[Leica] Windows issues?

[Ken Carney]

I didn’t know what WassMedic was, so I googled and saw that all the posts were about slowness and/or how to disable.  All I can tell you is that I have three W10 machines.  A fancy  desktop that I just had built for Photoshop boots immediately.  An old HP laptop that I updated to W10 and repurposed to stream music to a DAC is so slow as to be useless.  Another more recent laptop is OK but a little irritating.  The desktop has external backup drives plugged in, and they all automatically update W10.  I do keep the startup menu pretty lean.  Good luck.

It also has a tendency to remove program items from my taskbar like Thunderbird. Screen black outs are happening regularly as the pc hangs.

It's so infuriating, I'm thinking of switching operating system to Linux or something else.
