    It seems Microsoft is trying to force people into the untested updates.

    If that is case that is not a good thing to do since they already have issues with writing buggy code.

    I haven't been reading many of the articles on www.askwoody.com , but Woody
    AND the folks who write Comments about the articles, talk about Microsoft's Code AND Updating a O/S all of the time.

    LOL. We have been beta testers for years already.

    I moved from Win7 to Win10 for my mailer and I run both a windows and DOS version. With the 2004 update, it broke everything so I went back to the 1909 and staying put as I do not have the time to troubleshoot or chase solutions down for the every changing desktop. Might just go back to Win7, it ran just fine for years.

    Dale,

    LOL. We have been beta testers for years already.

    Reminds me of the bulletin on my BBS "You Want To Be A Sysop??", dealing
    with a Sysop doing an upgrade, and things crash out...with it noting "Now,
    you know what the term 'beta test site' really means". <G>

    I moved from Win7 to Win10 for my mailer and I run both a windows and
    DOS version. With the 2004 update, it broke everything so I went back
    to the 1909 and staying put as I do not have the time to troubleshoot
    or chase solutions down for the every changing desktop. Might just go back to Win7, it ran just fine for years.

    The 2004 update took over 7 hours to download, install, and go through
    all of the reboots. But, I've got everything working over here. The BBS
    is on a 32-bit version of Windows 10 (so I didn't have to give up the
    legacy doorgames), on my late Mom's computer. My laptop, where I read
    the QWK Mail, and play the BBS doorgames...plus, do my ham radio and
    square dance related stuff, is on a Windows 10 64-bit system.

    At least the update this past Tuesday didn't take as long to finish.

    Oh man, 2004 broke so very much stuff, especially BBS related. I'd just got the board back on it's feet when I started having to fix the latest update related stuff, so it prompted me to actually just migrate everything over to Linux like I'd wanted to for some time.

    Well, right now, I've got everything working. When it installed the new
    Edge browser, I had to completely reinstall Firefox.
