Glad you both got it fixed. (y)

Does Microsoft intend updating the leftovers from previous versions of Windows in Windows 11? I mean, when you right click on the recycle bin and pick empty, you get a non-themed (I use Dark Theme) pop up with tiny text which is hard to read on my 4K monitor. I appreciate things like Disk...

I've finally fixed the issue where every time I check for Windows Updates, "Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 10.0.27777.1008)" shows up constantly. It says it installs and completed, but the next time I check for Windows Updates, it's back. I know a lot of people have...

I've finally fixed the issue. I use Eset NOD32 antivirus software (AV). After reading a post from Google from a chap with a different AV, he uninstalled his AV and it fixed the reinstalling issue. So, I paused my NOD32 and the update said complete and it has not returned. It looks like AV was...

Have you clicked on optimise? You can see it doing TRIM if it is working. Highlight the drive you want to optimise.

Just a final note, I did an in-place install of Windows 11 24H2 (keeping my files and programs) and you know what... It still keeps popping up every time I check for Windows Update. I shall stop beating myself up and wearing out my NVMe M.2 drive which has now dropped to 96% health. I doubt...

Thank you. I installed the latest version of Powershell and got it to run. I rebooted my PC and checked for Windows Updates, but alas, it is still trying to install on every check. I'm going to call it a day now. Basic users should not have to jump through hoops to fix issues introduced by MS...

I'm not having much luck. Firstly, the Defaults page you show is nothing like what I see. But I did manage to get it to point to my desktop. But it won't run.

Sorry to be thick, how do I get powershell to start with Users/name folder? It normally opens with Windows/System32

I ran it as a .bat file (admin). Was that correct? It didn't seem to do anything.

I noticed that your build of Windows 11 Pro is newer than mine. Would that make any difference? You have version 21600 3909 mine is 21600.3775. Am I missing a feature Experience update somewhere? Yours ends with 83.0 and mine ends with 66.0

Thanks. I installed the latest one (there were 2 listed) as administrator but it hasn't fixed it. Thanks for trying.

I tried your code in powershell and it says it downloaded it to C/Program Files/Windows Apps (a hidden folder with access denied). I rebooted my PC and it is still showing up every time I check Windows Update. It says competed, but it doesn't install. It does flash up for less than a second...

Same here :poop:

I'm currently happy with Eset Nod 32, just the basic without all the add-ons.
