Hi -midnight,
Why did you say earlier on some occasion that you regretted upgrading to Win10?
Like to hear and learn about your arguments,
while some here still have to decide to make the transfer to that platform.

Hi polonus,
I think win 8.1 was easier to use than win 10. Some of the programs I had installed won’t work with win 10.
I don’t like the way the win updates are installed. I don’t like win 10 mail.
There are a lot of reasons why I regret upgrading to win 10.
If I could I would go back to win 8.1 but I’ve had win 10 installed on 2 computers for over 30 days so I can’t switch back.

Adobe announced today an emergency patch for Thursday, June 16, to fix a zero-day in Flash Player exploited in the wild.
According to Anton Ivanov and Costin Raiu of Kaspersky, the vulnerability was used in targeted attacks.
The term “targeted attacks” is one used to describe attacks during which the threat group points the malicious code only against a limited set of individuals. Such exploits are usually found in the arsenal of private or state-sponsored cyber-espionage groups.
Zero-day used for cyber-espionage by new StarCruft APT
The vulnerability ID assigned to this zero-day is CVE-2016-4171, and Adobe says it affects Flash Player 21.0.0.242 and earlier versions, running on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Chrome OS. Flash Player 21.0.0.242 is the company’s most recent version, so this means the zero-day affects all Flash installations.
An attacker can use CVE-2016-4171 to crash a Flash Player installation in an unsafe way that then allows it to run malicious code on the user system and take over the machine.
Kaspersky researchers say the group behind these targeted attacks is a new APT they named StarCruft. Researchers say the group is currently running two operations: Daybreack and Erebus.

A driver that makes your Touchpad work or it extends the possibilities of your Touchpad.
But for me nothing broke so far

Things are getting worse in Windows 7. I updated my laptop yesterday and it took about 90 minutes to search for the updates and another 15 to install them. That’s the worst yet. Last month it was a lot faster. Still slow as molasses but not like this time. I’m now convinced Microsoft is causing this purposely.
The conspiracy theory is alive and doing well.

I don’t know if this is working, I didn’t try it.
It took around 40 minutes to find and install 6 updates on Windows 7.
No problems with Avast.

3 of the 4 Win 10 updates have downloaded but it’s been stalled waiting for the big cumulative patch (KB3172985) for an hour. Is anyone else experiencing this?
