TenOC, it may really be time to rethink the whole Microsoft thing. I used Windows for many years and was so tired of its endless flaws. My son, who is an IT professional, begged me to switch to the whole Mac/Apple universe.
That was several years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. No more crashes. No more security problems. No more glitches. The operating systems are easy and intuitive.
The bad news? It's more expensive. But if you put a value on your time and the annoyance factor, the switch may be a good bargain. It certainly was for me.
Hang in there, in any case!! We all feel your pain.

When I first purchased a PC back in the days of Windows 95, you had to either be an IT expert, or learn how to be one. Driver incompatibility, hardware glitches, registry problems, BIOS issues, an OS that had to be reinstalled on a regular basis... It was a farce. Succeeding versions of Windows were incrementally better. Now, in the Windows 10 era, those issues are only a bad memory. And it only took 20 years for them to figure it out!
