Useful Freeware Utilities

I had an issue with a KB update for my Windows 10 media server. That particular update would advertise Windows 11 but needed a keyboard response to remind me later. At that point it stopped Remote Desktop from working and I had to physically get access to the PC in the loft to clock that away.
The utility I used to then control my updates, or defer or block them....

Windows Automatic Updates Manager

WAU Manager - A replacement for the Windows update interface. Get full control of the Windows updates

WAU Manager, seemed to work a treat.
 
Does anyone know of a good alternative to packet tracer, but in a browser? I want to do some simple demonstrations for work, however the circumstances are making it difficult to get local software approved for install.

:edit: Free please :p

When I had Win 10 pro on my old build. I made a reflect free boot disc iso. Can I use that to back up my Win 11?

May work fine
I can't remember how many years ago
I had the shadow copy issue

If possible I make a new recovery usb
Every now and then though
For one thing if you have changed hardware
It can add new drivers to the recovery usb/iso
 
Can anybody recommend a free and lightweight reminder? I need something small and not overly complicated for such a simple task.

Would Google calendar be any use to you? ;) I'd be lost without it these days. You can set reminders easily, make groups up to share events with others, which is excellent for family events and things.
