@sdetweil, I’m sorry. Can you please highlight where I have the error? I am considering reinstalling it as I cannot even update Magic Mirror. I want to back up Config.js, but if it contains faults, then I will be back to square one.

@DarkV ok
now do

cd ~/MagicMirror/MMM-Config
./test-convert.sh override

you should get one message

I used a fresh SD card for the reinstallation, but some of her modules are incompatible with the new setup. Consequently, my wife has firmly decided to stick with the current version until her modules stop functioning. Unfortunately, since one of the modules doesn’t work with the old MagicMirror version, I’m at an impasse. It is a pity, I wanted this as due to dyslexia, this would have been perfect for my situation

@DarkV can you show the top of the modules/defaul/updatenotification/updatenotification.js
make sure the defaults section is shown

you know you never edit any of the MagicMirror source or module source

all config goes in config/config.js and all css goes in css/custom.css

@DarkV yes i understand

lets restore the updatenotification module file

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/default/updatenotification/updatenotification.js

then lets edit config.js to disable the module

 {
      module:"updatenotification",
      position:"top_bar",
      disabled:true
  },
