Is this bizarre behaviour due to running Never 10? It seems like some grotesque punishment for my disobedience.
To quote me.
I'm wondering what's going on as I'm now installing 'Net Framework 4 6 1.'
Yes, I gave it permission to press on with this download, just to see where this is all going. Remember, the Rivetess' answer was to turn off updates despite my protests, and her computer wasn't used since before Christmas. But, the download time has been about what I'd expect to write the code, not just send it to me.
Anyway, I'll continue to play this game until a big face comes on the screen and tells me Steve Gibson is on the naughty cushion - and I'm on W10 . . . with no drivers.
