Win 10 what have you done?

I have a win 10 laptop which is part of my recording setup. I have managed to disable windows update in services and will keep it disabled until i have finished my current projects and done some serious back-ups. I have finally it seems got my desktop win 10 pc back to health, though it involved finding licences and stuff in very odd places and I could have done without all that. Hopefully MS will knock some of the bugs out in the next month or so.

A note of advice. If you have 2 partitions on your drive, say C and D the stuff on the D partition will stay safe even post update apocalypse. Of course external back-ups are better if you have a lot of stuff.

You might want to read this for starters.

And if you google there is quite a bit of good advice.
And remember back-up…..

Just doing boring stuff around the flat, including the dreaded DIY as a few little teething problems need sorting out. A quick google and youtube look up and the required info was found which will hopefully solve one issue at least. I have been slightly beset by anxiety recently, which was not helped by windows 10 updating and causing major problems that took a day and a half to sort out.

On the wildlife front there are so many spiders and spiderwebs about the place. External I hasten to add. This does of course mean not many flies. I also watched some of the manchester bombing memorial service on the box. Time has really flown by this year.
