WaasMedic Agent Exe stopping me from working

So I just ordered a SSD as I have finally given up on this brick with 1TB SATA. When it's delivered, I'm curious about this part of your post....

But still, to be safe, I moved "Documents", "Pictures", "Music" and "Videos" to the hard drive that used to be to boot volume

Did you install windows and programs on the SSD, and leave the other SATA drive in place and just change where windows boots from and access files from your SATA drive?

Would you provide some additional info as I was planning to rebuild everything on the new 1TB SSD. I would really like them to not be able to mine my data so I'm super interested in how to achieve this.

I have been experiencing this for almost a year, and Dell has been good to me in trying to solve the issue, but I was the one that came across this thread and sent it to them. In the past, they replaced my new computer with another model, replaced mother boards, replaced hard drives multiple times, but still 100% disk. Now... they are telling me, after reading this thread to go SSD, but won't provide one for free. I don't blame them since it's MS, not Dell Hardware, so I had to buy an SSD for this 1 year old computer and I can only hope that from this thread, that it fixes the problem.

First of all, as I posted ages ago, a Microsloth employee actually said the assumption that WaasMedic was an update repair tool was false despite its "Properties" description. The clear implication is that it is actually designed to do something MS does NOT want you to figure out. On my system it did not restrict itself to perusing update file directories; it always read EVERY FILE IN MY UID after going through the system files. Since I have over 20,000 photos plus "side-car" files for each from various photo processing applications, WaasMedic would run for over an hour making the machine unusable for 40 to 90 mins after boot. Clearly, despite all my privacy settings, MS was building a detailed profile of my system but for what purpose?

Since the trend since Windows XP has been to reduce user-confgurability, force the user to give up more system control directly to Microsloth, cede more privacy rights to MS, and trick users to connect directly with MS servers (SkyDrive, OneDrive, Office / Microsoft 365, MS account to install / activate) if possible, for the entire time the system is powered up, the assumption that Windows will become a subscription service is probably a very good one. The point is the <removed> they have users by are the ones users unwittingly handed to them by letting slide all the privacy violations, monopolistic unfair business practices, and flat out lying they have done with impunity (WaasMedic being a prime example).

I only escaped WaasMedic impacts with the installation of an SSD about two weeks ago. My experience seems to confirm that WaasMedic on an SSD surveys VERY FEW files on a boot drive hosted on SSD. I cannot get Task Manager / Resource Monitor up fast enough to even catch it running. But still, to be safe, I moved "Documents", "Pictures", "Music" and "Videos" to the hard drive that used to be to boot volume. Now along with two separate RAID volumes, WaasMedic does not seem to access any personal files anymore.

So why would MS want us all on SSDs? Simple. They can mega-load the OS with spyware, marketware, MS Store apps all of which auto-start at boot time, yet users will not be "bothered" by the 30-secs to 1 minute SSD boot-up time. Purpose of all the fatware? To be able to capture your every keystroke, screen state, app activation, media file usage etc. etc. IOW, to have full-time, all-action surveillance of your system usage logged on their servers. The excuse? "Microsoft has innovated Windows to the first cloud-based Operating System, so like any other utility it needs to fully monitor usage for proper QoS to give its users the best experience." (Putting on waders as the MS BS is getting so deep.)

The government will not do its job and break-up or stand up to the monopoly. So, there is only one choice - Linux.

Ok I just booted my media server which has a fresh install of 21H1 and nothing but Spotify installed. No other programs, no browsers, no security software, nothing. WaaS ran for over 8 minutes reading files in the Windows>Servicing>LCU>Package for Rollup Fix folders of which there are now three all containing the same files. This is a fresh install of the latest version of Windows so there is nothing to fix which is supposedly what WaaS is doing. The only conclusion is that the WaaS run in intentionally designed to wear out hard drives in order to force us to purchase SSDs or to buy new computers all together. The only real long term solution is to switch to Linux as Windows 11 will not run on many of our computers and as mentioned there's a good chance that Windows will become a subscription service. After all WaaS stands for Windows as a Service. They have already announced Windows 365. The fact that this problem has been largely ignored here says to me there will be no fix for the WaaS virus.

Because of Microsoft lack of any response at all I reckon its all a forerunner in readiness for when Microsoft will start charging everyone an Annual Fee for their Operating System usage, by which time they will have everyone by the testicles. After all, they have already done it with Microsoft Office haven't they
