Fraud...erm.. I mean, Freud, was also a sex addict.

Really?

Was he a successful one? I can't imagine many chicks would want to bed that funky looking old geezer.

If your computer starts calling you "Dave," you're making good progress.

When people say Linux Mint take them seriously. Even if you run Windows only programs it comes with Oracle VirtualBox (VB) installed. Throw a windows install into VB and run stuff that is Windows seamless. Heck you can put OSX in VB too. A Mac, Windows PC and Linux PC all in one and you can even put Solaris on it if you want.

After seamless windows are enabled, VB suppresses the display of the Desktop background of your guest, allowing you to run the windows of your guest operating system seamlessly next to the windows of your host.

I write Windoze apps and develop them in Linux in a Windoze VB.

On the other hand since you can’t even turn off Cortina... never mind. Over your head. LOL.

Give it 50% of your Adjusted Gross Income, and it will go away for twelve months.

Are you running a VPN? I usually saw that issue when a password had expired.

If it is an expired password do Ctr Alt Del, change password, enter current password then new password twice, do a restart to make sure all is well.

I'd go with Linux or a sledgehammer. Or buy a Mac.

(Just kidding. Someone upthread already gave a good answer.)

Is linux mint better? our desktop is slowly dying. Its sound card died first. I will have to make sure Hubby’s Adobe peoduction programs work for him though.

Disable Cortana in Windows Settings.

That should stop Cortana from listening to you.

(At least, that’s what Microsoft wants us to believe...) ;-)

For the first time, so am I. I resent the myriad of intrusions that have been built into Windoze. I resent their arbitrary changes in the construction of basic controls (Settings vs. Control Panel). Their invasive “phone home” telemetry has me constantly irritated.

More and more I find myself in the position of working to defeat the operating system instead of enhancing it.

But Linux isn’t any better. Each time Mint or Ubuntu comes out with a newer flavor I dutifully download it to one of my test machines and try them out. They still haven’t figured out how to create a network disk share that can be accessed by a Windows computer. Without that basic functionality the OS is useless to me (since I run several computers on a network).

Why is it that computers were more productive and more fun back in the Windows 98 days?!

I cannot disable cortana now and i bought the computer two months ago.

I am actully in the market for a new computer and OS. I am done with Windows MS after 30 plus years

I want an operating system like Win 7 and with upgrades for seamless media

I want a mail handler like outlook 2003

I want a Word proccesser like Word 2003

Actually something like the 2003 whole office package on a win 7 with media upgrades works for me.

That is all

I would have been fine with that too. We actually have Win 7 Pro and Office 2010 at home, primarily because both my work and my wife's at the time had "upgraded" to it. It was the main reason why we had Windows based PCs at home, because of work.

Now that both of us are retired, there is much less of a need to stay on the upgrade path, but the lack of security updates on Win 7 Pro starting in January 2020 is going to force the issue.

Definitely more productive on Windows 98 and XP. More fun with Clippy and the little dog, too.
