AOL Background Processes never stop in Windows 10!!

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the AOL Desktop Gold, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
You will see multiple CefSharp processes (along with the regular AOL Desktop Gold and Tray app processes) in your Task Manager in case you have several windows opened inside the AOL Desktop Gold (mailbox, email or browser), just like you would when having multiple tabs opened in external browses (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer).
Regarding the issue opening the AOL Desktop Gold, we have a few solutions for you.

I must be able to edit my birthdate since you system has the wrong birthdate.
My birthdate is wrong in your system. There has to be a way to edit my birthdate otherwise you are telling the state, hospital, FBI, Social Security, US Navy, US Army and VA are all a bunch of liars which you would be including my parents and the newspaper that reported my birthdate. Do not tell me you can not change it as I have been to computer programming school and I was taught that all information is not "set in concrete".

Start covering Venezuala and how Socialism is working for them.
You need to start covering the real news. How about Venezuela and how socialism is working for their nation. Maybe you can prevent this from happening to America.by doing real reporting. AOL is more like a national tabloid of Hollywood rather than a real news organization.
Oh and try supporting the President. -
The Quick Find feature in email was better before AOL decided to "improve" it.
Please fix the Quck Find feature in email so that it quickly finds ALL the email from one particular sender. If I ask for carpenter3@aolcom, it should show me ONLY the emails from that person. All of them listed one right after another instead instead of being innterspersed with other emails. That's how it was until today when an AOL technician installed a new version of AOL on my computer. The old AOL was better with regard to Quick Find. Hope my explanation makes sense.

Desktop shortcuts
GEEZ LOUISE! Yet ANOTHER unrequested, unwanted, shortcut placed on my desktop today. If I left all of the shortcuts your worse-than-garbage program put on my computer, I wouldn't have room for the shortcuts I WANT on my desktop. One link to your garbage program on my desktop is enough.
Your GOLD program is SO VERY INFERIOR to the previous version, that I have given up and my 25 year membership with AOL ends this week.
So long, ****.

Eliminate ransomware in news story pop-ups.
While reading human interest stories in the news section I encountered a freeze screen with audio which informed me my computer was hi-jacked and I needed to call a phone number to rectify the problem. The story headline was "find the cat in the woodpile". This is not the first time this has happened. Yesterday the story was about an ancient document. In reading that story the message appeared after the second "NEXT" button. Please make this go away.
This is not an AOL pop up. I advise you to run a virus scan.

Improving Linux compatibility of installer with latest Beta versions (.net 4.8 won't install)
Hello everyone from Germany,
AOL was my first ISP back in 1998 and I thought of what has become of this old classic.
I learned about the Beta site and thought I'd give it a try on Linux using wine (wine is not an emulator).
Unfortunately the installer crashed right away when it was trying to install .net 4.8.
I posted the following but for this

GOLD address file still not working correctly
The Gold address book is still working correctly. I have had issues with this from the very beginning. If you transfer a name from 'All Contacts' into an address folder it will not stay in there. I also get duplications in the address folders. I have lost names in the address folders also. I have contacted AOL techs several times and they reset my address book only to have it not work properly again and again. You have advised me that you have reset my address book and refreshed the servers. You have a bigger problem than resetting servers. You…
I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents look deeply into the issue you encountered with the address book. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733. Our experts are available 24/7 by phone.
