Look through this thread, it’s quite lengthy:
https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000013-how-to-clear-the-windows-update-queue-in-win10/
What list won’t it drop from, WU, wushowhide or WuMgr?

AskWoody PlusThose who stream from a NAS or Plex.
Sony’s new Bravia Core streaming service requires a min bandwidth of 115 Mbps.

AskWoody Plus50Mbps is more than enough for streaming from Netflix, Prime Video and other streaming platforms but may not be fast enough to stream 1080p Bluray remuxes. Bitrates can be as high as 80Mbps so buffering can occur.
4K remuxed content requires larger bandwidth still with 150-200Mbps recommended for a smooth viewing experience.

AskWoody Plus- Refer to: https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000013-how-to-clear-the-windows-update-queue-in-win10/
Its very lengthy but in a nutshell you will need to clear the items in Windows Update otherwise they will download and install.
Try following my method here which is based on PKCano’s initial post at the start.
#2427884Consider using another 3rd party updating tool like WuMgr which is my go-to now.
A lot easier IMO.Cheers

AskWoody Plus- Re And also being proprietary software. Although the company behind this browser are a reputable Indian entity the question comes down to trust.
An excellent privacy focused browser alternative is LIBREWOLF, based off FF of what I have seen online.
MULLVAD is another although very new.Cheers

AskWoody PlusIt appears that the scan option in the context menu was added via a registry hack which I had forgotten about.

AskWoody PlusI can perform Quick & Full scans with Defender. So you’re saying Bitdefender is prohibiting it from scanning individual items?
I have no problem scanning files and folders with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Eset.

AskWoody PlusThanks Alex,
I am not aware of any changes that could’ve been made. This is strange.
I am running Win10 22H2 Home and Bitdefender is my primary AV.

AskWoody Plus‘ I’m taking a slight break from tech tonight to share spring with you.’
You are NOT taking a break because you are talking about the tech of photography and how it’s changed over the years lol.
You are a true geek Susan 👍🏻
Happy Spring to you.
Cheers
