No offense, but this part of the thread is not about "to get things working right again", but about Windows Home versus Pro (started by questions about the 'Pause updates' setting). And, as I mentioned, but Lawrence keeps stripping/ignoring, 'we', the users in the Windows 11 group (and similar groups) have not encountered the 'can no longer update' 'problem' alleged in the OP, so there is no need "to get things working right again". That should put things in perspective, for those who are willing to have an open mind. It gets quite boring, not to mention pathetic, when people who clearly do not use the stuff or/and know little about it, vent about all the terrible things which are allegedly 'wrong' with The Evil OS. As mentioned before, Windows is not a religion. You don't see 'us' coming up with all kinds of diatribes about everything 'wrong' about Linux. Some of us use both Windows and Linux and 'hence' follow crossposted threads like this. I have a (professional) Unix/UNIX background and still use Cygwin's GNU stuff, hence my interest. Bottom line: Advocacy is fine, zealotry not so much.
