Microsoft insists that it is essential that you download this latest buggy update for both Windows 10 and 11. Two of the eighty "fixes" are deemed critical and have been given the ""Zero-day" rating which is the most serious type of flaw.

I personally have too much time and money invested in software that need Windows to give it a complete heave hoe anytime soon. But both of the computers that I use primarily have now been setup to dual boot Windows 10 and the latest version of Ubuntu Studio (Linux). I try to spend a little time each day doing tasks with Ubuntu Studio and its bundled packages. I have also been searching for additional Linux software to replace what I am currently using in the future.

Oh and the Edge Browser is now sporting a new Bing AI chat button in its toolbar. Getting rid of it is not straight forward, but there are directions to ditch it in several ways if you look it up.

I get latest Win 10 updates and so far no problems here. My PC can’t support Win 11 or so they tell me. I still have my backup music PC working on XP but it doesn’t seem to like the internet much. ha ha

I guess that was yesterday according to the article date and the fact my laptop took most of the day chugging away to finish the silly thing. I selected update and shutdown since the day was gone by the time Microsoft pulled their heads out of my laptop’s butt again. And again. And again and again

Endless updates

Window 10 was the same way. Down load updates and watch your computer slow down. Boot times increased dramatically.

The update last week screwed up my computer so bad that I had to remove the damn thing and “pause” all future updates. I need to use my computer, not spend all my time figuring out what the hell they did to it and how I can fix it. The update last week was crap. I’m using Windows 11 because it was in my laptop when I bought it. It’s crap.

I turn on my Windows computer basically 2 - 3 days a year. I do my taxes on it, and that is it.

The patches it installs take hours. Then I have to find out all of the dang privacy issues it gave me, and turn those off.

I went from being a strong Microsoft supporter to despising them, as Windows 8 came into view.

My computer is a dual-boot, with Linux Mint as the default boot sequence. I don't like the way it works, either, but at least it seems a clumsy Windows XP-like environment, only with worse software. Still, it doesn't have the privacy nightmare Windows does, at least.

This sounds like a replay of a very old issue.

After a negative experience of 22H2 with Explore Patcher etc. (required to fix MS negative "improvements") then I reverted back to 22H1 and prevented any upgrade for now. And for me, Linux would take more time for it to compare with such customization I do with Windows, if it could be.
