Today the "windows 8 to 10 laptop" I use down here a couple of times a week went through a major update.

TWO HOURS of "getting windows ready...." then two restarts and all that crap.

But now it's sitting on the other side of the table with task manager running, and I get to watch "Antimalware service executable" compete with "microsoft compatibility telemetry" and "edge update" and "microsoft windows search indexer" AND "service host: windows update" for enough resources to run.

The combination has redlined system resources several times.

And, no, nothing else is running, just the windows 10 crap. It won't do anything else for at least a couple of hours. Trust me on that one.

Here's to hoping windows 10 end of support is the end of this sort of fun.

And this is another reason why I will have nothing to do with any computer (desktop/laptop/smartphone/tablet/etc.) that runs on Windows.

The systems' run good but God the updates are just shit. And God forbid you skip an update period....
