   Hi Daryl,   
      
   NA>I absolutely cannot stand the mess that is Windows 10. Three different   
   NA>interfaces glued together on something that phones-home and likes to   
   NA>tell me how and when it will update. No thanks.   
      
   In Windows Pro you can setup how you want the updates in three ways:   
   To only be informed that there is an update available, to choose upload   
   now, and postpone the update to later when it will tell you the next date   
      
   You can also setup if you want, or dont it to tell M$ what you're doing.   
      
   DS>   A fellow ham radio operator refers to Windows 10 as "Satan's   
   DS> Little Sextoy".    
      
   I'm far away from being an expert on Windows 10 but I have learnt some   
   things along the way. I do really favor OS/2 to run my BBS.   
      
   DS>  The one thing I don't like on the 64-bit version (on the laptop)   
   DS> is that it's constantly turning ON the "Focus Assist", and I do NOT   
   DS> want it on.   
      
   I have not had that problem. I'm almost shure I have turned it off some-   
   where.   
      
   DS>   The ONLY reason I upgraded, was because of the security issues.   
      
   Since XP I have used external firewall and antivirus programs since M$   
   was very slow to upgrade their supplied ones.   
      
   Presently I'm using ZoneAlarm as a firewall and AVG as antivirus program   
   both are available as free programs. Recently AVG has added AVG Browser   
   which is a front-end to start my Firefox and also added firewall and VPN   
      
   I have not added the firewall or VPN to my setup but turned off the   
   Windows Defender. Both ZoneAlarm and AVG + AVG Browser have free versions   
   that I'm using. I don't know if AVG's VPN and Firewall are free since I   
   haven't added them yet.
