NEW UPDATES - JULY

NEW UPDATES - JULY

We've made it past Patch Tuesday without much disaster this month. Thank you, Microsoft.

If your computer seems sluggish and unresponsive, check to see if it's downloading the huge Creators Update for Windows 10. This update will take a few hours and the best way to keep it from bothering you is to let it finish. Don't close the lid to your laptop or let your desktop go to sleep if it's working on a big Microsoft Update. If you do, your computer will be in a perpetual state of trying to download, install and finish the update. Here's how to check for Microsoft Updates in Windows 10:

In the search (Cortana) box type update, then click on Check for updates in the results list. If you see "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1703" is downloading, bingo - you're getting the Creators Update. Let it happen. Remember, Windows 10 is the last version of Windows and will simply be updated more frequently.

OTHER UPDATES
iTunes, Java, Flash, Adobe AIR and CCleaner have new updates. If you have the Ninite Updater installed you can run it to get all but the CCleaner update. You'll need to go to the web site to download the new version of CCleaner, but READ CAREFULLY and don't be mislead into buying the Pro version. use the free version.

BACKUPS
Time to check your data backup to be sure anything you don't want to lose is being copied somewhere off your computer. It's a great feeling to know your photos and documents are safe until you go to retrieve something and find the backup failed long ago.
