There are solutions out there to disable automatic reboot after updates even on Win10 Home edition, but they involve manually editing the registry, so make sure you know what you're doing if you decide to go that way. 73, Zoran WA7AA __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] Warning Win 10 updates, Very important.
Yesterday I went from the shack to the kitchen for dinner. I left DX4Win running, as I usually do, to see if any new bands or modes are spotted. When I came back to the shack DX4Win was closed and the desktop was showing. I had to log back in with my password to restart DX4Win. I immediately got a warning that that DX4Win was corrupted. I just want you all to be aware this could happen to you. When Windows 10 wants to do an update it gives you a warning and if you are not in front of your PC to see that warning it will very rudely shut down any program that is running. Luckily I had just save a copy of the SAVE directory because I had just finished entering roughly 200 new QSL cards that I had received. Had I not saved when I did I would have lost all those QSLs that I entered! Of course as I enter the cards I put them away in alpa/numerical order with the other thousands of cards I keep in a card cabinet I would have never found them all to reenter them. Also, don't walk away from your PC without closing DX4Win or any other programs.
