For those people whom are having Win 10 update problems you might want to try this. This saved my butt when my music computer would not update correctly.
1-search for command prompt
2-right click on it and run as administrator
3-in command prompt type "net stop wuauser" then press enter
4-when #3 is finished type "net stop bits" then press enter
5-go to C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder
6-delete the folder contents
7-there may be more SoftwareDistribution folders - if so delete those folder contents
(note if you are having problems deleting them just restart the computer. Also you can rename the folder contents to .BAK for backup)
When you are ready to turn on the updates then repeat the above #3-4, but change the word stop to start. It may take a while for Win 10 updates the first time you run them as Win 10 must establish what you already have.
Note do not type the quotes, just the data between them.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanks, Mario! I'm bookmarking this for the future.
Here's one backatcha: I started having trouble re-organizing/moving around my favorites/bookmarks after the recent summer update. When I just tried to close and re-open Edge, I got a warning message that said "Edge is being used for sharing" which, in this day and age, can get you paranoid. Something I never wanted or turned on. Since you can't turn off sharing from the Sharing Icon (upper roght-hand corner of Edge), I finally did track down a short video that showed me how to turn off the sharing. Here are the steps:
Window Menu->Settings-->Privacy
Scroll down the App Permissions menu in the left frame and select "Background Apps"
You can then turn off all the background apps or individually select the ones you don't want/need running (and, surprise---there may be a crapload).
This seems to have resolved the Edge issue and some other flakey behaviors. There was lot of stuff running in the background that I didn't opt for, want, or need.

Thanx Paj! I had forgotten about that. I turned off quite a few a long time ago but I see there were some more added since then. I turned off those I did not want to run in the background.

Free and from a German guy i really appreciate ... F Fiddler, this is a neat little program. Thanx for sharing it. But it has a different purpose. If your Win 10 updates will not install correctly your program will not help whereas mine will. BOTH are good to have.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
