AskWoody PlusFred, I’ve found of late that a number of sites including some Microsoft do not “activate” Last Pass and I hvae to go copy the password to enter it. That is annoying.

AskWoody PlusI too do not find the “version” on my Windows 10 Home system on the “About” page.
This actually happens fairly frequently that the method you cite does not produce the anticipated result. What is up with that? -

AskWoody PlusNovember 13, 2014 at 11:32 am in reply to: 20 Windows updates installed without my permission! #1475208Why is it that the numbers identifying the Windows Updates (7×64) never match those quoted by Susan Bradley in her update column?

AskWoody PlusI wish MS would make auto update of Windows Defender as easy as other security vendors. The creation of a restore point seems unnecessary and time consuming.

AskWoody PlusThanks. I have hid the updates but every day there seem to be new ones appear from as far back as 2008.
I did original uninstall using Control Panel and then followed up with CCleaner.
