Hi folks, 

 

I have acquired six free months of Coursera. I don't know what to study - I
have become a dinosaur, but I'm not ready to retire quite yet. 

 

I've written about Microsoft business software my entire career. I'd like to
improve upon those skills rather than start from scratch. I'm too old for
that. But, I'm not opposed to learning something out of the Microsoft
sphere, if it's widely used. 

 

Cybersecurity and AI seem to be THE place to be, but honestly, I don't think
I'm smart enough to tackle either. 

 

Any recommendations? 

 

Susan Harkins

What do you want to do with the knowledge you're going to gain from
coursera? Write software? Write about technical issues that Coursera would
bring you up to speed on? Consult? Teach?

The answer to that question might make it clearer what to study.

Dear Lists:

I recently upgraded to W11 - fine OS. No complaints. Except...

I came in this morning to find that the comp restarted overnight - lost all
my open tabs in Edge.

I have the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" setting
set to 'off'. Update history shows no updates May 6.

So, does anyone know why it might have done a restart, and/or how I can
stop it from restarting without asking?

Hi Rocky

You'll find all the options under Options, Windows Update, Advanced.
You should turn off your computer at night to save energy.
Your latest pages (history) can be found in Edge if you press Ctrl+H.

Gustav:

I have "Get the updates as soon as they're available" set to off. But in
any event, the latest restart occurred on a day when there was no update.
The last update was on 4/19. I don't see any other way to stop the
restarts.

But the Ctrl+H tip will be very handy in the event the update happens again
without my permissions.

Thanks

Rocky
