AOL Desktop No Longer Opening
With Adobe canceling its Flashplayer and the latest Windows 10 update, AOL Desktop Gold no longer opens. Why am I paying to have the gold browser and its support features, if it's so old and has been so outdated for so long that a couple of much needed updates shuts the whole thing down. I'm now relegated to using Chrome to access my AOL emails.

Sign On Issues
Right now, I have Gold version 11.0.2709 finally up and working. But if I close the browser, reboot or turn off my PC, then everything is lost and I can only get a new browser 11.0.2706 after signing on again, that has no mail, no favorites, no personal icons, can't use your File, Edit, etc. taskbar etc. It brings up the news and AOL search boxes only. Nothing else works or will open. Yes, I have checked "Password and Auto save" when logging in, but it doesn't matter. I uninstalled GOLD 4 times today, Then just now when I relogged…

Cancelled TV Shows: Effective Immediately - Freezes Screen
After the first screen in the articles under the above category the screen freezes and a dissertation based on what appears to be a Microsoft site screen freezes the system. There is a box at the bottom to 'call' someone. This appears to be a scam. I used ctrl-alt-delete and cancelled the AOL task to get out of it. Clean up your act!

AOL Gold slows my computer to a crawl
AOL Gold lags my computer down. I've talked to tech and they can't help. When I go into it the program opens 4 CefSharp.Browsers and 2 AOLDesktop.exe. I go from 8% Physical Memory used to 97% whenever I open an article. This does NOT happen if I am using IE. I have spoken with tech support to no avail. I have deleted and reloaded the program with no change.

Since the March 4, 2019 update 11.0.2197, my AOL Gold 9.8.2 has shut off many times per hour. Task Master shows AOL using 55% of my memory and 98% of the disc when this happens.

AOL One Point is not compatible with Desktop Gold or Edge. Only with Chrome. You call this a benefit?
Your tech, Zak tried to find an extension for Aol One Point for Desktop Gold and also Edge. He found One point was not Compatible with either browser, only Chrome. This is ridiculous. Who was asleep at the switch? Please correct this. Otherwise remove One Point because it is not a benefit or else sate its limitations
The AOL Desktop Gold and the Microsoft EDGE browsers do not support extensions, therefore the AOL One Point does not run on these browsers.
The AOL Desktop Gold comes with its own password manager, which can be used to easily store login credentials for your favorite sites. To learn how to enable this feature, please check the following article: https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-enable-disable-the-browser-password-manager-in-aol-desktop-gold

Give us the option to save browsing HISTORY like Chrome, Firefox, etc.
Would be great if AOL Gold preserved our history of sites visited like Chrome, Firefox, etc. I have my browser set to 'remember the last browsing session.' Recently had a crash and some of my open web pages could not be retrieved. Because there is no history of previous sites I have visited that extends very far back, I cannot locate several important web pages I had open.
Please go to Edit – Browser Settings – Tabs – and check the ‘Show browser windows open during last session’ option. (changes are saved automatically)

Why does Welcome Page carousel stop??????????
Why does Welcome Page carousel stop??????????
If the news carousel is not moving, that’s because the cursor is hovering over the photo or the links, which paused the rotation. To restart the rotation, simply move your mouse off the image or links and it will resume.
