Smart Lock doesn’t work on Sony Xperia XA2 running Android 8.0 Oreo

I setup Smart Lock with my home address and it worked great for couple weeks. One day it just stopped working. Smart lock on my Sony Xperia XA2 would just show white screen and no settings at all – no details. This is how I fixed it.

  1. Go to Settings – Security & Location – Trust Agents
  2. Disable Smart Lock (Google)
  3. reboot the phone
  4. Go to Settings – Security & Location – Trust Agents
  5. enable Smart Lock (Google)
  6. go back
  7. click on Smart lock
  8. and the problem is fixed

Steam client application won’t open on windows 10 computer

Today I had a problem with my Steam client. I would double click on my icon to open Steam and nothing would happen. This is how I fixed this issue on my Windows 10 computer.

 

 

  1. Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  2. find steam.exe and rename it to steam.exe.old
  3. restart your computer
  4. Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  5. rename steam.exe.old back to steam.exe
  6. open steam client – it will start installing an update and then it will open Steam application.
