   So far nothing really to note, though it's usually a couple of days before problem reports start getting published. Win11's Subsystem for Android got a big update through the store, *if* that matters to anyone.

   Oddly, since the update my computer has froze three times when booting up any game.

   To close down I have to use the off button, Ctrl-Alt-Del or Alt+F4 (to close my frozen game) are inaccessible. I have a multi monitor set up and none of the monitors are accessible when this has happened.

   A friend I play cooperative games with has had the same issue. Wondering whether it was the update because I've never had this issue before.

   Haven't seen anything like that reported [yet], but it shouldn't be too hard to uninstall the updates to find out. I don't think there was anything Super critical included in the fixes -- the most serious vulnerability I think wasn't rated critical. FWIW, after updating on Patch Tuesday I always do a full image backup, so if a problem crops up later in the month, or after the next Patch Tuesday, it's easy peasy to restore that earlier backup.

   I don't know if it's related but this is certainly bizarre. Yesterday I came home and turned on my monitor (I had not turned the computer off) and a bunch of my desktop icons had disappeared. Most of them were on the bottom row but there are also two right above the bottom row that are missing. I turned off the computer last night fully expecting everything to be restored when I powered up again today but the same ones are still missing. The problem is I don't remember where the original exe files are on my computer to create shortcuts again. Any ideas on wby they disappeared and how to restore them?

   Thanks as always.

   UPDATE. I decided to look in the recycle bin and they were all there and I was able to restore them. I never deleted them so I have no idea why that happened. Crazy.

   Gremlins!

   Seriously though, might want to run a virus scan, & keep your eyes open for any unusual activity. The only thing I can think of otherwise is some Windows optimization app [if you have one installed] performing a routine scan and somehow going wrong. Everything else I can think of would have taken all the icons, &/or they would not have been in the Recycle Bin.
