50 seconds of my life I will never recover. Thanks

You're welcome, I watched it, so someone else I knew had to, too. ;p

Install and use linux. That takes care of that sleazy company. Here's a great one - easy to install and pretty newb friendly:

https://manjaro.org/

reboot this

It is amazing how many people don't know this simple first step to fixing an issue or simply making that slow machine run better.

It's become a meme and I'm not sure why, but I agree that it's silly how many don't first try this.

[Gasser64]

Or you can use linux and your computer never slows down that way, just degrading over time.

...

That's right, I'll clog up this thread with linux evangelism.

[Tx Redneck]

If only that were true...

I advise you to use it for a long time and see.

I've been running Manjaro since 2015. Still really fast. Windows boxes... yeah not so much. Never reformatted Manjaro... Done windows 10 3 times lol. Linux has a ton of advantages over windows. Sure there's a few disadvantages, but that's anything.

Windows = grandma

Linux = Smart guyz
