If I've come to the wrong forum, I apologize, but I don't understand what's what.

I've run the grid on a Win 7 machine for a long time, and I still do.

Recently, I purchased a new laptop running Win 10 (to replace an old laptop running some version of Windows, but I forget which one). I downloaded the code, and set out to specify the usage parameters; then I saw a notice that doing so locally would override what I'd specified on the web, so I stopped (or at least I think I did), believing that the web specs had served me well for a long time. (My old laptop ran the grid flawlessly for a long time, too.)

On Win 10, I'm getting unwanted periodic full-screen reports on Mapping Cancer Markers, probably one of my projects, indicating n% completed on my computer. I don't want to see this report (or any other unless I explicitly ask for it), but I don't know how to suppress it. On Win 7, I see a menu of several things that I can display, and none of them that I'm aware of just appear without request.

On Win 10, when I click on the icon in the tray, I get a display that says I've chosen Mapping Cancer Markers as a task, but the pull-down list does not allow me to choose anything else ... like none.

What am I failing to understand?

Thanks.
