As it says. Read it again.
It works on my personal PC, but some time in the last week it stopped working on my work laptop (both Win 10).

Quoted in full and read back multiple times. If you're referring to some other part of the thread, then I must simply have missed it. Not sure there's anything else I can contribute here.

And still you haven't seen what you're missing.

The most obvious answer is to stop using Windows 10.

Ditch windows explorer, and use Directory Opus from GPSoftware instead. You won’t regret it, especially if you remember if from the days of the Amiga

Shouldn't this clue have been saved until 19th September?

I'm not sure what Sept 19th has to do with it: Nov 14th, maybe ...

He most likely thought your clue has something to do with pirates (John Silver). Which somewhat makes sense if you read the sentence and try to interpret it literally. He doesn't see the other gold that goes after silver.

Interesting,
There is a competitive game where the winner could win silver or gold medal that would fit your clue. See if you can find it.

Nov 14th:
National seatbelt day, Family PJ day, Pickle Day and Spicy Guacamole day...
Maybe my answer is very wrong. I shall walk the plank.

I just took an online assessment for a potential new job. It consisted of an IQ test, a motivation assessment and a personality inventory.
The motivation assessment consisted of asking me about 75 times, in 75 different ways, whether I would enjoy doing some interesting intellectual work, or some menial work like filing papers in an office. Each question gave three possible work activities and I was asked to rank them according to the order in which I would prefer to be doing them.
So the HR lady tells me that I got the highest score she's ever seen on the IQ portion of the test, but that I'm not a good fit for their programmer position according to the other parts of the assessment. She said I would be bored with the job.
I have had success at every programming job I have ever had, and here they are telling me that I wouldn't do well at their programming position because of some stupid multiple choice test where every question is devoid of any necessary context. What do they want, robots?
Has anyone else taken such an online assessment? How did you do?

Take a long breath out... relax....
It is an unfortunate facts of life that the HR step to work is a roulette spiced with stupid erroneous personality assessment... Get over it!
(I don't mean it nastily, I mean job hunting is like fishing... sometimes there are no fish, sometimes you have to throw the line many times!)
Fact is, they probably had lots of applicants and found someone else first, or cheaper...

Well it just happened, so I think I still have time to get over it. But I get your point. Thanks.
(She even mentioned that the hiring manager was very interested in my experience. I guess their computer knows better than the hiring manager. )

Last time I was looking for job, all was done in personal meetings - first with the professional team, and then with HR...
However it seems, that like in all learning-related fields (like schools), they try to define a quantitative formula, that enables passing on the decision to some AI-like software... For me it seems like passing on responsibility (which in my experience is the way no-fitting persons deal)...
But! Look at the bright side - she maybe right, and saved you from boredom for the rest of your life
