@russ8585 , Yes, the product in the screenshot is the one I use. You can see from my "About" screen, that ESET uses two different names for the product. I am not sure why they do that . . . ? As I said, I really like the product. I have used a lot of antivirus programs since I started...

Another vote for ESET products. I switched from Bitdefender Total Security after 10 years. It was very heavy on resources and buggy. I went to Kaspersky and was happy with their product, but abandoned them after what they did to their US customers last year, by uninstalling their product and...

@Brink , Many thanks for your prompt and helpful reply. I checked, and as you surmised, there were two policies dealing with version updates. Somehow Windows Update "remembered" that I had enabled the policy for 24H2, even though I set it back to "Not configured." I used GPEDIT to...

@Brink , It was a long afternoon, but 24H2 is installed on my laptop (Spec 2 - updated). It took out my desktop background picture and switched my taskbar to the dark theme, but other than that I had no issues to correct, so far. I only turn the laptop when needed for clients (on-site...

@Brink , Thank you for this Tutorial. My laptop (Spec 2) has stubbornly refused to offer 24H2 via Windows Update for over six months, despite manually checking over and over again. My desktop (Spec 1) got 24H2 offered within two weeks of the release last October, and it is a year older than...

@Hazel123 , I checked both my PD14 and PD2025, but I did not find a title matching your description. Sorry. 😢 My title editing, like my videos, is very basic. I mainly do old VHS and Hi-8 video conversions to DVDs. These days, most of work is of past religious celebrations where...

@Hazel123 , You're welcome. Sorry that I can't help you with PD16, since I never purchased it. Good luck. Perhaps someone here has the installers for the PD16 Content Packs . . . 🙏 Have a great day. Regards, Phil

@Hazel123 , I have the three content pack installers for PD14. I have PD14 Ultimate. I always save the installers for all of my programs on at least two drives. I stopped at PD14 because PD15 was subscription-based, which I dislike, and PD14 did everything I wanted to do. Send me a PM, if...

@Hazel123 , I am still using PD14 on my desktop computer (Spec 1). It works fine with my Windows 11 24H2 computer. I too made the mistake of upgrading to PD365. That lasted for two months. Too many basic bugs. It could not produce converted DVD SD .mpg files without blocky video artifacts...

I missed following this topic. Sorry about that @wiganken . All I see when I execute that batch file is a command prompt flash very briefly on the screen, but the files are gone after. Thank you, @Brink and @pseymour . I have disabled those scheduled tasks. I was not aware of that option...

@pseymour , I got interested in ridding myself of OneDrive, after reading this post by @glasskuter . In it, she links to one of the OneDrive Tutorials by @Brink . Both are worth a read and got me started. I have been reading, with interest, all of the OneDrive-related posts since then...

When I set up my new desktop Windows computer in 2019 (Spec 1), I did not agree to OneDrive backing up my default data folders ( Desktop, Documents, etc.), but when I got a new my new laptop computer in 2020 (Spec 2), I foolishly allowed OneDrive to backup those folders. I thought that OneDrive...

@Win711, Initiating a system restore point restoration returns the computer to the state it was in (not including personal data) at the time the Restore Point was created. There is no need to uninstall the unwanted program. The restoration zaps it and all of its files and registry entries...

@zen574 , It is never a good idea to have two or more anti-virus programs running simultaneously. It wastes resources, causes system conflicts, and can actually compromise your protection. Pick one or the other, or get rid of both and select a new product. This AV Comparatives report can...

@mck , Did you try to do the restoration of the System Restore Points in SAFE MODE? That is the recommended way to do restores to avoid third party software, particularly anti-virus programs, from interfering with a successful restoration. I have always had great success with that. As has...
