Naw, the damned thing kept ruining a work laptop, killing wifi completely. Know what a laptop is without wifi? A brick.
Kept rolling back, uninstalling drivers, etc., and that eventually got wifi working again, but slooooooowly. To finally stop its insistent attempts, I found the dir where it starts dumping new files in preparation for mangling the OS beyond recognition, ‘windows10upgrade’ or some crap like that, created a file with that name, and turned off all attributes, especially admin, to make it untouchable.
For a while I’d get popup boxes citing an “error”, as in not being able to create or write-to the dir, and it made me feel good. It eventually stopped trying.
“LightUpTheDark” If you can get to the ” system Restore ” do that first. If that works, disconnect the internet immediately, find the Windows update and turn it off, reconnect the internet. You need to have a restore point saved when you are done and you need to be prepared in advance for those PITA updates.
I did the restore to a previous point via Lenovo’s (or maybe windows 10 safe mode via delete/F2 during startup) and restored to Thursday June 7 restore point and it fixed everything…
After windows reloaded with working hardware keyboard again, created a new restore point…
Or do, as I do, and only use Windows for gaming, and use Lubuntu for everything else, except for Excel too.
Lubuntu, compared to even Windows on an SSD, is crazy fast. It boots in like 2 seconds, and there isn’t any lag in the system, unlike Windows sometimes.
You could turn it off, disable it, delete the .exe, turn on “metered access”, all the usual tricks, and it’ll STILL come back to bite you when you least want it to.
This took some digging. Apparently there are three types of ZWB glass. It’s a model number for filters manufactured by Optima, a Japanese optics(?) company.
” BlueSwordM ” You are correct for most peoples needs. My Wife worked at a computer repair shop once and we learned a few things about Windows. So one thing that does help is to only do updates when you are prepared to, several restore points made, back up important info, and a some time in case things get screwed up. You can do updates every 6 months or more. I have not done an update in years with no problems, but then again, I don’t play games on it, just surf the net.
I just got a new flashlight. I noticed there was some little dust particles on the lens on the inside. So I took the bezel off and cleaned the glass on both sides with a microfiber towel. While I was doing that, dust particles fell into the reflector! How do I get it out of there?? I wish I would have never taken the lens out!
