[Dx4win] backup

[Kjell W. Strom]

I agree, Mel, even if it looks like Windows Update since a few
months has been modified to withhold the actual installation
until you want to switch off yourself. You never know!

It took several days to sort out the servers at Skype after that
a great number of connected PCs made an update restart at the
same time. That made more of an impression at Microsoft than our
lost log entries.
