the "blank" xananews.chm occurred on my windows 7 pc, but in windows 11 pc works fine; windows 11 is unnecessarily complicated and less user-friendly
than its predecessors, e.g., to install a program from "unknown publisher"
it makes you click personalize ... privacy & security ... windows security ...reputation-based protection ... app & browser control ... check app and files ... switch (temporarily, rather permanently) to "off" ... and voila! (whether or not that fixes your "blank" xananews.chm anomaly, i cannot say) also, and every program i've tested that runs on win 7 also runs on win 11,
but some essential programs, like tor browser, will soon nix win 7 support
