AskWoody Plusb, I never assume anything, ever. I’ll wait for Susan to respond so I know, definitively, the identity of the political image she’s referring to.
Peace, CAS

CAS
AskWoody PlusSusan, is the picture of the robot that appeared in the gHacks the political image you’re referring to? If so, please explain how that is in any way political. If not, what image are you referring to?
Peace, CAS

AskWoody PlusWhat you don’t seem to understand is that my post carried the title of a post on Ghacks. I didn’t write it. Martin Brinkman or Ashwin wrote it. Al I attempted to do was share what I thought to be some interesting information.
If any of you who desire to chastise the author’s on gHacks’ feel free to do so by going to their site and post your comments. BTW, “thank you” I meant it in a casual manner, as in nice to have this information, not in an actual way, as in checking the thank you feature.
As far as I’m concerned this whole thing has been a “tempest in a teapot.” I hope this issue is over and done.
Peace, CAS

AskWoody PlusI posted the article because I thought it would be helpful. Instead of a thank you I get a lesson in sophistry. Believe me, I get geekdom’s point.
I just read that fake ChatGPT apps are being used to distribute malware and steal credit card information. If you want to read it on gHacks, click here. I wonder how that article will be interpreted.

AskWoody PlusSusan, in the past I have always paid for my membership by check. I got a reminder to renew my membership and sent a check. You must have cashed it because my membership was renewed but my bank has no record of it being cleared. I’m at a loss to understand what happened.
Peace, CAS

AskWoody PlusAll downloads completed. Now on Win 10 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2604. The only hiccup was several restarts to download cumulative update. Everything working just fine except for the persistent DeviceManagement-Enterprise error 2445.
Peace, CAS

AskWoody PlusI updated my computer a few days ago. I’m now operating on Win 10 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2486).
Everything works well. The only issue I have is the continuing Device Management Enterprise Error, which I have continued to ignore.
Peace, CAS

AskWoody PlusDecember 26, 2022 at 10:19 am in reply to: Firewall App Blocker — Make the Windows firewall usable #2511712I have been using Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control for some time and find it to be a very effective tool. It’s small (650 kb), free and easy to use. You can check it out and/or download it at binisoft.org.

AskWoody PlusI agree with you 100%. Nothing about WIN 11 is useful for me. Moreover, my computer isn’t compatible with the “upgrade.” I’m not a gamer and Win 10 22H2 serves all my needs very well. As long as Quicken will run on Win 10, I’m sticking with what I have.
As with Win 7, I’m hopeful that O Patch will be available to support Win 10. The last thing I need to waste my money on is to have to buy a new computer just to run some useless “bells and whistles”. 2025 will tell the tale.
Peace, CAS
