The simplest solution is staring us in the face and we refuse as a civilization to see it: Set up the rules to reward businesses putting people to work. The transfer solution is doomed by definition, unless & until all economic activity is generated by (ro)bots. Then won't it be exciting watching the war over divvying it up.

FWIW, there is a way to set Scheduled Maintenance to detect issues only, not automatically fix them. This article relates to a known issue with Scheduled Maintenance automatically deleting 'unused' or 'broken' shortcuts (to resources not available at the time of Sch

For home users, turning off Updates is a definite option. In some work environments, however, failing to keep your systems current from a security perspective can potentially subject you to serious, non-trivial, sanctions in the event of a breach. If Windows Update, otherwise known as Murphy, borks something it's just the price of doing business.

In self-defense, we've had to enable automatic important (security) updates on all our workstations (otherwise, they'd never happen if left to the staff to do them manually), but we've made sure the 'Give me recommended...' checkbox has been unchecked.

ODM has in my experience been unreliable in reflecting reality for reasons unknown. I've previously had the exact scenario you describe but with a different application. Uninstalling and reinstalling ODM itself didn't help, either. Seems to have been the experience of at least a limited number of other users, the specific cause(s) probably unique to each system. The thing about ODM is it is a nice way Stardock has made available to manage the OD apps but

[quote]What are the best featured components of the suite of software with which to work first? [/quote] That will depend on a few things, including which Windows OS you are running and what sorts of desktop enhancements appeal to you. Not all the individual applications within the suite are compatible with Windows 10 (yet) and a few may never be. Most are compatible with Windows 7 &/or Windows 8/8.1. A few are legacy apps that are not compatible with
