Dolly Parton is 77 today. 
I'm not really a fan of her music, but I adore her just the same.
Edit: I just found out:
She's getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Her reaction was "I guess I better actually make a Rock & Roll album". And she is.
Ha!
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

 She is a legend for sure. Love the music she made with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

She's an example of how celebrities should be.

This.
I don't mind some country music, but TBH there's only so much of her albums I can take.
That being said, I would NOT let anyone say a single bad word about her. As a human being, she's what a lot of people should aspire to be.

My kids have all benefitted from her Imagination Library, so I certainly have some admiration for her.
A friend of mine works at her theme park, Dollywood. He's mentioned that she's quite a lovely and respectful person.

If I remember correctly she's turned down a nomination to the Hall of Fame several times.

(Joke aside, this is one of my favorite songs. Especially the Miley's cover).

And the story behind it[^] is so much Dolly Parton... truly an icon.

She was officially inducted on November 5 last year.

Oh, well I'm just repeating what I heard from a friend. *shrug* Guess I was wrong.

Nice lady and singer, and does a lot for the world through her charities. I was surprised to hear about her Confederate-themed diner. It has changed formats, and is not (as?) offensive from other articles I've read, so she listened to criticism and is growing. Gotta respect that, too. I wish her well.

That's totally on brand. She's a class act. I don't expect her to be perfect, but she always seems to want to do right by the world - going out of her way to. I admire that about her immensely.

If you know her life history, especially early on, she was made of very tough stuff. Class act indeed.

When I visited Gatlinburg on the way to the Smoky Mountains I was told that no matter what political affiliation you have in Tennessee. "No one speaks bad about Dolly".

So you have some freedom of speech, but it doesn't go that far ...

Wait - you mean the actress from that one episode of "The Orville"[^] is going to start a music career?

If you were on the side of the road, Dolly Parton would stop and help change your tire.
Same for Keneau Reeves. They are both legendary, and they are humble.
There is your nugget - be humble.

I cannot find a suitable forum for this question, so please forgive me for posting it here, or please suggest where I ought to be posting it.
Yesterday I got a prompt saying something about a security risk that malicious programs could overwrite protected storage locations and a link to a windows setting to switch on a hardware setting to prevent this happening. I cannot remember the exact details. I clicked the link and switched on the hardware feature.
Now, every time I start Windows, whether from a reboot or after an inactivity time out, I get a message box titled 'System Setting Change' with the message 'Your hardware settings have changed. Please reboot your computer for these changes to take effect !!'. I have searched the Settings menus and cannot see anything that looks like a setting related to this change. Further reboots have no effect.
Googling suggests that it is caused by changing AMD Graphics Cards. I am reluctant to touch that as the graphics card is part of the processor (AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics (4 core)).

Run a full malware scan, including a boot time scan. Also take a look at Edge's configuration (notifications) and the notifications configuration of any other browsers you have installed.

I can suggest you to try asking, with more detail, also in
SuperUser
or
ServerFault
As my opinion: try to track down the executable that gives you the warning and search eventually in msconfig to disable it.

This sniffs of malware, right from the popup. I've never heard of Windows popping up such a dialog. THe first mistake was not Googling the EXACT message that came up.
The second mistake was clicking that link.
Your machine is now likely infected with malware now. I would suggest getting a few pieces of anti-virus software to scan the machine.
