  1. UPS Battery Backup software--PowerChute Serial Shutdown

    I, like others, never knew about the new software until October last year when I visited their site. Anyway, uninstalled the old software, installed PowerChute Serial Shutdown and it has run smoothly ever since.
  2. Firefox is quite bearable browser so far

    Easy to personalise.
  3. Latest Firefox released for Windows

    Download here: Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/136.0/win64/
  4. Solved Latest Version of Thunderbird Supernova released

    Unless Thunderbird version shows 'esr', then other versions should be considered beta.
  5. Solved KB5050009 problem installing.

    This is from another site. If you have Windows Sandbox installed, but do not have VM active in your BIOS, then the updates might fail. Advice is to remove Sandbox and try again.
  6. Problem installing update (KB5050009)

    Unless the ISO has the most recent updates included, it will not repair to the latest version. Without an updated ISO, the only way to do the repair install is through Windows Update, using the process I described here: KB5050009 problem installing.
  7. Solved KB5050009 problem installing.

    I have been having the exact problem, with the "Something went wrong......." at 36/37% since I upgraded to 24H2 when it was released. That is at every patch Tuesday, without fail. The only way I have found to make the update, is through Settings - Windows Update - Advanced Options - Recovery -...
  8. Solved Win11 24H2 Not remembering changes to fonts after reboot

    I am going to mark this as solved (for now), as it seems that the only definitive way to achieve my original post is what I have stumbled on in the post above. It is possible that it may be reopened if anything changes.
  9. Solved Win11 24H2 Not remembering changes to fonts after reboot

    I may, by accident, have found the solution. Normally, when I shut down my computer, especially overnight, I also turn off my monitor. A couple of days ago I had a power cut and my electricity was off for a few hours. When it came back I turned on my PC and my monitor was already on (having...
  10. Windows 11 24H2 Monthly Updates Failing after Restart at 37%

    Still the same. I tried the recent prevuew update, KB5046740, and the same problem recurred. So, despite doing repair installs nothing has changed or improved! Weird behaviour on my Desktop PC (compatible), yet the updates install fine on 2 laptops (that are not Win11 compatible).
  11. Windows 11 24H2 Monthly Updates Failing after Restart at 37%

    If anyone is interested, here is a link to what I believe are all the log files from the failed updates: Download Data package from November 15th.
  12. Windows 11 24H2 Monthly Updates Failing after Restart at 37%

    Hi, I don't have trouble getting the updates, it is just that they won't install, always stoping at 37%, and then rolling back. I always have the get latest updates set to off.
  13. Windows 11 24H2 Monthly Updates Failing after Restart at 37%

    OK, maybe a badly worded initial post. Any thoughts on why this is happening please?
  14. Windows 11 24H2 Monthly Updates Failing after Restart at 37%

    I upgraded Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2 back when it became available in early October. When the regular 'Patch Tuesday' updates were issued in October (KB5044284) and November (KB5046617), I tried to install them and both failed after rebooting at 37%, and rolled back. After much searching and...
