Thanks! I haven't. But it's my understanding that there's no way to keep Microsoft's updates from running, short of keeping a Windows box offline. If I took your suggestion, I expect the same thing would happen a day or two later, and it would KEEP happening.

Since I'm dependent now on MS Access and have dug in my heels refusing to learn yet another version, I think I have to dedicate a computer to MS Office related purposes.

I'd intended to do this anyway, so it's no big deal. I'm sick of seeing fast computers become slow within a year or two of their being bought. Going offline with them corrects the system degradation problem too. I won't even have to install antivirus software on these machines so long as I'm careful about the thumb drives and DVDs I put in them.

De,
Have you ever looked at using 'AOMEI Bakupper ?

It can create a bootable USB stick designed to re-install your hard drive (with AOMEI). It can back up the System, a Disk, or a partition.

I use a relatively small C drive and a much bigger internal drive for data storage. With AOMEI I can create a 'backup file' of the entire C drive and store it on the data drive. Then create the bootable USB (with AOMEI) on a 64 gig flash drive. Copy the C drive backup file to the USB. Swap out the C Drive for a new blank drive, boot off the USB and restore the C Drive.

If microsnot fouls up your machine . . . Just restore the backup.

By the way, back while I was working the Guru told me to use AOMEI. We set it up to automatically backup the machine . . . One day I got bit by a Ransomware attack . . . Booted off the USB, restored off the backup file, and was right back in business.

Zim.
