Last nights Win10 update message "Hi", and knock on effect on Google
Woke up computer to this message....
"Hi"
"We've updated your PC."
"All your files are exactly where you left them."
"We've got some new features to get excited about. Let's start."
Okay at the halfway point I got really worried, was thinking I'd been hacked and was just waiting for the ransom message to decrypt my files. When I realised it was MS been surprisingly freaky, I was relieved.
Am happy to get updates, but in the manner they were issued last night it was a bit scary as MS deactivated my keyboard and mouse during the above messages.
My Start menu was being glitchy since upgrade to Win10 months ago but this could have been due to the use of Dexpot to manage my virtual desktop. Also right clicking on tasks on the task bar hadn't been working. I've now disabled Dexpot and will try out the built in manger to see if the situation improves.
One side effect I've immediately noticed and am particularly worried about after the update last night was the slowdown or downright non-functioning of Chrome products. The browser goes from being slow to simply unable to load pages for certain sites, not all just a few like Google Drive, Youtube.com and a few others.
The update made Edge the default browser (was Chrome), and also stole the PDF extension from Acrobat Reader etc. And I wonder if some of my privacy settings were changed.
Very Cheeky MS!!!
Going to have to head on over to the Chrome forums to find out what is going on
