If you have an older PC you can use step 2 to shut off all kinds of services your don't need to run at home. See task manager for a list of running processes. (be sure to check 'show processes from all users') Save ram and make your old PC run faster and more efficiently.

They care about what makes them money and to do that their products have to work well. They use the entire world as their test bed so they don't have to pay to do it. Its almost okay with Microsoft if your PC blows up, just not a lot of PCs blowing up, or theirs. |

Only sheep have to have the latest Microsoft operating system and fastest gaming rig. It’s literally impossible for a faulty windows update to permanently brick a PC. Software updates can’t damage the hardware. It might damage the OS or corrupt files hard drive, but the PC will still work perfectly fine if the software problem is fixed, or in the worst case, windows is reinstalled. Only people who know nothing about PC’s would assume their device is permanently bricked just because the OS won’t boot... lol.

I tried installing Ubuntu but it does not read my wifi and I can't connect to the Internet. The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. |
