Windows Security System Tray Icon
Mike B
Hi All,
Running the latest Windows 10 Pro 2004...572. I noticed
this morning that the Windows Security icon is missing from the system tray and
the icon on / off checkbox is missing from the show in the system tray
selections. Is this the new normal, or do I have a problem? Thanks
much.
Take care and stay safe. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers & Rams! Main's Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.

Also, I do have an older 2012 desktop that I've maxed out with upgrades, and I have a $12 Avantree receiver plugged into it for various reasons. If I cared enough about this feature, I would think the cost of an adapter or perhaps even a proper Bluetooth card would be worth it.

Hi.
You should let Vantage handle it. Between it and Windows update you should be golden. A recent update form Windows Update caused my Thinkpad T480s to run hot all the time and only get about 3 hours on battery. I reinstalled windows fresh and that solved it for about 3 weeks until windows update broke it again, having never installed vantage in the first place, so then I knew to blame windows update not vantage. So about 3 weeks of putting up with it, I gave up and installed vantage and checked for updates and it got some, solving the problem. it runs almost uncomfortably cold now and gets about 8 hours on battery active use.
That isn't to say don't let windows update do its thing, just my own experience and I won't be stopping windows update from doing its thing at this point.

Re: Is there a way that I can tell the date a file was first placed in my computer, even if it's moved to another location or drive?
Brian,
I discovered a couple of years ago about the date created and date modified disparity. My W7 machine went south so took it to Best Buy. They cloned the drive so all my data was there. But when I looked at files I was going to open I saw the date created was 7/25/17 which ws the last time I had done a backup before the crash, but the date modified could be as far back as 9/9/99 or even older. I had always wondered why that could happen but now I know to trust the info more on the date modified which will tell me more about the age of thefile.

Re: Optional updates?
Hi,

The "driver flood" is caused by a combination of OEM's and Microsoft, as pointed out by a Windows Latest article published today: https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/10/15/microsoft-explains-why-windows-10-is-pushing-optional-drivers/ In short, the metadata info for a driver is stored inside an inf file, more so for drivers from vendors with additional OEM tweaks (say, an intel driver with HP tweaks added). As pointed out many times, the best source of drivers is the vendor's website. Cheers, Joseph

Hi.
To be honest, this is something I’m curious about. I get lots of music from a service, and I’d like to know when I got it. I am using details view, and I have the date created as my reference. Problem with that is if I move the file to another drive, the date changes to the time it was moved. Is there another date option that will work better?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I have a lot of tutorials where the Date Modified is way more recent than the Date Created because I just keep editing them in place. By contrast, I also have a number of files that have been copied to one or more places, but never touched as far as the contents being modified. In those cases, the Date Modified remains the same on all of them and is whenever, way back when, they last had the content touched, while the Date Created shows the date that the copy came into existence, which is much more recent. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ~ Thomas H.

Interesting. I had sort of noticed this before and thought, ‘well that doesn’t really make sense does it?” and just forgot about it. But it actually does check out, now that I really think about it. You are creating a new file – with the old data.

The answer to this is not reliably if you're using copy and paste to move things around rather than cut and paste. Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ~ Thomas H. Huxley (1876)

The answer to this is not reliably if you're using copy and paste to move things around rather than cut and paste.
But, what you're probably really looking for is the Date Modified date, which will remain unchanged, even for copies, if you haven't literally messed with the file contents with editing software. If you add the Date Modified column to your Details View you will see that very often the Date Modified is ages before the date created when it comes to copied files. I just copied a file that I'd previously copied on the 4th of October (so I'm calling the one from October 4th "the original" in this case). The copy's date created is today, but the Date Modified on both the original and today's copy is in November 2018. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ~ Thomas H.

Re: What's the biggest M.2 SSD that I can get for my Asus Zenbook laptop?
Hamit Campos
Ah so they are different then. My bad. I knew they were in a way
but couldn't remember well enough. So to be clear and thanks for
reminding me Brian. All I was origenaly saying is that as far as I
had remembered it was a connector or memory difference but for the
person's need I couldn't really explain because and perhaps I
misread the message I thought they thought M.2 NV ME was a type of
SSD if you will. I guess then to an extent it is. Thanks for the
reminder. I use to really be up on these things since I watched PC

An M.2 NVME SSD does, indeed, look more like a memory stick than a conventional disc drive, but that was simply an evolution in design. SATA SSDs were developed so that you could "plug n' play" replace existing drives with SSDs. I'm not saying that there are no differences, because there are, and M.2 NVME has significantly faster throughput. But they're both solid state drives. I'd say, by way of analogy, the difference between a SATA SSD and M.2 NVME SSD is akin to the difference between a 5200 RPM HDD and a 7200 RPM HDD. Both SSD technologies are, at their heart, solid state devices just like both of the speeds of HDDs are, at their heart, spinning platter drives. P.S.: The drives I recently had fail were both SATA-type SSDs, Not M.2 NVME -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ~ Thomas H.
