Holger,

HG>In Windows Pro you can setup how you want the updates in three ways:
HG>To only be informed that there is an update available, to choose upload
HG>now, and postpone the update to later when it will tell you the next date

HG>You can also setup if you want, or dont it to tell M$ what you're doing.

  I have the active hours set, so it normally occurs overnight. The only
reason I'm still up was that I had to work on a publication for square
dancing, and to prepare a "nets list file" of selected D-Star, D-Rats,
and Echolink Nets...with links to D-Star HF, DMR, HamSphere, and CQ100
Nets. I normally release them on the 1st and 15th of the month, but with
thunderstorms coming in later today (15th) into Saturday, if I don't do
it before the storms arrive, it'll be Sunday (19th) before I can send
the file out.

HG>DS>   A fellow ham radio operator refers to Windows 10 as "Satan's
HG>DS> Little Sextoy". 

HG>I'm far away from being an expert on Windows 10 but I have learnt some
HG>things along the way. I do really favor OS/2 to run my BBS.

  I ran OS/2 Warp for a short time years ago. I've run DOS 3, 5, 6, 6.2,
6.22, DesqView, and Windows 95, 98, XP, 7, and 10. My first BBS, though,
was on a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 Laptop Computer.

HG>I have not had that problem. I'm almost shure I have turned it off
HG>somewhere.

  Finally found the setting, and shut it off.

HG>DS>   The ONLY reason I upgraded, was because of the security issues.

HG>Since XP I have used external firewall and antivirus programs since M$
HG>was very slow to upgrade their supplied ones.

  I use the IObit Program Suite now. I don't care for Microsoft's items.

HG>Presently I'm using ZoneAlarm as a firewall and AVG as antivirus program
HG>both are available as free programs. Recently AVG has added AVG Browser
HG>which is a front-end to start my Firefox and also added firewall and VPN

  I've seen that AVG deal and ZoneAlarm...but some programs really throw
a fit with them.

HG>I have not added the firewall or VPN to my setup but turned off the
HG>Windows Defender. Both ZoneAlarm and AVG + AVG Browser have free versions
HG>that I'm using. I don't know if AVG's VPN and Firewall are free since I
HG>haven't added them yet.

  I was wondering if one could turn off the Windows Defender, without
being blasted with nasty messages.

HG>Why do nurses leave the room when you get undressed??

  I prefer the females, as they tend to be gentler. But, I know some who
won't go to the doctors, because "they don't want to be seen naked". The
medical folks have seen more breasts, genitalia, and buttocks that we'll
see in our lives, and nudity means nothing to them. To me, they're there
to save my butt, and not kiss it.

  Besides, being a widower nearly 13 years, I know "what's under the
hood", and that "we're all the same from the backside".
