Thanks. Well, that actually worked, based on the link you sent. They had me do that (add the OAth) for my accounts quite a while ago, which I  did and everything worked for a long time. Then it stopped. So, Thank You!

Yes, it does.  Thank you!  I’ve followed your advice to advance my updates till the 3rd week or so each month, and I guess that has done the job.  I appreciate your DEFCON reminders each month to set that delay again, because Mr Windows in the Home version won’t.

Now I just hope he doesn’t force Win 11 on me. I also posted about that earlier today and was directed to another post where you commented.  I’m always a little nervous using regedit, so haven’t done that tweak yet.  Again, thanks for all of your contributions to Ask Woody.

Thank you!  I guess I’m really out of my depth here as a home user. When Susan warns me to make sure I have a certain update, I look for that number in my update list and would never have known about the MSRC portal, etc, etc, and trying to find a correspondency.

Maybe we need a DEFCON for the less-educated!  Thank you again for your help.

Yes, it is. Thanks Paul!

I figured it had been asked, but there are so many posts under Win 11, I couldn’t easily find it.

I checked some online reviews of that site and decided not to take the risk.

Our MicroCenter has Win10 Pro computers, but not with the other specs I want, so may just get a Home version and live with it.  My computer use is limited to Office apps, Quicken, email and web pretty much.  I do daily backups with Backup Maker and weekly image with True Image.

Thanks much for your comment as it dovetails with the info I discovered.

I bought the Win7 Pro PC direct from Dell, so I guess that would be a “retail key”. Thanks for the link to zdnet – I had that, but wondered if it still “worked” or if MS had stopped it.
