DuckDuckGo. Started using it regularly a year or two ago on my Windows 10 computer, mostly with Firefox. It’s gotten better over time. Example: Early on, to search for a USPS tracking number, I’d have to add “USPS,” although that wasn’t necessary for FedEx or UPS. Now, however, the tracking number alone gets me the USPS webpage. Also, the hits have become more relevant over time. Won’t go back to Google.

Absolutely! 7/11: Cumulative update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 version 22H2 for x64 (KB5027538); 7/13: Same update name (KB5028937); 7/15: 4.8.1 is supposed to be installed after a restart (KB5011048). This is disconcerting.

A few days ago I received KB4524157 (2019-10 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems), which Microsoft had not checkmarked. On the advice of PKCano and Woody, I didn’t install that update, waiting instead for Microsoft to checkmark it. Today I got the October Patch Tuesday updates from Microsoft. KB4524157 is no longer listed; in its place is KB4519976, with the same label (other than the KB number). This one is checkmarked. I usually don’t install the monthly patches until the end of the month. Should I hold off on this one too?

Thank you,

Today I received the following Patch information from Susan Bradley:
Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Install only one of these updates.

4524157 – Monthly rollup
4524135 – Internet Explorer cumulative security update

I looked at Windows Update on my computer, and I’m being offered 4524157–BUT it’s not checkmarked. Should I hold off installing it until Microsoft sees fit to checkmark it?

Thank you,
