Re: Scarier than Manchester?

Regionist comments from "down sarf". I thought the first rule of journalism was: What? When? and Where?

If you're going to quote Manchester least be arsed to do all three.

So. Should I upgrade to macOS High Sierra?

No issues whatsoever

I've upgraded and have experienced no problems whatsoever. There again I'm not a creative type.

I use it for Java/EE/Scala development, IntelliJ IDEA-EAP, MySQL, JBoss WildFly 10.1.0. MongoDB.

I do use CCleaner and Dr. Cleaner every five minutes to empty Caches etc. I upgrade everything the moment it's released.

How I fixed it

Just seen this. I assumed the problem I had on Tuesday am was related to some previous start-up problems.

It took nearly an hour from logging in to get to start menu, then it was really slow. Restarted in safe mode and rebooted okay.

Disabled a load of automatic start-up services. Eventually isolated it to the AVG Watch service,

Uninstalled AVG and it all started okay. Now relying on Microsoft Security Essentials.
