AndreTen, thanks for the additional reply. I do not have SQL server installed. I looked through Reliability History in Control Panel for two days surrounding the date of the pop-up and clicked on View Technical Details for each item. I did not see v2210.0 anywhere. I hope to be able to click...

Rollback_Jockey, thank you so much! I had not thought of doing that. In Programs and Features I don't see see "2210.0" in the Version field. So, apparently whatever got updated to v2210.0 is not a 'program'.

AndreTen, thanks for the helpful reply! I was unaware of the function that you pointed out. I did as you suggested, and it has narrowed down the possibilities. I don't see any notification dates/times, but the item at the top of the most recent list is Settings.

Problem statement: I got a pop-up windows that reported a software update, but I cannot determine which software was involved. See graphic, below. System specs. Hardware: Victus by HP 15L Gaming Desktop PC Product number: 49N24AV. 32 GB RAM. Software: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, updated earlier...

Thanks, Denis. Unfortunately, I had already started down a different path before I saw your post.

TechnoMage2021, Wow, that's cool! I didn't know that such a thing as Micro 11 existed. That's very interesting (I used to be a techie [not with PCs] although I am in my 70s now and have few brain cells still firing).

Thanks freeBooter!

Hi All. I got things working using ghot's Method 2 plus logging into Microsoft during the 'startup dialog' rather than doing 'I'll log into Microsoft later'. Thanks to all of you for the great help. I'll mark the thread solved.

I have no idea.

Thanks for the reply and explanation, Denis.

Thanks for the reply, trumpy81.

Ghot, thanks for the reply. I read Method 1, and I'm trying it now.

Thanks very much for the reply. No, I did not use the 'remove everything' option, and I can now see that was my mistake. Until I can solve the defaultuser0 issue, it does not seem to be possible to redo the recovery operation, since I'm now stuck at the Windows login screen.

I bought a new HP Windows 11 laptop a couple days ago and went through the setup procedure and got it working. Going through the startup dialog I set a system password. I then messed something up and did a system recovery. The system recovery appeared to go without error. Everything seems to...

That's a great idea! Thanks. I have done manual tweaks to the registry from time to time, but I have yet to do a merge, although I can see the value.
