[SOLVED] how did windows send web page to different device ?

[editor1]

Hi

I was trying to use paypal online the other day. I always get the page to crash after 45sec-1min an 1/2 after it ask me to clike the icon if I want to stay connected. So why and how does windows do this:

its not windows, its chrome.

Is the other device your mobile phone or android device? Does it have chrome on it? You can share info between your PC and phone on Chrome, its a feature of the browser if you use same account on both

Its a windows10 32bit tablet and it does have chrome on it. Why would it do this without asking me ?

Because Chrome is saving all that info in 'the cloud', for syncing between devices.
Somewhere in setting it up and using your google account, it asked you if that was OK.

odd thaing is this is the only time windows notification's has dune this. Just that one time. I cant get it to do it again

chrome integrates its notifications into the windows 10 system.

doesn't look like you get much control over the process

Ya. The notifications isn't what I'm worry'd about. I did not authorize sending something to my other devices on my network. Makes me believe some one remotely had control of my pc(network)

It's not 'sending', but rather it is 'syncing'.

Log on with the same google (chrome) account, synced.

Amen! If you log in to the browser itself, it's 99.999% certain that you allowed the sync feature to be configured as part of that. You can check to see what you have set up by clicking on the icon (often your avatar, if you uploaded a specific one) immediately to the left of the Google Chrome triple-dot menu button at the upper right side of the main Chrome control bar.

The first thing you'll see if it's syncing is, "Syncing to," followed by the Google Account. You can control what syncs within the account settings structure somewhere. I've forgotten specifically where at the moment and don't want to spend the time digging.

I always have my accts sync set on. I never get that msg.
EDIT: But I might have left chrome open on the tablet. So that might be why it was the first time I saw that notification. My bad. I'll test and see if I can git it to happen again.

Well, it's not something I would worry about, at all, if the information in that message is not suspicious to you. If you were dealing with the site noted at the bottom of the message, and WINTAB2 belongs to you, then it's just letting you know that the account summary was sent there.

I can't say why, and at the moment neither can you, but it is almost certainly secondary to something you, as an end user, did. That's not an accusation or chastisement, but merely a fact. You may eventually intentionally find or stumble upon what that "something you did" is.
