Running Windows 10? Microsoft is preparing to fire up the update engines

Re: Last update wrecked so much

Have to agree. We have two Win10 devices here and since the latest upgrade they have shown 80-100% usage on CPU/Mem/Disc for long periods making them unusable.

Since one of them was a clean build two years ago with only MS software such as Office and Teams plus Firefox browser I can be fairly sure this is not legacy software killing it and Resource Manager points the finger at things such as MS Anti-malware and 'system interrupts' using all the Disc/CPU resources. Curiously, I can resolve the anti-malware hogging by excluding the Windows folder but that still leaves many other MS tasks/services overloading the system.
