Comments:
THE CONTEST STARTED AS MY WIFE’S BIRTHDAY BRUNCH N3DPB WAS WINDING DOWN. WE
HAD A WIDE AGE RANGE OF PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED OPS WHO BRAVED THE SNOW, THE ICE,
AND THE SLEET THAT HAD A GREAT TIME WITH WONDERFUL FOOD. AT THE END OF 2019 THE
NINE WINDOWS 7 PRO COMPUTERS IN THE RADIO ROOM WERE UP GRADED TO WINDOWS 10 PRO.
THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE WAS PERMANENTLY TURNED OFF WHICH CAN BE DONE IN WINDOWS 10
PRO ON ALL BUT ONE MACHINE WHICH I MISSED. THREE HOURS INTO THE CONTEST THAT
MACHINE DECIDED TO DO AN AUTO UPDATE ON IT’S OWN AND SHUT IT’S SELF DOWN.
THEN WHEN WE BROUGHT IT BACK UP IT DID MORE UPDATING. THREE TO FOUR HOURS
LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. AT THAT POINT THE AUTO UPDATE WAS PERMANENTLY
DISABLED AND WE HAD NO PROBLEMS THE REMAINDER OF THE CONTEST PLUS THE COMPUTE
HAS RUN AN ADDITIONAL 10 HOURS WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN. NOW EACH MACHINE CAN BE
UPDATED MANUALLY AT MY CHOICE. DESPITE AN INCREASE OF SWR ON ALL ANTENNAS
BECAUSE OF A LAYER OF ICE THE EQUIPMENT PERFORMED WELL. TNX TO ALL WHO
CONTACTED US.
