In December 2019 I stopped all updates and telemetry from Microsoft. Just had my first install of 2004 on an Acer laptop, which is now running like treacle. Installs paused on all other machines while I see if that recovers, or whether I need to do a roll-back. You could turn some stuff off, but then it would be little better than running 15063 or so. When you smash it and break stuff, then you get some cycles back. And Pro is better for this, because you can do some of what's needed with GPEDIT (there are two controls to disable Windows Defender, not just one). The controls in the GUI to disable Windows Defender don't work, but GPEDIT does. And this is an example of trashing Windows Update. Â*Â*Â* rename wuaueng.dll wuaueng.dll.bak The hard part is figuring out an environment where you can get that to work. The whole project is a lot like putting lipstick on a pig. And they can ladle on abuse, faster than you can buy faster hardware to compensate. All OSes are carrying out "container" projects, designed to slow things down. (Snaps, flatpaks, WSL2, you name it.) They want to enable Hyper-V on the machines, to support their container ideas. But a lot of machines, most of the machines I've got, can't have Hyper-V turned on. As SLAT/EPT support is missing in hardware. I have just one machine with SLAT/EPT on it. Second Level Address Translation is used to make gamer video cards work better in a Hyper-V environment. If Jim just wants to use the machine, he could put ChromeOS (like a ChromeBook uses) on it. I have a USB stick with the ChromeOS installer on it. But when I tested that on two computers, it installed fine on one machine but failed to install on the other. That's why I can't tell Jim about that :-) He would say something about fecking computers if his machine was a dud afterwards. I was really surprised when that installer worked. I thought for sure it would never work. I'd sell copies of Win98, but there's not much you can do with Win98 today. Web browsing wouldn't work. He couldn't Youtube and stuff. Where's the fun if you can't Youtube ? Some day when all this COVID is over, Jim can drop into a store and test a ChromeBook and see if he likes it. Maybe that would be less likely to brick. I can't recommend Linux, because at least some of the Linux distros are getting to behave like Windows. And you still need nerd commands to escape from messes. Looking up all those nerd commands is hard work (...systemd). Â*Â*Â* Paul no idea what you are talking about... He said Win10 is getting bloated, Linux is almost as bad but ChromeOS might be suitable. |

Do you have the box it came in and the receipt, I can help you with what to say when you take it back. Actually (and for a change), you do actually have sort of a point. Whilst most desktop OS's have evolved and generally improved, they sometimes still can't fully fix themselves. The problem though is some people like to be able to change / modify stuff, and that brings in 'options' and settings, changing some (or them getting changed by accident), can render the solution useless. So the nearest to what it sounds like you need is a tablet of some sort. Whilst you can still screw them up (as a novice might view it, like my 90year old Mum turning the WiFi off on her iPad), you can't so easily do so by say, just turning them off the wrong way. Or Boot Linux from a DVD and then you can't break anything. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

Paul that is what I thought but a ps2 moose and keyboard solved the problem... Exactly. You can run multiple keyboards and multiple moose, no problem at all. If a few aren't detected... you're on Windows 10 :-) ******* On Linux when the keyboard stops working, it's stuff like DBUS that died. You run an RS232 cable from the Linux box to the Windows box, and talk to the Linux box over RS232 until you fix it. I now have a cable permanently set up between machines, just for rescuing Linux. No computer is immune from feckery. Paul |

Is it because I said you *could* be the first person I ever killfiled, before I concluded you were not worthy of such effort? Initially, I thought you were just a wind-up, then I decided you were just stupid ... and you can't really blame stupid. ;-( Cheers, T i m |

She failed to become a lawyer of any note. She failed to be elected onto numerous Scottish Councils during the 1980s and early 1990s. She failed to become elected as an MP in the Scottish Parliament during the 1990s on too many times to recall accurately. She failed to become elected as a Scottish MP in the HoC in 1992. She eventually won a Scottish Parliament seat for Glasgow Govan in 1999. She failed as the Shadow Minister for Children and Education between 1999 to 2000. She failed as Shadow Minister for Health and Community Care between 2000 to 2003. She even failed as Shadow Minister for Justice between 2003 to 2004. She even failed as a member of various committees too. She failed to become the leader of the SNP in 2004. She failed as the leader of the Scottish Parliament from 2004 to 2007. She failed as Deputy First Minister in the Scottish Parliament between 2007 to 2012. She failed as a Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing and in 2012 she was moved sideways as the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities in the Scottish Parliament. She was defeated in the 2014 Scottish Independence Campaign. As Salmond resigned as First Minister following the Scottish Independence Campaign and nobody else wanted to accept the poisoned chalice, Sturgeon was appointed First Minister by default. She failed, as First Minister, even in the three General Elections to increase the SNP vote share above 45%. She has failed to convince the Scottish electorate that independence is a viable option for Scotland. She has failed to convince the Scottish electorate that remaining in the EU is a viable option for Scotland. She has failed to prove to the world that she is a credible leader of the Scottish electorate and worthy of serious consideration. She failed to secure a mandate for Scottish Independence again in 2019 when more Scottish voters DID NOT vote for the SNP than did so. SNP 45% of the votes, while 54.9% DID NOT VOTE FOR HER SNP. Apparently, recently she failed to offer an accurate account of the Chinese virus statistics and has received universal condemnation for this despicable behaviour. Finally, this Public Purse Parasite has monumentally failed the peoples of Scotland in every aspect of her political life. Therefore, just like Salmond, Blair and Brown she will forever be remembered for her lifes failings too. |
