Hi all,
I use SmartCAM, a relatively rare CAM software but I know there's some other users on the forum. I'm sticking with Win7 for the time being, which MS has declared "we ain't updating no more", which for me is just fine.
Except that's a lie. They did push an update (even though my setting should have stopped it), late at night with a auto-restart that I just caught before it rebooted my computer.
It was to install Edge, which I have no desire for, so when I noticed it trying to restart the computer I stopped it, went into updates, and attempted to uninstall KB4567409 (Edge).
The uninstall seems to have worked (not that I trust MS), but in the process it borked my install of SC, which now declares it can't start, then dies. I'll have to reinstall and get a new activation code, which of course will have to wait for Monday.
F'ing Microsoft - this is why I don't want to migrate to Win10 or whatever follows...
