The update nags are getting really annoying. I am using the Slim version.

Thanks Dave.

I must be missing something. I've taken those steps but still get the reminder.

That's why I didn't use hostman years ago. How do I disable that "feature?" Also, the hostman version on the MVPS website is: HostsMan_4.7.105.zip I found that I had an old saved copy from 2019 that is a later version: HostsMan_4.8.106_installer.zip I'm not sure which to use.

Staying at v5.73 for the time being.

I think the URL to the MVPS website is coded into HostsXpert. Not sure I can change that. I ended up doing it manually.

Strange. I tried to update using HostsXpert like usual and I get an error that says it cannot connect to the website. I'll have to try again later.

Yup. I wondered what happened to the "old" forum and Google led me here. Updated the bookmark.

FWIW Mozilla just told us it will use Rust directly within Firefox rather than in a separate Servo project: "Going forward, we will be writing many new browser components in Rust directly in Firefox rather than in a separate project." Tweet from The Register:

Got it. Thanks for keeping me up to date @hazelnut HostsXpert still working on Windows 10 1909. I haven't updated to 2004 yet, so...

Keeping my fingers crossed that HostsXpert continues to work.

Thanks for the reminder @hazelnut Got it downloaded & installed.

I'm holding off after reading this zdnet article: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-2004-were-already-looking-into-these-10-issues-says-microsoft/

After reading this zdnet article, I will NOT be installing Windows 10 2004 even though it's sitting on my PCs ready to be downloaded and installed. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-2004-were-already-looking-into-these-10-issues-says-microsoft/
