So, so sorry to hear this.  I think I read every Windows for Dummies book that Woody wrote.  Those books were my gateway to joining Askwoody.com many, many years ago.  May peace be with all his family.  RIP Woody.

I am running Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit.  Per Susan’s recommendation I am ready to move from 1909 to version 2004.  I followed all the advice and set the targeted release version as 2004.  When I run wushowhide it shows that 2004 is available to download plus some Office 2010 updates.  So what do I do now?  Do I click on check for updates to start the download – when we’ve all been told many times to never click on that?  Other than doing that I have no idea how to download and install version 2004.  I know this may sound dumb, but I am no expert on this.

 

I don’t know what to say.  Some things are just not supposed to end.  In one sense it makes me sad – like the end of an era.  In another, it makes me happy to see you move on to a new phase in your life.  Please encourage Susan (a very, very capable lady I might add) not to get too technical .  There are still plenty of us “out there” who struggle with all of the technical jargon.  We need to know not only what to do but HOW to do it.  Simple folks we are.

Enjoy your well deserved retirement.  Thanks for everything and you will be missed.  Some things just cannot be replaced.

Thanks PKCano.  I did have Quality Updates deferred for 15 days.  I changed it to “0” days.  Do you think that will resolve the problem the next time around?  I don’t know how to check and see if the August patch is now offered other than use wushowhide.   I ran that and it shows a number of intel updates but no August CU.  (By the way, should I install the numerous intel updates when appropriate or hide them?)   I may just have to wait until Woody gives the OK to install the September patches and hope I get the August and September CU at that point.  I think I have been a month behind in installing quality updates since I purchased this computer 6 or so months ago.  Anything else I need to change or do to get on a current track?

 

I’m running Win 7 64 bit Home.  I tried to check the Windows Defender version number but when I tried to open the program I got a message saying that Windows Defender was turned off because I was using another program to check for malware, etc.  I am using Avast Free and Malwarebytes Free but I was unaware the one or both of these had turned Windows Defender off.  Should I just leave it off and assume I am OK or should I turn it on and check the version number?  If I turn Windows Defender on should I leave it on or turn it back off?  And how would I turn it back off anyway?.
