   I couldn't get to Ransomware Protection either.  it gave the same   
   message.

   I'm not going that far.  I mean I moved my email and newsgroups to the   
   win11 computer, and I keep t he win10 laptop next to where I sleep, for   
   when I think of something I want to check before I sleep or when I wake   
   up.   The other win10 computer has 32gigs of RAM and runs well, but the   
   monitor, which I bought cheaply at a hamfest 10 years ago is not working   
   well, sometimes, and I have to buy another one, but there are so many   
   choices I don't know what to buy.   
      
   I've found if you watch youtube, especially police chase videos, etc.,   
   on the laptops, and they already have subtitles but then y ou add the   
   youtube real-time subtitles, they are often one on top of another. Yet   
   you need them both because often the ones proivided don't capture the   
   parts that are hardest to hear, that youtube subtitles do preey well on.   
   But when I watch those videos on the bigger monitor they are not on top   
   of each other, but one is below the other.  I have a 20" monitor now and   
   thinkI'll get 22".  Bigger than that and I think I'd have to sit farther   
   from the screen and the keyboard, and my arms won't grow anymore.
