would the experts recommend I become well acquainted with?

First I will make a prediction: the .vc guys will suggest C++ and
the .csharp guys will suggest C#.
:-)
If you want to write general business apps, then I will suggest C#.
If you have special requirements for real time, embedded, device
driver programming and similar then go for C++.

Both. I'd choose C++ first because once you learn it C# will be really
easy in comparison. If you want to see immediate results, I'd go for C#
though.
Regards.
I meant which of the two languages C++ or C# should I pursue, if I don't
already have projects I have to support in either one. If I I have to give
support for an application I created in one of those two languages, then
that is the language I have to be most familiar with. Once I use the
language in a substantial project I have to support, I am committed to that
language.

This is a religious issue and it really depends on what you plan on doing.
That said, for "general-purpose" programming in the Windows world, C# is
usually the way to go these days IMO. I believe the trend has been strongly
moving in that direction for a period of years now. Note (FWIW) that I spent
many years in the C++ trenches.

Java. :)
C++ is well past its heyday. C# is (in my opinion) the best-designed of the
3 languages but is very similar to Java, which is more widely used; you
should at least be acquainted with it.
Does C# have as much meticulous control over the micro matters as C++ does?

Hi,
I read that ASP.NET uses VB.NET instead of VBScript. I also read that
ASP.NET is a subset of VB.NET. So if I learn VB.NET first then do I have the
knowledge for programming ASP.NET applications or do I need to learn both
VB.NET and ASP.NET.
Thank you.

From what I've read of OOP, I don't get it. I have also found some

However, those articles were no more objective than the descriptions of
OOP I've read in making a case. Ie., what objective
data/studies/research indicates that a particular problem can be solved
more quickly by the programmer, or that the solution is more efficient

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
