Thank you all for your inputs.

I did the restore to a previous point via Lenovo’s (or maybe windows 10 safe mode via delete/F2 during startup) and restored to Thursday June 7 restore point and it fixed everything…

After windows reloaded with working hardware keyboard again, created a new restore point…

BLF for life…

Don’t forget to turn off Windows update, or it Will happen again.

@CNCMan, I would not advise doing this.

Do updates on specified hours.

Or do, as I do, and only use Windows for gaming, and use Lubuntu for everything else, except for Excel too.

Lubuntu, compared to even Windows on an SSD, is crazy fast. It boots in like 2 seconds, and there isn’t any lag in the system, unlike Windows sometimes.

Thanks CN and enderman…

You could turn it off, disable it, delete the .exe, turn on “metered access”, all the usual tricks, and it’ll STILL come back to bite you when you least want it to.

M$Widows is the Borg of OSes.

This took some digging. Apparently there are three types of ZWB glass. It’s a model number for filters manufactured by Optima, a Japanese optics(?) company.

” BlueSwordM ” You are correct for most peoples needs. My Wife worked at a computer repair shop once and we learned a few things about Windows. So one thing that does help is to only do updates when you are prepared to, several restore points made, back up important info, and a some time in case things get screwed up. You can do updates every 6 months or more. I have not done an update in years with no problems, but then again, I don’t play games on it, just surf the net.

Thank you!

Which tripod mount do you guys recommend for the blf gt and astrolux mf04… thanks.

I just got a new flashlight. I noticed there was some little dust particles on the lens on the inside. So I took the bezel off and cleaned the glass on both sides with a microfiber towel. While I was doing that, dust particles fell into the reflector! How do I get it out of there?? I wish I would have never taken the lens out!

“Canned air”.

Else a little squeezy-bulb thing like to clean camera lenses would work. Just never ever ever touch the reflector.

Don’t touch it with what? Fingers, or the microfiber towel?

Don’t touch it with anything.

Where can I find a replace switch boot for my Eagletac D25A Ti? It’s currently torn and I want to try other channels before going to Eagletac.

Welp. I guess I made my first major newb mistake. I thought a soft microfiber towel would be OK for that but I guess not. It left some fine scratches. Light is still bright so I’m just gonna reassemble it and leave it alone. Lesson learned unfortunately.

What flashlight you have?

SF36.

There are some on KD.
Might not be able to get a white one to fit, think I used one of these on the D25C
