I'm not familiar with this version, but I really like the way it thickens the plot  William Blake would be quite "at home" with this version ... ref. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" circa 1790CE :
"Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy."
cheers, Bill

Maybe because it's my divination, and I don't talk about it much.
It's pretty damned obvious, though. I can't believe that people can believe that God and the angels are the good guys.
They're the Axis, but they beat the Allies, so the Allies have gone down in history as the bad guys, no matter how nonsensical it is to believe that the Holocaust was just a "learning experience".

No wonder you don't like "Christianity." You don't know anything about it. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

There is none so blind.
And we've already proven that I know more about your religion than you do -- Hell, it doesn't look like you've even read the bible!

Just got this as a mail (excerpt):
Quote: This important expiration notification proposal notifies you about the expiration notice of your domain registration for redacted.net search engine optimization submission.
Yeah.. right..
Quote: If you fail to complete your domain name registration redacted.net search engine optimization service by the expiration date, may result in the cancellation of this search engine optimization domain name notification proposal notice.
I sure hope so. But I fear it may not.

Ah, the first of many "final" notices you think?

Yup. Once any search-engine-related site gets a hold of you, they stick like Gloo.

If you hit Winkey+S, then type "upd", one of the options should be "View installed updates".
I haven't had any updates for weeks, but all the ones that were installed before I brought the hammer down are there.

Thanks for the hint.
1. When I followed Winkey + S and typed "upd" cortana appeared and did nothing.
2. I clicked the (Start button window icon) and then typed "upd" and had quite a few options but none of them seemed to be the correct one.
I took a snapshot (posted at my web site -- really wish CP supported inline images):

Inconsistent
So, can we rant about Win10 not being consistent too?

No idea why anybody thinks Search (Win + S) is the way to go here.
Settings > Update & Recovery > Advanced Options > View Update History
Not rocket science. Most recent update on my system is Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3140741) on 23 March
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Um, because the path you listed has changed three times since Win 10 was released, and there is no way of knowing if the update being discussed changed it again.

I don't think it has. The tip I just looked up to confirm is dated April 2015.

It must have gone full circle, then. Nothing ever seems to be in the same place twice, when I look.

The Advanced Update Options (the option above the selected one in your screenshot) should* take you to a page where there might be the View Installed Updates screen (which may have a completely different name, by now, but it should have "installed" or "History" in it)
* I say "should", because there's no guarantee that they haven't moved everything around, again -- God knows, they've got no time to fix bugs whilst they're busy playing "Musical Menus"

You were actually correct and i did the initial search incorrectly.
I had to type at the bottom of the Cortana window (there's an odd looking edit box which isn't obvious).
Anyways, I got to the Advanced options and it had all the choices including viewing the recent updates.
And, astonishingly, it says I haven't been updated since 3/25 and it was a Visual Studio update.
Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't be surprised if the update that gave you the pop-up was an update that hides updates, or something like that -- in fact, very little would surprise me, these days (except for something going right in Win 10, of course).

Yeah, I'm still not sure what the popup was about -- reason it distracted me is that it popped up a couple of times.
However, I believe the second image I showed (http://raddev.us/images/winupd2.png[^]) was trying to show me :
LAST RUN DATE (but no action was necessary).
Meaning that it ran but didn't do anything. 
Howevever, all of that was terribly misleading and a severe waste of time (of course).

After thinking about your comment more, I searched my system for "recent" to see if I'd get anything.
Now, at least I can see that at 12:06pm today Microsoft did do something.
Something... 
http://raddev.us/images/winupd2.png[^]
Microsoft, why are you being so cryptic? Is it because you will help me any time my system has a problem so I needn't worry? 
Microsoft's Infinite Wisdom
And doesn't it seem extremely smart of Microsoft to run an update right in the middle of the day, while I'm working on my machine so if there is any problem then it can crush my performance and cause me not to be able to use my computer?
EDIT
Wait It Gets Better
I clicked the link on the settings to alter the time maintenance runs since I hadn't managed it before I guessed it was my fault that it is set to run at noon. Hahaha, the jokes on me. It's not set to run at noon...

Oh, Microsoft, you've finally doggone gone and done it!!! I hate you!!!

It means that system updated Microsoft the latest copy of all your files and activity logs?
