Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Aah The M$ answer, why didn't I think of that?

It's probably because they never cleaned up properly, when adding all the "Great! New! Features!" of winio, so they probably access a function for multi-disc zip files in a millennia-old library, without having fully disconnected it from another function (either in the same library or another), which is no longer in use -- so it won't go away because there's nothing to terminate it.
There are lots of such "added extras" in winio, which is why pop-ups, taskbars, and other basic screen objects sometimes behave oddly.

added extras? no. yet more proof it's built on top of the old code base.
(wasn't there some bug just last month that also was in every versions of windows up to 10 in which they admitted it was from some really old win2k code STILL used inside w10, and forgot who it was trying to convince me a month or so back that they had rewritten almost the entire thing.)

Well, they have rewritten almost the entire thing. Except what they haven't.

I'll admit though it's lighter
... they no longer provide a manual, and more recently often not even a CD

You can always turn it around and use the undo function.

Ummm... Ummm...
I'm sure that you are aware that Pinocchio was made of the wood of pine and oak trees.
But I hope you would also be aware that his sister was made from the protective fluid which is produced by some other trees.
So, no splinters.

You just reminded me of something I was meaning to ask of a Welshman, having unique expertise in the subject.
It was related to rubbing their rod with wool and what type of discharge resulted if they then decided to ground it . . .
But I decided not to ask just yet.
