Oh, well I'm just repeating what I heard from a friend. *shrug* Guess I was wrong.

Nice lady and singer, and does a lot for the world through her charities. I was surprised to hear about her Confederate-themed diner. It has changed formats, and is not (as?) offensive from other articles I've read, so she listened to criticism and is growing. Gotta respect that, too. I wish her well.

That's totally on brand. She's a class act. I don't expect her to be perfect, but she always seems to want to do right by the world - going out of her way to. I admire that about her immensely.

If you know her life history, especially early on, she was made of very tough stuff. Class act indeed.

When I visited Gatlinburg on the way to the Smoky Mountains I was told that no matter what political affiliation you have in Tennessee. "No one speaks bad about Dolly".

Wait - you mean the actress from that one episode of "The Orville"[^] is going to start a music career?

Same for Keneau Reeves. They are both legendary, and they are humble.

I cannot find a suitable forum for this question, so please forgive me for posting it here, or please suggest where I ought to be posting it.
Yesterday I got a prompt saying something about a security risk that malicious programs could overwrite protected storage locations and a link to a windows setting to switch on a hardware setting to prevent this happening. I cannot remember the exact details. I clicked the link and switched on the hardware feature.
Now, every time I start Windows, whether from a reboot or after an inactivity time out, I get a message box titled 'System Setting Change' with the message 'Your hardware settings have changed. Please reboot your computer for these changes to take effect !!'. I have searched the Settings menus and cannot see anything that looks like a setting related to this change. Further reboots have no effect.
Googling suggests that it is caused by changing AMD Graphics Cards. I am reluctant to touch that as the graphics card is part of the processor (AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics (4 core)).

Run a full malware scan, including a boot time scan. Also take a look at Edge's configuration (notifications) and the notifications configuration of any other browsers you have installed.

I can suggest you to try asking, with more detail, also in
SuperUser
or
ServerFault
As my opinion: try to track down the executable that gives you the warning and search eventually in msconfig to disable it.

This sniffs of malware, right from the popup. I've never heard of Windows popping up such a dialog. THe first mistake was not Googling the EXACT message that came up.
The second mistake was clicking that link.
Your machine is now likely infected with malware now. I would suggest getting a few pieces of anti-virus software to scan the machine.

And then avoiding all of the promoted and/or scam links that would make up most of the first page of results.

This.
Quote: something about a security risk that malicious programs could overwrite protected storage locations and a link to a windows setting to switch on a hardware setting to prevent this happening.
So the setting was turned on, but the program was then run anyway...rather than just not running the program at all...?

Don't worry about the "L" - it's not "collateral".

A lumberjack once told me he’s cut down 27,572 trees.
“How do ya know exactly how many?” I inquired.
“Easy. I keep a log.”

I can't help but go there...
Assuming he's just cutting down a single tree every day, but works every day of the year. 27,572 trees / 365 days in a year means it took him 75 years to do that...never taking a day off. How old is this lumberjack?
More realistically, he's cutting down way more than a single tree in day. But, unless he's merely clearing brush, the whole process for a single tree, from start to finish, can still take an entire morning, if not more, depending on the size of the tree (cutting it down is just the first step...). Of course I'm talking about one guy, with a chainsaw. Not the sort of $$$ machinery that can take down huge trees in seconds.
But okay, enough nerding out...
