
Select Ignore Messages.

After doing that, all your future messages from this contact or group will be ignored.

Ignoring Messenger messages on Facebook is pretty simple, and you can do it simply by selecting the contact that you want to ignore and then choosing the Ignore messages option.

After following the steps from this guide, you won’t ever have to see any unwanted messages on Facebook.
