The Tale of Windows 10 and its Culture Club Obsession

I've got a problem with Windows 10
it comes and then it goes again
I'm logging on
and then it's 'DONG'
like the timely chime of the Big Ben.

I notice the flashing notification
that leaves so swift, with little patience
and am aggrieved
and less than pleased
with little time to read in the short duration.

I made a plan to be in position
and armed with paper, pen and acute precision
so that next time
I'd write down the line
before it disappears from vision.

So finally I have it smote
because it's written down on a post-it note:
'Windows couldn't connect...'
and I couldn't care less!
I'm all 'Oh. No. How. Will. I. Cope?'

The 'DONG' and the notice
about the Group Policy Service
still bother me
as it won't leave me be
so I tried to find out what the antidote is...

I scoured the forums
and YouTube like a crazed moron
but the specific fix
didn't make the list
of wiki-how vids (due to some weird tech decorum?)

I realise my mistake
(although a little too late)
I should never have ran a Windows 10 update!
But it's all done now
and I don't know
to reverse
the curse
of redundant upgrades.

So just like the song
(and that incessant DONG)
it's karma-karma-karma-chameleon;
it comes and goes
and nobody knows
where the GPCS prompt actually roams...

or why it can't leave me alone!


PS: If you know the fix: sharing is caring ;)
