MS-DEFCON 2:
Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it.

AskWoody MVPEnough RAM, right physical size, within budget, order. Nothing else required for workstations.
cheers, Paul

AskWoody MVPNot for business purchases, we just order the latest box that fits the use.

AskWoody MVPThat is normal behaviour when you change users – NTFS permissions are user based.
You can either take ownership of all the files or attempt to change the permissions on them all. Taking ownership is usually the least hassle and is simple.

AskWoody MVPI use WuMgr as an adjunct to Windows Update. It can also be used as a replacement for WU – it still uses the WU components to check / perform updates, so don’t disable anything WU manually.
You also list a tool that turn off some of the telemetry – ShutUp10. AFAIK this doesn’t replace WU.

AskWoody MVPISP says ip is hardcoded in the modem
They were paraphrasing so you understood the IP is set for you and cannot be changed.

AskWoody MVPThis is a thread about the Windows backup program, not 3rd party apps.

AskWoody MVPGrounding the computer by leaving the power cable connected is of no value if you wander in “fully charged” and put your hand straight on top of the RAM. You now discharge to ground via the RAM!
Static electricity is all about potential difference, not “ground”.
You must be at the same potential as the computer and components, even if that is several thousand volts above “ground”.Touch a metal part of the computer case, before putting your hands / tools anywhere near the components. If you leave and come back, even a few metres, touch a metal part of the case first.
cheers, Paul

AskWoody MVPWhat’s wrong with keeping Office 2003? You’re used to it, it does what you need, it’s cheap, all you need to ensure is you AV scan files from outside sources before opening them in Office.
If you do change, there is no need for a CD as you download the software from Microsoft, install and enter your license.
cheers, Paul

AskWoody MVPCurrently I get Verizon “high speed” internet. It’s not fast enough to watch any videos
According to Fred in the recent newsletter Stop paying $200 a year for your Internet cable modem, that isn’t the case.
University of Chicago computer science professor Nick Feamster: “higher access speeds provide only marginal improvements to video quality.”
Even Netflix states that its most-demanding streaming-video formats — a 4K TV picture with Dolby Vision or HDR10 audio — require you to have an Internet service tier of no more than 25Mbpscheers, Paul

AskWoody MVPI do know that one can’t image a “normal” SSD and restore it to this drive style.
The backup and restore / clone process is actually the same, but an additional step may be required to install drivers prior to the clone and the original disk must be EFI boot.
cheers, Paul

AskWoody MVPFired up in Chrome incognito mode and the bar is right at the top where you can’t miss it.

AskWoody MVPIt means, “don’t worry, be happy”. We have a great team looking out for you by keeping the baddies off this site.

AskWoody MVPYour IP is not tied to your modem, it’s assigned by your ISP.
Without the error message we can only guess.
cheers, Paul
