Windows January security update
The Windows January security update will only be shown/applied if a specific registry key exists. The key is supposed to be created by compatible anti-virus programs. If this update is applied with a non-compatible anti-virus program then it is possible that the os will be unable to boot and have to be re-installed. This registry key can be created manually but be aware of the warning!
Note that this security update contains patches for the Meltdown and Spectre security issues - and these will also not be installed without the required registry key being present.

All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.
