Hi all I noticed a week back that when I tried to run my System Update, the entire application would crash and I couldn't access any updates. I kind of ignored this, hoping that it would go away.

Hi all, I was using my flash drive a few days ago when I finished up and clicked on the "safely remove hardware" icon on my taskbar.

Hi all.
