That's good advice.

This is twice this year that this has happened to me.

Now, every time I change my mobile phone Microsoft blocks my Microsoft account.

For me, it was Windows Defender. I turned off "Real time protection", and I was able to safely remove USB device without the in-use message.
So the laptop updated (1607) and surprise surprise it's been sluggish since.

I think I may move over to Linux, this is beyond a joke.
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Maybe there would have been some indicators of a failing hard drive in Event Viewer?
I was also wondering if anyone had created a good tutorial here, on using...
Oh, that makes sense! I've just turned off lots of notifications I don't need/use. I haven't tested the difference yet but I'm confident this will make a big difference.
Thanks :)
I'm really starting to hate Windows 10.

Hi. Has this happened to anyone else?
I had set up Cortana for use in the UK, downloaded the language and speech components.
Everything was working fine and then the latest update restarted my...

Well, I finally got around to uninstalling McAfee and running MCPR.exe. I thought McAfee was blocking Skype but it turned out I was calling a duff account. :rolleyes:
I expected CPU usage and...

Thanks for all the good advice, particularly htcone, it didn't even occur to me to try adjusting some settings from within McAfee.
Before ... I was under the impression that Microsoft's own native...
Apologies for tagging on here, but I'm not sure it warrants a new thread.
I have a new computer with one year of McAfee but I'm thinking about removing it. It slows down my Dell 5759 for the 1st...
Thanks. Good tutorial :)
Spot on.
Thanks Brink. That's much simpler. I've tried the following on "All networks".
