    Such routins often start when i really least of all want it. Very disturbing, slowing down my tourny-bullet chess (one game in one minute) and can cause me losing the game and miss the first price..

    Doesnt Microsoft understand that the users want do decide themselves when such (probably needless) routines shall NOT run

    Im happy learning Ubuntu and will  try to completely leave this struggle-world called Windows. Then programmers will listen.

    (Im myself an ex programmer, assembler specialist 1984 - 1988)

    Guys, some troll moderating the support section has hidden this thread. You can't find it anymore using the search engine on the top right corner, and you need to use an outside search engine to find it. So don't expect any support from Microsoft.

    It's not the first time I hear that Micrsoft spyware  are responsible for frying  SSDs. I sslo noticed a second thing: whenever someone is running Win10 on a rather aging computer (I'm talking about age, not specs. I've seen one built frome 10+ years old components beating some currently sold at Costco.) the useless apps (sedlauncher, runtimebroker, compattel) seem to run on loop quite a lot more often. I'd like to remind you that Microsoft has priors why it comes to sabotaging user machines in order to force them to get a new one (remember Win 95 updating itself now and then to then refuse to launch with a message saying that this or that component was no longer supported, or MS pressuring gaming studios to add a line to newly released games to run an OS check and refuse to launch unless running Windows 95 even if the game was coded in Dos4WG).
