…that some things are a tad harder to figure out at 75 than they are when you’re 7.
Yup, Billy 11 again. This time I decided to see how that Bluetooth thingy works on 11. All pairing went okay and a file from Billy 11 to the tablet went smoothly. However, reversing the exercise resulted in the tablet ‘saying’, no connection.
Now this is obviously something a seven year old would figure in seconds but it took me, myself and I almost a full rainy morning to figure out. The trick, which I vaguely remember from Billy 10, is to do a clicky on the taskbar Bluetooth icon, select receive, then click send on the tablet. Do I need Bluetooth? Absolutely, I use it about twice a year. No, I just wanted to figure it out. Pointless really as I’ll have forgotten how I did it as soon as next Monday. Such is old age... and please excuse me if I typed the below as recently as yesterday.
Another Billy observation for you should you get it and I sure don’t remember this in 10. I was just looking and found a folder overflowing. AppData/Local/Temp. Bravely, I deleted all except for that days date, just in case, and had no adverse results. That’s me, up to you.
That was a week ago; today it’s crowded again and, spookily, some files are dated 2018... Is this because I did a bit of menu bar editing in Soft Office 2018? No idea so I done did delete them all without any adverse effects - at time of typing.
One more tip{?} and this goes back a ways. I found a virus scan was taking longer and longer to complete so did a bit o’ digging.
Have a look in Windows/Servicing/LCU. You see RollupFix? Seems you get a new one every time Windows does an update and the cleaver coding kiddies haven’t figured out how to delete old fixes. Or they want you to not know about it so the mother ship can keep an eye on you.
Okay, they don’t hurt anything but if you like a ‘clean’ machine, these folders are huge and it would seem to be safe - after an update and your machine is ticking over okay - to delete these folders. Me? I play the caution card and just delete the old one keeping the current folder as a just in case.
Anyhoo, just found a song that could’ve been composed for me and my age of memories...

Now that you have committed the solution to text in a blog, all you have to do is remember, eeerr, that eeerr , you put it somewhere safe.
Doonhamer,
Good point. Now I just need to remember what info it was I put somewhere safe. So safe I have no idea where 'safe' actually is. Better post this before I forget why I'm here...
