I don't have a battery icon, would this be because its a mains power pc?

Hi, So I used to be able to saved a file I downloaded from the net to a destination of my choice on the computer in Linux Ubuntu however after updating the system the browser no longer lets me do this. I even tried downloading from the original deb packages but that doesn't let me save anywhere...

The problem is which perhaps people have also overlooked is that whilst you can cleanly shut down whilst logged into either linux or windows by pressing the power button, pressing the power button does not shut the computer down cleanly if you are not logged in as that requires some kind of...

Thanks.. WOWSERS

Windows 10 21h1 the problem isn't defender and update in themselves the problem I have it takes away my processing power during the virus scan and it takes ages for the updates to install.

ok done the reset, however update defer is only giving 35 days. its better than nothing but still crap imho given I dont use windows much and if they chuck out an update per month then i still am screwed. does it limit it to the point it wont do automatic scans then? Thanks for your time on this.

I now have 0x80073701 and am following...

Omg I actually found the feature and it would not let me use it on account there were updates available and they were apparently compulsory.. Furthermore its cumulative So that's now my computer gone for the half an hour it takes to install it. Aggggghhhhhhh

Thanks for this I appreciate your help. Does this keep real-time scanning in place? What about the updates do you have any idea how to disable that?

Thank you for your response however it only gives scan type options not the facility to stop it entirely. I believe its doing it every time I Start up the pc, also what is an ongoing issue I have not found any success in, is to stop the computer from running automatic updates, I rarely use...

So as you can see when I type a word it creates a suggestion for an image as a representation of the word however I don't like this as I'm forever hitting the wrong button accidentally and after typing a lengthy sentence I then have to prat about removing the images. Does anyone know what this...
