The Tracklogs saga still continues occasionally. My post on Sheffield Forum about it (back in September 2019) brings in the odd user who’s realised Tracklogs is no longer available, and it’s nice to be able to sort them out.

Hmm… After 3 months of trying and failing to install the 1903 update, Windows suddenly decides it can install it… Surprisingly, it worked fine – but the whole process took about 6 hours! Can’t see that it’s given me anything new that’s useful, Classic Shell is no longer working properly (moved to Open Shell), and
