I tried to log in on Windows 10 forum but it keeps telling me that I entered wrong pass word or user name. I know I had they were right and I tried several times but the same thing. I then log in to Windows 8 forum and here I am. I went back to 10 but no change.

Would someone just reply to this so I can see if I get an email notification. On the 10 forum I haven't gotten a notification for several weeks--maybe months. So I want to see if it's the same on 8 forum. So if you don't mind just reply and I'll see if I get it. Thanks
