I finally cured the issue of not seeing the Legacy News or Updates on the Home Page - thanks to lots of help/suggestions from Legacy Support. The issue finally turned out to be an unknown setting in Internet Explorer that was blocking Legacy from making a call to IE. I went into the Settings and on every possible page I pressed the "Reset" button - there were quite a few. After that everything worked again. No idea why this happened as I never use IE and hadn't changed any settings for years. Whether there was a small change in the way Legacy called IE for the Home Page, or whether it was related to the "1909" update to Windows 10 is a mystery. But glad everything works again. Note - changing the browser in Legacy options 11.1 makes no difference, since the home page access always uses IE via a system call.
Like Ian, I only use Windows Defender now as it is considered to offer better protection. But it isn't always very easy to "tweak" Jack -----Original Message----- From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: 23 January 2020 01:58 To: Legacy User Group <legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Defender That is a precautionary feature of Windows / Windows Defender - which you have correctly responded to, Jack. Windows Defender gives that response to any executable / installer that hasn't been "marked" to enable an "over-ride". You can make an alteration to Windows that always allows an installer to go ahead - but clicking to allow installation is seldom a worry or inconvenience to me, so I leave things as they are. Long ago (7 years+) I abandoned all the paid anti-malware products, and the free versions like AVG, because Windows for a long time has had more than adequate protection via its built-in products, especially since Windows 8/8.1/10. But in my opinion, anyone persisting with Windows 7 is foolhardy. I.L.

Windows wouldn't run it as was blocked by Windows Defender. Managed to override this by "run anyway". Updated OK, but won't allow any access to the internet when running. Presumably there is a setting in Windows Defender that needs to be altered. Tried a couple of them but these haven't cured it. Any ideas?

Same for Legacy News on the home page. I am connected and even restarted my machine in case there was a glitch. Is there a problem at the Legacy end?
