Facebook App Download For Windows 7 64 Bit
Thomas Merino
I decided to get a head start on Windows 11 to begin using and testing it. I upgraded on my Work PC, Laptop and On-Call LTE Surface. On the laptop and Surface, I also did a CLEAN install after the upgrade but did not do a clean install on my WorkPC. My laptop and Surface are NOT DOMAIN joined.
On my Domain Joined work PC, I can no longer access Facebook or Instagram via Microsoft Edge. You type the URL, and the tab has a "spinning" indicator but the page never loads nor does it give an error...it will usually perpetually spin or just show a white page. I fired up Chrome and same thing but if you wait long enough it MAY load but mostly the same thing.
If I disable the network card on this domain joined PC and go on the Wi-Fi (which is outside domain), Facebook and Instagram work fine. As soon as I reenable the network card on the domain, bam, it stops.
So I decided to clean install my work PC to see if something was gummed up. I joined my PC (under same PC name) to the domain, tried Facebook and Instagram and same problem. Pages just spin and spin and won't load.
I did a Domain Remove and Re-Add...while disconnected from the Domain and on WIRED network, I still couldn't access Facebook or Instagram. As I earlier tested, I left the wired network and went wireless and Facebook and Instagram both came up perfectly. Go back to WIRED network and both wouldn't work.
Hi @Brian , According to your description, neither Edge nor Chrome can access Facebook or Instagram through a wired network? Have you tried other websites, such as Google ( )? And you mentioned that they work correctly under the wireless network (Wi-Fi), so I think it should be network related issue. You can try to check whether the driver is the latest version, refer to this case.
Hi
I've noticed a peculiar issue with accessing Facebook and Instagram on my domain-joined PC since the upgrade to Windows 11. Despite trying a clean install and various troubleshooting steps, the problem persists.I've tested on another domain-joined PC (different name) with Windows 11, and it works fine. This leads me to suspect it might be related to my PC name on the domain.
Also, I recommend that you post your question on the windows 11 forum, because there you will be received by the windows 11 team that will explain in detail how to fix this or any other type of problem.
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
I run the Desktop app on windows 10. When I want to connect via the "Log in with Facebook" button nothing happens. Even if I click the button 10 times, it still does not work. The animation loads, it shows me that the button is being clicked on, but it doesn't work.
If you can, try login on your account on the web and creating a password for your account (Account Overview > Set a password for your devices). It will be associated with a technical Spotify login (only numbers). Then you can use this login / password to log in on Win 10 desktop app.
I am having same issue, it seems to be linked to error 4, which is an offline error. I can't use Facebook login OR regular login, can't access Spotify on my desktop at all now, fine on my phone though.
Issue seems to be resolved and it was in two parts. It seems due to an update at work something was preventing me logging in. When that was solved I still got offline error. I went into advanced settings and turned off proxy auto detect. That seemed to work for me.
I have 60 odd users that are rarely in the office and do not connect via VPN, however, I have been asked to block access to Facebook.com. I would prefer not to load on software to their laptops to do it. Is it possible carry out this task via group policy or does someone have a better idea?
How IT savvy are your users? Could you configure using something like OpenDNS and blacklist facebook? Obvioulsy if they are knowledgeable enough they could change the settings (assuming they have access privaledges to allow it)
I doubt any of the proxy server options would work on remote users who are not going through a VPN connection as the proxy would not be between the user and the offending sites at home without a lot of headache. The host file edit is probabably the best quick and dirty for remote users. If the users were in the office I would agree 100% with the proxy server route.
For the past week and a half I had spent most of my evenings trying to port an independent mobile OS called Sailfish onto my phone without any luck. As it turned out, Verizon had locked the bootloader on my phone model, which is so obscure that no one in the vibrant Android hacking community had dedicated much time to figuring out a workaround. If I wanted to use Sailfish, I was going to have to get a different phone.
My goal with going a month without the Big Five was to see if I could rely solely on open source or independent software without compromising what I was able to accomplish with proprietary code. Basically, could I live my normal life with open source alternatives?
Unfortunately, avoiding this kind of indirect support of Big Five through their back-end services will become even more difficult to avoid in the future. For example, Google is beginning to lay its own undersea internet cables, creating the infrastructure for totally networked homes, and developing self-driving car services. Microsoft is aggressively pursuing cloud computing platforms and recently acquired GitHub, a code repository I frequently use while teaching myself how to program. Amazon moved into the space data business and is also working on networking your home with devices like Alexa, and Facebook still controls how much of the world communicates through its website, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Yet even if I did scrupulously avoid visiting sites hosted on Amazon Web Services, the experiment was designed to be temporary. This meant that rather than shutting down my work Gmail accounts, I had them forward my email to an alternative email provider that I would then use to send and receive emails. There were also inevitably important files that I neglected to transfer from my Google Drive to an alternative hosting service when I was preparing for the experiment, so I had to log in to my Google account to retrieve those files and move them over. Or there were times when I was attempting to change a YouTube link to a HookTube link and accidentally landed on YouTube.
Depending on how you look at it, Amazon is either the hardest or the easiest company to quit of the Big Five. On the one hand, its consumer-facing business is mostly predicated on the idea of convenience, as evidenced by products like the Dash button or Alexa. This should, in principle, make it easy to quit since it would only require going back to the old ways of buying things from an actual brick-and-mortar store or visiting websites that sell specific goods.
When I started my experiment, I had an Amazon Prime account, but really only used Amazon to regularly buy three things: Books, cat food, and cat litter. As someone who exclusively uses public transportation, these items are a pain to buy at a store and transfer to my house because they are large and heavy. Of course I could just order the cat products from another site, but Amazon Prime offers free shipping and the ability to set up recurring automatic orders.
Then one day I was making a recipe that called for pine nuts, only to discover that none of the three grocery stores in my neighborhood carried them. The only other grocery store remotely close to me was Whole Foods, which was recently acquired by Amazon and definitely carried pine nuts. So I caved, dear reader, and bought some overpriced seeds from an Amazon subsidiary.
Developed as an open source operating system by Linus Torvalds in the early 90s, Linux has grown from a nerdy curiosity to a defining feature of modern computer systems. Indeed, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook are all major donors to the Linux foundation, which underscores their reliance on the kernel. These days the Linux kernel powers around 75 percent of cloud platforms and is also found at the core of many consumer-facing devices, including every phone using Android, which is the most popular mobile OS in the world by a huge margin.
Prior to this experiment, my only experience with Linux was setting up a cryptocurrency mining rig that ran a custom operating system called EthOS specifically designed for mining. This familiarized me with some basic terminal commands, but really I was a total Linux noob.
On my home PC, I have two terabytes of hard drive space, so I had more than enough room to host two operating systems side by side and still have a decent amount of storage allocated to each OS. When partitioning a disk to run both Windows/MacOS and Linux on the same computer, you can choose how much of your hard drive you want to allocate to each OS. In my case I chose to split it evenly. Now, whenever I reboot that PC, it will automatically boot into Windows, but if I enter the boot menu after restarting the computer, I can also choose to boot into Linux instead.
The easiest Google product to ditch was Gmail because there are plenty of good alternative email providers out there. I opted to go with Protonmail, a Swiss email provider that encrypts every email sent through its service. The only downside I noticed was that I used up approximately half of my allotted 500 MB of free storage space in the month.
It is, of course, possible to do a paid subscription and upgrade to get more storage, but this costs significantly more than Gmail's storage upgrades, which also allows for file hosting through Google Drive. For the sake of comparison, 5 GB of storage on Protonmail costs a little over $5/month, whereas Google charges $2/month for 100 GB. This is the economics of scale at work.
