    Im 69 years old, during the 80:s an assembler specialist and knew a lot of hardware. I finally found that all this with computers and mobiles, internet and trolls, all of it is a tool for dark forces/money and destroying peoples lifes. First step to release a bit is to leave all Microsoft products. Change the mobile to an iphone to not always be followed by gurgle. Next step is to learn Ubuntu or some other linux variant. and last and best is to leave it all and start the real life in the nature. Forget the whole s-ti found this myself, not listening to the profecys that tell the same.

    I don't, as it comes with advertisement and is a moderate strain on your performance if you don't own a high-end PC. Worse, upon a false positive,  you get spammed out of your mind by "Geek Buddy" advertisements offering you to deal with the threat for $24,99. And, if like me you're into (legit) nostalgiaware, you're in for 2 or 3 false positives per hour.

    I got rid of sedlauncher.exe the same way I do with all Microsoft spyware:

    -Kill all relevant tasks in the task manager;

    -Assume ownership of the .exe;

    -Give yourself full control;

    -Delete the .exe;

    -Have CCleaner go over the loose ends in the registry;

    -Repeat next month when Microsoft will illicitly reinstall said spyware without your knowledge nor consent.

    I'd suggest going a bit further. Go to said folder, change ownership of the whole folder to current user, then delete it.

    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!

    Ok I know that this is a useless comment and I'm being a bit of a smart aleck, but an SSD is a solid state drive and an HDD is a hard disk drive, so an SSD isn't a disk
