Just to show another side to this.... I have two computers running DX4WIN 9.09 24x7, one in the shack and the other in the home office. Both computers are relatively modern and have solid state disk drives and lots of memory. I have done nothing special to disable Windows 10 updates. Sometimes I'll kick off an update if I see that one is ready (shutting down DX4WIN first), but other times I'm logged into work or have a bunch of other stuff running and can not reboot. Nonetheless, more often than not, one or both computers will eventually reboot on its own, and DX4WIN will restart *without problems*. It has been this way for years, I have never had a DX4WIN data file corrupted as the result of a Windows 10 update. As they say, your mileage may vary. This is just my own personal experience. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, https://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ 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
