Not buying anymore Windows OS computers. They are going to replace the disk again.) Starting several days ago, it what in retrospect looks a lot like the final minutes of my desk-top, my lap-top wants to run Windows Update and I am now thinking that it thinks I am not on 10! as opposed to a patch update. In a power-up boot yesterday something Windows Update-ish ran in spite of my scheduling it as far into the future as it would let me. Does anybody know a way to get somebody's attention at Microsoft without waiting many hours on-queue with credit card in hand? A newsgroup of a "forum" that isn't just spam, trolls, and bullsheet? I would really just like to to my work.
