   Additionally, I usually use Linux for my Day-to-Day usage. On my (now   
   defunct'ish) Win 7 Laptop, each Wednesday I'd boot into Win7 (for which   
   MicroSoft had ceased releasing routine updates), update my Anti-Virus   
   (AVG Free) and do a complete scan ..... then boot back into Linux.   
      
   As MicroSoft is still releasing updates for Win 11, if I ever get Win 11   
   running correctly, I'll probably adopt a similar practise.   
      
   When do MicroSoft release their 'normal' updates?? First Tuesday of the   
   month?? Second?? Third??
