   That sort of gels with what I've normally seen when I look at reli; some   
   updates (?) every day or two. I'm happy to admit I haven't checked it   
   that often - usually only when I wonder if all is well - but when I   
   have, there have usually been some updates most days.   
      
   I was thus just surprised to see a week without any. (OK, I know it's   
   Christmas, but this is corporate America we're talking about, which I'm   
   led to believe doesn't really believe in holidays.)

   If that's the things I see under "Apps" (Windows 10, Classic Shell),   
   then I don't _use_ any of them - though that wouldn't stop them   
   updating, of course.
