Occasionally Win 10 downloads silently in background some security updates (on my v1903 system) and prepares them for installation on next reboot. When I click on START Button (for shutdown or restart action) I can see an additional entry "Update and restart" with a red dot in the lower left...

I have an UEFI-based ISO file for a tool on windows (This tool is NOT a WinOS but a separate utility tool). If I burn this ISO onto a DVD and boot it on an UEFI computer (without Secure Boot) everything works. However If I put this ISO with e.g. Rufus onto an USB flash drive then the USB flash...

After some re-configurations/installations files for some file extensions do not show the file icons of their corresponding programs any more in Windows Explorer. E.g. *.html file icons show not the Firefox thumbnails. How can I "refresh" the icon look again? Peter

Ok, thank you. But how does your "hosts" workaround work in details? Lets say I want to connect from my notebook to a remote shared folder over IPv6 with a command like net use w: \\111.222.0.33\myshare /persistent:no The remote computer understands (only) IPv6 What do I have to put into...
