Same thought!

Thanks for providing the survey, crunching the number and presenting the results. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the overview. I am looking forward to your hints, tips, and solutions.

Mentions a flash drive… how much memory (size)?

Sure will miss your expertise and step by step know-how. Enjoy your retirement and thank you!

Currently, I am using Google Chrome.  For Chrome it is:

chrome://version/

Maybe something similar for Edge??

Sorry, not a direct answer.

Great idea!  Please continue.  I  appreciate your insight and tips in whatever format you use.

I help “maintain” family computers at different locations and look forward to more tasks “-)

 

Be safe, Happy Thanksgiving.

I, for one, am glad that MS is “blocking” the 2004 upgrade on some devices… especially when they KNOW there is a known problem(s).  If the feature upgrade isn’t working, that is the least MS should do. A working upgrade would be even better!

“Resumed updates” and received KB4497165 without “Check for updates”.

Paused for 7 days and resumed updates again and MS reports “You’re up to date”

Current version is 1909, build 18363.836

Also have a Lenovo laptop Yoga 910. Resuming updates (not asking/checking) also installed KB4497165.

 

Both got the KB without “checking” for updates and neither were offered Win 2004.

After checking the WiFi signal strength in the living room (router Actiontec T3200 via Windstream located in back bedroom floor, under the desk), I decided to try to increase the signal strength by repositioning the router to the top shelf of the desk.  Although the strength was OK, I noticed the Amazon WiFi stick playing a STARZ HD program would occasionally resort to buffering and like some people, I had additional time while staying at home so…  After a lengthy process of raising the router and redressing the cables into a nice neat appearance, the signal strength was actually worse lol.  Usually, a higher antenna IS better.  RF can sometimes be a ‘magic animal’.  The router is back on the floor, experiment/entertainment complete.

Nibbled: Just curious,  what memory did you use in your upgrade?

@ CADesertRat: We have a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (SATA) using Samsung Magician, set to handle TRIM, without problems.  I have used the manual update for software, from within the program) and all is well. The program also indicates a firmware update is available but have NOT updated as some online experienced a “slowdown” after the update.

My brother had a computer making noise and it DID turn out to be the HHD.  Unfortunately, he did not backup his drive soon enough.

Backup FIRST, sleuth later (as others have mentioned).
