Re: [libreoffice-users] MS Anniversary upgrade warning - not LO issue

This laptop, has had "normal" upgrades.  I never seen the upgrade icon 
that was "hidden" in the app stack on the right side of the task bar.  I 
was looking to halt/exit an app that keeps trying to run and slow down 
the booting.  So far, I have not seen it on this laptop.  So, maybe the 
Win10 "professional" laptop shows up first, or not. This laptop is a 
Win10 "home" version - Win7 professional upgraded to Win10's version, 
and Win7 Home went to Win10's version of that type of system.
