It's ok. I cleared the browser cookies for the site and it disappeared again. But still very odd ..........

Ok so I use firefox to save logins and password, For one site I have two or three different logins, but a fourth one has appeared that is definitely not one set by me. And I can't seem to remove it. The username isn't an email address - it's a long string of letters and numbers, and so is the...

So I guess the key is - unplug your computer when there's a lightning storm! I kind of knew that in the back of my mind at the time but somehow didn't do it! Preoccupied.

I don't know. But I know when we were on holiday once there was a big thunderstorm and lightning directly over the village. Pretty sure it came into the house as there was a big flash! Every single wifi router and TV in the village was rendered inoperable! There was one gadget in the house...

Really sorry. Anything can go wrong anywhere. I had something similar a couple of years ago. Lightning storm - computer plugged into an extension cable without surge protection. I did retrieve the data. Another time my external drive with images and file backups got corrupted before I had...

Thanks. Switching it off for a while meant I could get to the desktop again and I installed the latest Intel graphics driver. Windows update later suggested a different graphics driver, which I've ignored - because it did that recently on my main laptop and made it worse! Anyway it seems to...

Nope. It's no good. Turned the laptop on again later and screen flashing - now black screen again. This doesn't bode well if I have to upgrade to it in October. Maybe needs a different graphics driver - if I can actually see to change it.

During update Yes I ended up switching it off and on again. It started doing something then and saying it was updating. Took ages. But does seem ok now. At least the touchpad works! Last time I tried 24H2 on this laptop, the touchpad wouldn't work. Haven't really done much on it as yet...

So after waiting a few months, I decided to let my spare laptop (which is identical to my main laptop) update to 24H2. I've been left with a black screen and a large white pointer. Hmm, I'll wait a bit longer and see if it rights itself. It just had an install of 23H2 on it and no files or...

I'm not even signed into Office :-) The is the outlook web email I mean.

It still nags you in outlook email though, even when it's uninstalled!

Why would it stop troublesome updates?

By the way how long is 23H2 supported? Is it just until October?

I think it's an Instagram thing - I've been getting the same recently. If you right click on the post and select to open in a private window, it should open though. I suspect they are trying to force people to use the mobile version. There are various things you can only do on the mobile...

I just keep pausing updates for five weeks. Then pausing them again :-)
