    I haven't copied it electronically, but this is the full text in its latest version:

    "The newest Windows feature update is here

    "It's ready to install - with new features and apps, this one could take a little longer than other updates. You decide when to make it happen!

    "Ready? Restart now. Not ready? Pick a time that works for you.
    _______ _________ _______
    " /Restart/ /Pick a time/ /Snooze/ "

    If possible, personally, I would try a system Reset. Files should be able to be saved, maybe not some apps.

    Settings/UpdateRecovery/Reset

    Or a System Restore System Restore Windows 10

    I don't think this is a virus. This is exactly what happened when my laptop received the creator's update.

    We started with a red background which was certainly not a Microsoft creation. I credit the expertise found here for allowing a non-geek to reach the point where an infection was removed (either in the 16 GB data cleaning, the removal of Trojans which windows defender labeled severe or in the 75 "possibly unwanted programs" Malwearbytes quarantined). That made the update safe enough to run, and the specimen update notice made the noticed update safe enough to trust. The action of the update notice in freezing the screen and disabling Task Master continue to make the notice, as cleaned, a Microsoft created abomination.

    Problem solved.

    Thanks to all for your patience and expertise.

    At a guess, the freezing was a leftover effect put in place by the malware to protect its own red notice, which then froze the MS one too. Without that the genuine item should have let you click on 'Snooze' to clear it...
