AskWoody PlusOn one computer, I got a “Time to Restart” pop-up. I went to Check for Updates and found that Win 11 24H2 had been activated and was now “Pending restart’, meaning I had no choice to delay it. I closed all open items and did the required re-start.
Fortunately, after doing a few things on that computer I can report that I found no problems.
To protect my other two computers I pushed updates off to 2.24.25.

AskWoody PlusOn the subject of browsers, on one computer my WordPress blog ceased functioning on Firefox. It also failed on SeaMonkey, where it used to work fine. It continued to work fine in Chrome, but I do not like the way Chrome works.
On two other computers the blog continued to work just fine in Firefox and SeaMonkey.
On the first computer I tried everything I could think of, including removing Firefox, SeaMonkey and Mozilla via regedit and re-installing.
Nothing worked.

AskWoody PlusYes, I selected 5 weeks but it reverted me to one week.
Thanks.

AskWoody PlusSorry if this is the wrong place to post a comment, it was all I cold find.
I want to be able to use Susan Bradley’s Update list as a guide for what to install and on what to wait. It is very difficult because she does not list the items in number order, Microsoft does not either, so it is hunt and peck one at a time. This gakes way too much time and effort. We cannot control what Microsoft does; but Susna Bradley could easily control the order in her list.

AskWoody PlusGreat piece on the QAT, but we sure could have used it four years ago.

AskWoody PlusHey-
I am new here, so, with all due respect:
I just went through this. In my case the printer was installed on a Vista machine. I have two new Win7 64 bit machines I went through all of the same stuff as above trying to print on a Win & machine.. Nothing worked.
I finally went to the manufacturer and got the appropriate driver for the printer for Win 7 64 bit and installed it with the path for the printer. That worked.
