I have to sign in endlessly to make a comment, like 50 times a day, why? Used to sign in and stay signed in for weeks.

Also go to Settings > Apps > Authenticator > Battery > Disable optimization.
If this did not work please let me know and I will diagnose your error further.

2026-01-04T22:20:59.72+00:00 It looks like it is automatically converting the “&” symbol into “&” when you type it.
Here is what I found that should get you to the date and time:
Open Settings
On the left side, click Time & language
On the right side, click Date & time
Turn on Set time automatically
If you are not seeing time and language on the sidebar, can you please provide a screenshot of what appears there?
Thank you for your time.

2026-01-07T22:47:21.69+00:00 Thanks for sharing the screenshot. It looks like you are in Microsoft Edge settings, not Windows settings.
That is probably why you were not getting the date & time option.
Make sure you are in Windows settings by clicking the start menu and clicking all apps. From there, you can scroll to your settings app, which should look like a gear icon, and click that.
In the left sidebar, click Time & language.
Then click Date & time.
Turn on Set time automatically.
Please let me know if you found it, and if it solved your issue.
