This appeared on my PCs under optional updates, so had go and get it.

Which will require new, expensive machines, the cost of which will be much greater than upgrading your existing machines to be compliant.

Finally realized what's happening. When you specify the date as ddd?MM/dd/yyyy it's whatever you've used in the ? field that Excel is using as the delimiter. Suspect it's probably working by accident rather than design ....

Just found what to me is a satisfactory solution. Specify your short date as ddd/MM/dd/yyyy and then it appears in the tray as Sun/02/18/2024, and is also correct in Excel with the '/'. Wife's PC has Excel 2016 (has Home and Business 2016 installed locally) and it works correctly now too.

I've tried making the same change as you and I get the day on the taskbar with the time. But with Excel (Office 2021) dates, the '/' is replaced by ',' - ie it now shows 18,02,2024 for todays date (UK format).

For a cumulative update, Windows first works out what parts of it you need so that the download can be tailored accordingly. I suspect a lot of the time is spent doing that, rather than actually downloading. I noticed an update recently where the download seemed to be stuck on 7%, and then...

Now fixed.

Now fixed.

I'm using the free edition 8.0.7690. It's now telling me version 8.0.7783 is available for download, but when I try that, I get HTTP Error 403, which means authentication was refused by the server.

You can set your device to being a trusted device. I've done that for my desktop PC for both Ebay and Paypal and now rarely get sent a code via text.

My PC installed OK. Wife's PC, with same hardware, spent 20-25 minutes stuck on installing at 70%, then spent similar length of time after reboot stuck on 0% installing. No idea why but thankfully PC is back up.

MS did say there would a delay of a couple of weeks before the MCT would be updated to 23H2.

The 3 systems I have which were on version 23H2 22631.2428 with Release Preview have all been offered the update. They were on Beta a while ago but we're now able to switch back to RP which I did a couple of weeks ago.

So what problem is it causing you that you feel you need to remove one of them?

If I click on Advanced Network Settings, and then open up the adapter I'm interested in, it's there now. Same as post #3. Seems MS has moved it not removed it.
