Might be worth noting this appears to be a Windblows 10 issue.

Us 7 users have nothing to fear....... apart from the gazillion other holes in windows.

Loved Win 7 on all of my 10+computers as soon as it came out in 2009
RIP almost as I have it on 3 still. Hated Win 10 but it has changed from its horrible start.

"14 January 2020

Windows 7 is due to reach End Of Life (EOL) on 14 January 2020, but a large number of the world's computers, most in corporate environments, are still running the nine-year-old system. Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015, with extended support running till 14 January 2020.

It is still possible to get a free upgrade from Win 7 and 8 to Win 10.
