Did you save any restore points by any chance?
System Restore can make fixing things much easier sometimes.

Trial and error, indeed. An instruction book would be 10 miles thick. One day it worked, the next poof! Of course, the keyboard is the cats’ major highway to everywhere so they’re always messing things up so who knows.
Mr. b is on Linux.
look in Settings, Windows update. That should tell your update history.
The Windows 11 script kiddies have a habit of changing your stuff without asking you with their forced updates.
I had to do System Restore several times to get rid of their “updates”, until I stumbled across a way to stop the auto updates which they cram down our throats.
Yeah, but on my machine System Restore sucks up 3 hours of my life with the chance that it won’t work.
Good tip, though - it’s what I had to do to get the system back the way I wanted it - 3 or 4 times.
Great idea but it won’t restore before a few days ago.
Oh cats... Lol
I guess that should always be the first question to ask...
“Do you own a cat?” lol
Well Linux is not cat proof either... :)
Go to the command prompt window
Back out until just the : C> prompt.
Type in [DEL *.*] and hit return.
Problem solved.
How many Restore points have you got? My machine shows May 5th as the oldest.
Ignore Cletus D. Yokel - he’s just funnin’ ya.
That’s a Delete All command.
Well, FRiends, I’ve bother y’all enough tonight and appreciate your help and ideas. Great ideas! Thank you very much.
It does it itself. There are 2, from about last week it decided I should have for some reason.
If you right click on the date and time in the bottom lower right hand corner, you should be able to access Notifications in Settings.
Yes, those are the required FR answers, LOL.
I have Windows 11, and when I right click on the date and time, I get two choices in Settings - Adjust Date and Time, and Notifications settings.
De rigueur.
Did you right click on the date and time?
Yeah, I lied about May 5th - my oldest is May 12th.
Thanks for making me check the oldest, though! :)
So you have a real bytehead with you and he can't help?
My oldest is May 29 and this was happening 4-6 weeks or so ago. No, can’t right click a date.
HA!
