Microsoft? Support Gates Inc?

No thanks.

I wish I could remember the last time my Mac had to update for “security” reasons.

Hypothetically, what would need to happen for use of Microsoft software being used for anything critical to be properly viewed as a national security vulnerability?

I wonder if any of these issues are the cause of the problems that started in my laptop last Sunday. I’m getting lots of warning windows saying, “Windows Defender has blocked this program ...” Also, I have lost use of the taskbar on the bottom of the screen - no volume control, no search, no response to Start button.

I took it to Staples today for analysis. They couldn’t find problem; suggested a new computer and warned against trying to recover my files to load onto new unit. I see a memorial service in the near future for my Toshiba Satellite (sigh).

Warning Will Robinson! The last Win 10 update trashed the boot routines on two of my computers. I was able to undo the update on one and rescue it. My dual boot machine (Ubuntu and Win 10) had to be reimaged from scratch and the Windows backup and restore wouldn’t handle the dual boot software. Grub failed.

I ended up having to reinstall Office 2013, Quickbooks, and a few other programs from scratch. I’m glad I kept the original CDs.
