The library tech help has moved into the old Credit Union by the Burro Brew. In the very near future, all student laptops issues, tech issues, and printing help will be serviced out of this area. We have a new Tech Clerk that is hired. You may have noticed Mrs. Claassen starting to set it up and we will be training the new tech clerk this week.

In other words, if your MNPS computer breaks, you will not lose all of your school work as long as your work was saved to OneDrive.

Troubleshooting Laptop Issues

Troubleshooting Laptop Issues

DOMAIN ISSUES
  • Most likely you tried to login without the laptop being connected to the WIFI first
  • The fix is to restart the computer by holding down the power button for 5 seconds and then letting it power back on.
  • Wait a few seconds for the WIFI symbol in the bottom right corner to light up and then it is ready.

CHECK FOR UPDATES

  • Sometimes there are updates that need to happen
  • In bottom left corner type "Updates" in the search box on the windows screen
  • Select "Check for Updates" and follow through the prompts
  • If it starts downloading updates, then you will probably be prompt to restart the laptop. Wait for that prompt and it should fix any issues.

SO GLITCHY...SO SLOW

  • Is it Flickering, Is it Slow? Then you need to restart your computer for updates.


When all else fails...get a hall pass and come to the library.

WHERE IS THE CHROME!!!!

WHERE IS THE CHROME!!!!

This is a District decision and not a Mrs. Claassen issue. Due to safety and security with MNPS Technology and Access, MNPS has blocked CHROME on all MNPS student devices.


BUT WHAT ABOUT UPLOADING MY SCHOOLOGY WORK?

  • The district has pushed updates out through the EDGE browser so that you can upload your assignments in Schoology using your EDGE browser.
  • Follow directions above about Checking for UPDATES.
