Cancel Submit. Method 1: Refer to the following steps and check if they are helpful. Click on Start button and click on H elp and Support from the list. On the Windows Help and Support window, click on Options. Click OK and close the window. If the issue still exists, try Method 2. Method 2: I would suggest you to start the computer in a selective startup mode with only necessary Microsoft services and programs in operation, to check if the issue is due to any third party software.
Cursing profoundly and with deep hatred for Microsoft, I turned the computer back on and started Windows normally. Turns out that everything was okay and all the updates installed correctly somehow. Also turns out that I was correct about not trusting the updates because despite already having disable this warning which, IIRC, MS already attempted to fool me into putting on my computer, they have snuck it in again.
I plan to air-gap my Windows 7 computer and set up another computer running some Linux distro for accessing the internet. I will not give up my legacy applications, buy into forced Windows updates or allow hidden telemetry via hardened IP addresses at a sub-kernal level, all of which a move to Windows 10 would mandate.
All giants have and will find an end; the dinos have and Mircrosoft you know who i mean may get there. Finally MS should have had the idea to let users have the option to convert to a Linux with a W10 Screen. I moved from 7 seven years ago to 8, which sucked for a year until 8.
If Microsoft had offered an in-place update to Windows 10, I would have installed it already. I suspect that the same is true for many other Windows 7 users. If Microsoft is unhappy with the number of people still using Windows 7, they can look in the mirror for the cause. Since that service is likely to cost at least half as much as a new laptop, and since I definitely need a working laptop for a project this coming week, I acceded to the inevitable and bought a refurbished Windows 10 machine.
Another one bites the dust! Already migrated my family to lubuntu. Life is good. They work just fine. I will continue to us commercial protection software. The Win10 machine still runs fine on the first OS it came with. My thanks to all of you who contribute to this site. It is a very enjoyable read. The following comment is a little off topic, but is related to the end of life for Win 7, this article seemed to be the most appropriate and recent place to post this.
On one particular YT channel [which shall remain nameless], the presenter seems to be suffering from a satanic obsession with Chrome Books as a suitable replacement, to give you an idea of what this sounds like, repeat the following in a voice as closely approximating a parrot as you can.
By now you cannot fail to have noticed, that this kind of content gets very tedious, very quickly! The intention of this remote switch, is to inform the user that their current model needs to be replaced due to security and vulnerability issues, in essence, Google remotely switches off your CB, which is their way of telling you to buy a new one.
The cycle of obsolescence is set to five or six years, and to my mind this is outrageous! For those whom already have a Chrome Book, this may be bad news, but, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining, with a little research and some ingenuity, a Chrome Book can be used to install and run Linux : so all is not lost, come that fateful day, when your CB suddenly dies, for no apparent reason.

For instance, if you are using Chrome to read this content, pressing the F1 key immediately opens the Google Chrome Help page in a new tab. You could also try it on any other app; for instance, Microsoft Word. It will immediately open the Word Help experience. But guess what, you can disable the F1 key anytime you want.
There might be no particular reason for doing this, but it sure is a neat trick to have in the bag. Just in case. You should note that editing the Windows Registry is a risky process. It could be compared to performing brain surgery, but on your machine. The registry is a database that contains the essential settings required for your OS to function.
The slightest error can cause your system to crash. We therefore suggest that you create a system restore point before making any changes in the Windows registry. System Restore creates recovery checkpoints automatically when it detects system changes. After creating a system restore point, you can now go ahead and make changes that will disable the F1 key on your computer.

Because Internet Explorer remains installed on the computer after you disable it, you should continue to install security updates that apply to Internet Explorer.
