So I re-enabled Windows Update on the "work" laptop to see if it would solve some other problems. Now every time Windows updates, I get some new junk in the "Apps" folder (mind you, I'm using Classic Start Menu, so I only notice because suddenly Apps is highlighted.
First, it's Candy Crush and something else. A few days later, it's Slack (which I love, but we're using Teams) and Weather.
Microsoft, STOP INSTALLING STUFF I DON'T NEED OR WANT OR USE!!!! 
Time to reactivate NoVirusThanks Win Update Stop.

B...b...but it's the new and improved Candy Crush, with tastier candy, bigger crushers, and all-new icons! Won't you please reconsider?

Isn't this pretty much a classic definition of Malware?
Begs a question: how do you fix malware if your O/S is designed as malware?

Your problem is the third party Classic Start Menu. I'm pretty sure Candy Crush is hiding on my hard drive but I've never seen it in my start menu. Think of Candy Crush as the same type of crapware that every cell phone carrier puts on their "branded" cell phones and ignore it.

And for all the non-christians, Happy Easter. What Easter celebrates is for everyone.

Wouldn't you have to believe that the events celebrated on Easter actually occurred for Easter to have any meaning for you? AFAIK, the events that allegedly occurred between the original Good Friday and Easter are central only to the Christian belief.
I'll stop here before I violate the "no religion" rule.

No. Christ died for everyone, even those that do not believe.

Yeah!
Here are some excellent examples!

Maybe this one?[^]
Actually, you can spend all day seeing how christians celebrated their 'god of love'.
ISIS could be said to have an historical role model.
Or, as an earlier poster put it: No Thanks !

I've always liked geography and I'm hooked on this game.
This is a cool web based game where you guess locations based on a google earth image (starting point)
There is a world wide mode where you have to guess location around the world (obviously) and it show me so many weird and fascinating places.
And by golly, the world is huge; when the starting point is in the middle of the prairies (USA or Canada).

I played a couple of years ago, and the best I got was "less than 2m" away IIRC.

The ups and downs of the temperature this week compared to the previous day...
Reaching 30 C and dropping to 11 C...
And my head exploding...

Cool. The artist who draws that comic (Mike Peters) got his start in Dayton Ohio. He gave the commencement address when I got my bachelor's degree. I loved a story he told about a teacher who told him "Mister Peters, you will never get anywhere drawing funny little pictures!"

We were in Jerusalem at this time two years ago. I don't think the temperature ever dropped much below 20 during the day. And even warmer down around Tiberias.

I would call this average
+ rain and snow every other day...
