    It dose that frequently, at least once a month. I'll go to power off, and I get options, including 'update and shut down'. I choose this, and when I turn it back on next day it makes me wait several minutes 'configuring Windows updates', whatever that means. The other day it took almost an hour. Every time it does an update something changes in the way it works.

    It's not bravery Grant, just blind ignorance. Anita is always shouting at me for not doing update - she says no wonder I get pop-ups etc, it's because I don't keep up with this stuff Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

    you get pop ups coz you dont have a security program... windows main updates are different. they always screw up some folks pcs at first, and im not keen on it being mine. looks like its been ok on yours. no blue screen, wifi down etc. they have been bringing out fixes so its maybe safe now.
    buy a decent security system like malwarebytes.. it'll save you a lot of troubles

    I keep my W10 PC on pause updates. Gives Microsoft a week to patch any disasters.

    Shame W7 and XP ceased to be viable. Must try Linux again, I wonder if installing printers has become easier?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Would take me a lifetime to fill!

    I tend to use 500 GB SSDs with mechanical drives for backup and extra storage.

    I think multifunction machines are sometimes problematic in Linux, I have no problem running my ancient HP Laserjet 6L and ancient Canon scanner in Linux Mint. In fact I had and still have problems running both these devices in Windows 10.

    Yes, Mint was the last Linux I tried a couple of years ago. I may try it again on a tiny 32 bit Acer Revo I have sitting doing nothing.
