2019-05-18T12:46:23+00:00 All this unnecessary stuff that Microsoft are building into Win 10 is killing its usability for some applications.
In order to deal with this I have had no choice but to go back to using Windows 7 for these jobs as not being able to control what the computer does is not acceptable when you are either running time critical apps or where the setup needs to run for very long periods to process audio and video data.
I have also had to replace an SSHD in a system after only 8 months as it started failing due to the ridiculous amount of usage created by Win 10.
When will Microsoft realise they are systematically killing confidence particularly after the fiasco of Windows 8.
