Windows 10: Why is it that you can't answer a question properly?

Every time that Microsoft decides we need more BS installed that we didn't ask for Copilot, Cortana, etc., it is trotted out as "This new thing we just added is something that "Windows" is installed with." or, in the case of Copilot, is a "built-in feature" which is odd, because when I first got the computer, it never had Copilot on it.

Answer to question

You've posted 5 questions:

1. On January 15, you posted "Word 2013 document too large in windows10"; Stefan Blom replied on January 16 and you marked his reply as the answer to your question
2. On January 18, you posted "Word documents sent to cloud"; there have been 11 replies to that question and on January 19, you marked Jay Freedman's reply as the answer and replied "Got it! Thanks!"
3. On February 6, you posted "Windows 7 updates"; I replied on Feb 6 and you replied "Ok, thanks!"
4. On March 31, you posted "Windows 7 updates" which is essentially identical to the question you posted on February 6. It appears that user PINGROSHEKKA replied to your post but that reply was split into its own separate thread by a Volunteer Moderator because
   rather than being a reply to you, user PINGROSHEKKA asked an unrelated question.
   
5. Finally, today you posted "Answer to question"; Frederik Long has replied twice.

I would be glad to clarify my February 6 reply to your question if you explain your confusion. If you've received new updates on your Windows 7 computer since February 6, open Windows Update, click the link for "View update history" and list the updates
you're confused about.

The following, for example, are the updates I've received since February 6 on a Windows 7 system. Although it looks like a lot of updates, they are, in fact, the very updates listed in my February 6 reply:

• "signature" updates for Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender; in the list below, these are the different "versions" of KB915597
  
• for another Microsoft product installed on your computer, such as Microsoft Office 2016;
  in the list below, these are
  • the February and March versions of the "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" KB 890830
  • update for Microsoft Word 2016
  • update for Microsoft Office 2016
  • update for Microsoft Skype for Business 2016
  • update for Microsoft Outlook 2016
  • update for Microsoft Excel 2016
