Security update this morning
I use my computers as I would any tool. Turn it on, do a job, switch it off again. I don't spend hours trawling through the Event logs. I had enough of that when I worked in IT ...... 😉

March 26, 2024—KB5035941 (OS Build 19045.4239) Preview
The above (linked page) update makes no mention of the Co-pilot app that will appear in the system tray. Fortunately if you don't want it (I don't) it can be uninstalled. I wish they'd knock it off with irrelevant faddy rubbish, but that's probably too much to expect.
netio.sys seems to have stopped giving me a BSOD at least. IRQ not equal and various others for no apparent reason.
I'm back on the BSODS.🙄

Got this one the other day:
April 9, 2024-KB5037036 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2
After trawling through Event Viewer and finding nothing wrong with the netio.sys crashes, I found a lot of "information" that winlogon.exe was taking 156 seconds to start; which is one example of a systemwide slowdown. Various services were also taking several seconds to start; slowing things down even more. Having 3 (Chromium based) browsers doesn't help either as Chrome (11), Edge (12) and Avast (10) fire up several instances of themselves chonking into memory as they go.
There were also some interesting things in the Security section* (nothing to with the CVE**) that could fixed (hopefully) by this update, but I'm not holding my breath. I won't go into detail as I could be (unwittingly) causing more problems.
Relying on a competitors browser/open source code isn't a good idea as they slow Microsoft's Windows (95/98/98SE/ME/2000/XP etc) down to a crawl, advertising their own products (e.g Chrome OS/Android) as a speedier alternative.
*if you have VSC (Visual Studio Code) installed.
**See the above link for more details. Bordering on Computer Science.

Microsoft Extended Security Updates for Windows 10
250MB wasn't enough.
I set it to over 2GB which sorted the error, as mentioned above.
On my machine WU was trying to dump 578MB into a 536MB partition. As the installer wants to dump more data it would make sense to extend it. Plus it depends how much of Windows you want to recover. Being a helpful sort of guy, I endeavour to find stuff that is useful to novice users; and the least amount of faffing about. It's also handy if you have only one (system) drive.
The MiniTools program is easier to use than going via the command line; and it doesn't destroy your data, plus you can see it working as it goes.
I have Mini Tools Partition Wizard 12.8 Free installed, so I bit the bullet and decided to give it a go and resize the recovery partition from 536MB to around 2GB to avoid WU complaining. Took around 15 minutes to complete. With better hardware it shouldn't take as long. Fired up WU and it's all good. I don't see why Microsoft can't do the above within an installer, asking the user for permission as it goes.
You'll need some free space on your disk from somewhere else; and it won't destroy your data.
https://www.partitionwizard.com/help/resize-partition.html?from-free-v12120800 explains how to do it.
Brian has a video using both methods:
Let's Fix Windows 10 After Failed Windows Update
With the MiniTools program there only needs to be 2 operations; shrink from unallocated/primary (in my case) and make the recovery partition a little bit bigger. There's no need to delete any partitions.
