my two cents - install an older version of Windows 10. I use 20H2. You can find clean ISO files on the Internet Archive. Disable automatic updates, and use services like Blackbird (getblackbird.net) to de-bloat your instance.

Just quit using windows. Problem solved.

okay Switch to Linux if you can and are willing to undergo constant troubleshooting. I chose not to, and this is how I managed that.

end of life Windows is your solution to avoid computer troubles??

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

I see it the other way around. Linux just works, windows is the constant trouble shooting. Look at what you are talking about doing right now.

I have to work with Windows environments, I work with their desktop, servers, and cloud environment. I do it all from a Linux machine because it is reliable and the most predictable. Also the most sensible desktop to work from but that is another conversation.

If you want to stop endless troubleshooting, switch to Linux.

Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don't do that. Even on windows that's the worst advice one can give.
