Thanks Jeff. That worked!  :tup:

I'm glad to hear that.  Just be warned.  Once you complete this process, MS has enabled a bunch of AI and cloud share garbage on your system.  Even in Edge.  Be sure to poke around your settings and turn all that junk off that you don't want or need.

I have noticed a slow down in Edge but so far that is all I noticed.

I'm posting this because I've run into this problem several times now.  And on multiple machines.  Windows update has been making a bad habit of downloading drivers that the user had not authorized.  In my case, AMD graphics drivers are being downloaded and installed silently by windows update manager.  This then causes the Adrenalin software package to bug out and crash when it tries to automatically update itself.  The effect, random and aggressive hitching and / or sudden black screens while the drivers try to recover from a crash.  You may even see a warning message popup stating that your hardware has changed and your system requires a restart.  So, if anyone else notices their system showing those symptoms after a windows update had recently installed, try manually updating your graphics software and drivers from your graphics card vender's web site.

I had a feeling that updates were now a backdoor preparation for Win 11.

The fan content never stops.  This has to be one of the best DBS shorts I have ever seen.

Thank you Sand! Definitely watching this video! Thanks!!

 

Dave was telling me that people are going to Linux Mint is the Cinnamon edition because it looks the most like Windows but I wanted to make sure it was easy for my mom as even Windows confuses her (she does not understand the directories yet and keeps asking me "where did my pictures save to?" and gets confused between online and offline thinking that saving an email to yahoo mail is the same as downloading an image or letter to the computer).

How to switch your Windows 10 PC to Linux Mint - for free

Your Windows PC has a secretly useful backup tool - here's how to access it

Is it too late for me Jeff? Without a Credit Card how do I do it? I don't want to put my Windows on the Cloud neither. So which is the best for me and how?

It is not too late and it's completely free.  You can sign out of the cloud stuff afterwards.  Click the search icon and type "Settings".  In your settings page, click on "Update & Security".  To the right of your windows updates page, you should see a link that says "Enroll now".  Login with your Microsoft account and you're in.  Once you complete that, just log back in to your Local User account.  From there, you can turn off all the cloud share garbage that you don't want.

Thanks Jeff. That worked!  :tup:

Been caring for my mom while she was really sick. She is finally over the worst of it.

I'm glad to hear that your mom is doing better now.  That's great news.
