Well damn, that would explain it. Thank you, neemobeer, much appreciated.

Good day, folks. I’m having trouble with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on my home-built PC (System One in my specs). Every time I reboot (and often when I don’t), the Startup Type pings back to Manual and the service is stopped. I set it back to Automatic and start the service, but...

Ha! Yep, bobkn, you get ugly, and then you get beige and brown 😂

Hi Mike, You can't go wrong with Noctua: https://noctua.at/en/nh-u12a or, if you'd like something a bit more edgy: https://noctua.at/en/nh-u12a-chromax-black I swear by these. If it's air cooling you want, they're head and shoulders above the rest. If you really want to push the boat out...

Hi Jacee. I've had a look. My installation of G DATA is bang up to date, there doesn't seem to be any issue there. I do appear to be receiving daily signature updates.

Hi PCUser. Yes, I'm definitely missing daily security updates. Only started going south when I manually updated to 24H2.

Howdy all. I committed the cardinal sin of pre-emptively installing 24H2 from a USB drive over October/November 2024, when the usual roll-out was taking too long for my liking. As I now understand it, this left me unable to receive security updates from Microsoft. I have, in truth, not seen a...
