    Yay! Not! This is the fourth time I've had to undo Windows 10 update whatever-this-is. It gets stuck on 'Cleaning up.' Could it be because Steam was installed, and a new keyboard since the last update? Who knows. My bet is on the ever declining quality on MS's side. X| X| X|

      Makes me think of the song "The clean up woman":

      Quote:

      The clean up woman will wipe his blues away She'll give him plenty lovin' 24 hours a day

      :-\

        I have windows updates paused until 29th July. This morning when I turned on the laptop, it showed the Dell logo as usual, then the screen went black. Just black. For several minutes. Even the caps lock light not responding. After about 6 minutes I gave up and held the power button. Same again; but this time after about 3 minutes it woke up and showed "Preparing to clean up: 0%". About 15 minutes later I got a working system; no, I got a waking-up system that proceeded to update Skype and meant I had to re-open everything I was doing. "Update history" shows absolutely nothing updated today, but still tells me it won't update until the 29th. Thankfully I wasn't in a hurry, but that's not the point. Why can't they make things work?

          Given how AI can do some pretty sophisticated stuff, you'd think updating Windows would be pretty easy in comparison... Maybe this is what Microsoft needs to spend its ChatGPT budget on.

            I'm beginning (well, not really ...beginning...) to think they don't care any more.
