    Hi,

    Windows 10 is far the slowest Windows version ever! There is a lot of files .exe (runtimebroker, compatibilitytelemetry and etc) with high consuming of disk and CPU also.

    On a traditional HD we should wait almost 07min before try to log in due to high disk usage.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It's impossible to use it without SSD disk!

    What worked for me was to stop Sedlauncher  in Windows Task Scheduler. Use Windows key + r and then type taskschd.msc . Unfold the treeview on the left and go to Microsoft > Windows > rempl . In the middle pane right click on

    'shell' and select disable.

    I experienced the the same problem, sedlauncher using up all disk w/r capacities. But after a while - surprise! - it stopped. While I cannot confirm that Windows 10 is the slowest, I don't see any speed enhancements, least of all do I see any enhancements in Microsofts communication policy. 

    I'd very much appreciate detailed information about every KB prior to installation so that I can decide for myself if I need it, how urgent it is and if it will require a system restart. And I'd like to get that information locally without having to click on any links.

    In cases of services such as sedlauncher getting ready to work - wouldn't it be just great to get a notofication providing options like "start now" or "start later"?

    On the other hand, there's a reason for us using Linux, while having Windows on just one PC.
