I’m running win10/pro/2004 in my VirtualBox VM. *EVERY* time I fire it up the ‘notfications” area has a “Ready to choose backup options?” box. I cannot dismiss it. I’ve tried clicking on ” Turn off reminders” and it doesn’t help. I’ve tried clicking on “View Backup OPtions” and nothing happens.. It dosn’t really matter [all it does is clutter my notifcations area] but I wonder why I can’t make it go away

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
