    Allot of updates last year are highly demanding on disk usage, windows ten is getting a monster in startups every startup. 10-15 min wait until u can get started is a real pain. Linux total time 2 get going 3 min with bootup . Whats more nagging that you have to do more work to get the renamed or renewed installed **** killed from auto running.

    I had like 6 windows with that name popup on my screen I closed all except one just to see, and it said it failed, and I was confused on what it was and I thought I had a virus because if you look up anything around the lines of "sedlauncher" on YouTube it pops up with videos on viruses and how to remove them.
