Solution: Windows 10 update "Pause" only 3 days

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 16:30:00 +0000

Recently Windows 10 stopped offering up to a month to pause updates. I went to Settings > Updates > Advanced Options > Pause Updates - choose any date. Suddenly it offered only 4 dates. I chose one which wasn't too helpful but it primed the setting for a solution! (Microsoft help was very complicated and confusing.) I had experienced this problem before so decided to share a simple solution.

1. Go back to "Updates" and select "Resume Updates". (this clears the pause setting)

2. Immediately go to > Advanced Options > Pause updates.

Select the drop-down list (you can now see all the dates you need). Select a date and you're done.

Mark Ervin epic paddle of 'The Greater Loop'

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 19:05:00 +0000

June 1, 2022: Mark Fuhrmann, 64, began his solo kayak trip around eastern North America. He started in Halifax, making this gruelling journey 11,000 km, at least 3,800 km longer than the 'Great Loop', which turns north to Montreal Quebec at New York City. His route went up the St. Lawrence River, Ottawa River, Rideau and Trent-Severn Waterways, Georgian Bay, Lake Michigan, Illinois River, Mississippi River, Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Okeechobee Waterway, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and Halifax. Paddling about 40 km (25 mi) per day he planned to arrive back in Halifax by June 2023. His voyage is raising money for Captains Without Borders and Doctors Without Borders. Mark was born in Atikokan, Ontario (where Mike Ranta's also from), has lived in Vancouver and Los Angeles, and now calls Norway home.

UPDATE August 1, 2023: Mark Ervin arrived in Halifax after completing the "Greater Loop" by kayak – about 11,000 km in 14 months. A truly epic achievement!

How to join a Zoom meeting directly from a Windows Shortcut

noreply@blogger.com (Pat Drummond) — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 21:14:00 +0000

Yes, you can join any Zoom meeting without any fuss directly from a Windows Shortcut - without opening your Browser! All you need is the Meeting ID and Password.

When you are provided a link to join a Zoom meeting room, it starts with https, which open your browser, then opens your Zoom app (if you have it installed), then joins the Meeting. But if you already have Zoom installed, these shortcut targets will work just fine and won't bother opening your browser at all. The first joins using the Meeting ID number; the second adds the Meeting Password.
