I've read this entire thread, from beginning to end.
It is clear that: (a) Microsoft's 2004 Win 10 version is junk; (b) Microsoft's engineers knew - or should have known - that the 2004 Win 10 version was junk; (c) Microsoft's contempt for its users (victims) is unlimited.
I've lost passwords, bookmarks, etc. I will try to go back to the prior version of Win 10.
Those, at Microsoft, who have inflicted on us this horrendous "upgrade" need to be weighed-down with anchor chain, taken out beyond the 1,000 fathom line, and dropped into the Pacific.
There is no other way to be sure that such depraved persons no longer will be able to make and issue catastrophically defective products and misrepresent them as "upgrades".
Microsoft's engineers are a modern version of the 19th Century "snake oil" sellers, who misrepresented their concoctions as "medicine". By so doing, they injured many.
Lesson learned. Wait a full year after an MS "upgrade" offer and Google before installing it, to make sure that it, too, is not poisonous.
