Credit Card?
Credit Card = Plastic funds
C = one hundred
red = crimson
it = fashion
card = king (as in playing cards)

Way it goes sometimes. Then you go "Oh boll...ther!" (or I do, anyway).

Absolutely spot on!
You are up tomorrow - sorry for the delay in replying, but the lift table on my homemade router station just failed and I was busy swearing ... grawlix, grawlix, grawlix, grawlix!

It happened again today.
I installed a Windows 10 Feature Update (21H1), and lost two (2) of my extra custom context menu items. The two in question pass the selected file name(s) to attrib.exe, a system utility that dates all the way to PC-DOS 1.0.
Strangely, other custom menu items that call command line utilities, a mix of commercially available programs (streams.exe from the SysInternals bundle) and privately developed programs (Date2FN.exe, a command line utility of my own devising that appends the last modified date to the base name of a file) are preserved.
Go figure.

I'm just hypothesizing about this but it just may be that these update have deliberate things like that built in to annoy and distract users whilst some other insidious things are then able to go unnoticed.
Not having Win10 on any system I can't verify that.

It could be that they let the shiny Icon designer do some logical programming for a change.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I suppose that could be the case. However, I suspect it's more likely a benign oversight.

I just took the upgrade to Windows 10 21H1 today, and I've been running it all day.
So far, there has been but one surprise, which is that it seems that the settings on the Colors tab no longer do anything. Instead, you must use the settings on the Terminal tab. Once I figured that out, I restored my Green Screen, and my world is happy again. 👍

Oh, they work. They just aren't restored from wherever they are saved ... under "Properties" or "Defaults".

They were easy to restore, since I had the foresight to export the relevant Registry keys. Nevertheless, it annoys me that I must do so following every Feature Update.

That's odd I'm on 20h2 and Windows tells me I'm up to date.
