The sighted may not see this except for perhaps a mouse position move,
but blind users, if reading a document, find it stops the reading, as
it changes the focus of the carat.
Similar things can happen if some alert is displayed, but there is no
alert, so I did wonder if this was in readiness for a mega nag after
the end of January to **** off users.

Mine stopped updating ages ago. Now even the antivirus program (Security
Essentials) refuses to update its virus definitions. The machine
continues to work all right.

Strange. Mine updates every week, but it is the Pro version so that may
explain it.

Yup Win 7 still gets updates (until 14th Jan next year). He probably has
a broken windows update mechanism (or one that was knobbled by malware).

(the troubleshooter can often fix windows update issues).

Failing that, download the Win 10 media creation tool and let it
"update" the current machine - it will give you an upgrade install of
win 10 without losing programs and data.
