Windows 10: Question about Windows Update Error. Why does my question keep expiring when I don't...

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...essageId=3306b8c6-c298-4720-9614-eae65f3d66f6

See the very bottom of page 4. I had explained that on my laptop, it doesn't show an about tab under "system," but it shows 64 bit on the same screen as system. I was directed to type pc info in the search menu, and then it would show the About info. I did, and it did not show 64 bit. there was a link, and I clicked on it, and it said I needed another app to open something as described at the very bottom of page 4. Prior to the update, I did not need an app to open that. It also keeps showing me pop-ups with a button that says "ok" grayed out. I am not able to close the pop-ups. Please see the link, and let me know why whenever I don't respond to people's responses right away, my questions expire after a couple of days. Microsoft forums are the only forums that stop alerting people. Google community forums don't stop, Apple forums don't stop, Quora doesn't stop, and other forums don't stop. People might be busy, so why does it stop alerting people? For me, I need assistance from another person, and that is why I don't respond right away all of the time. The only problem with Google is that usually nobody responds.


BTW, this is not just a question about why my question is expired, but I want to continue getting help about the previous two threads that are expired. I am getting annoyed that each time that I post that question, that it expires when I don't respond right away.
