Fabler2 has the correct answer. Thanks.

At the far left end of the task bar is an area that reads out temperature and also launches a popup. How do I disable it? Thanks.

I'm aware of that. That computer was compliant. 22H2 cumulative update came up and 21H2 cumulative updates downloaded. I waited one day and the 22H2 update came up and installed normally. I can't see how it was the computer doing that unless mine has some opinion about what day it is. The...

Downloaded the cumumulative update and got it installed. All appears to be normal now. I'm convinced that some of these problems arise from Microsoft, not the computers we are trying to update.

No need to post anything. The computer is running 22H2. The history post update shows

I've spent hours updating 6 of my 8 windows 11 computers. The last two are behaving like recalcitrant children. The first is a laptop that is compatible with 11 and already updated to 22h2. I want to complete the cumulative update. Instead of updating to the 22h2 cumulative update it...

I can't help but think that some of these problems arise from an ISP or Microsoft. I spent two days frustrated that the update app wouldn't bring up 22H2 and I couldn't get installation assistant to run on my main computer. It simply went into na na land. I got the same error message others...

Sure. Three Ways to Disable the Lock Screen on Windows 11 I chose the group policy editor.

Understanding what lock screen means allowed me to solve the problem. An internet search on bypassing the lock screen turned up several options. I chose one that involved a simple registry edit. Problem solved. Thanks.

Win 11 likes to put up background image on startup and ask me if I like it. If I answer it will repeat the process three times prior to booting up. How do I get rid of this and let the computer boot right away. Thanks.

It makes me glad that I have my own mail server. Nevertheless I get all kinds of spam warning me that my account is going to be closed unless I click on something. I'm the only person that can close my account.

I probably need to do some work on email. I don't use a spam blocker because I have a business and I need to receive all customer email. This results in literally hundreds of spam emails per day. I clear them quickly, probably losing some customer emails in the process. The good news is that...

Yes, I found the email. It hadn't arrived when I last posted. I have an account. Thanks for your interest and help.
