Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue. So Windows decides to do an update on my computer (running Windows 10 here) a few days ago and since then, I have been having issues where my cursor is not interacting with anything. Then it looks like my desktop is non-responsive to anything I attempted to do. When I attempted to restart, the login time is way longer than expected. Plus, I think this update had affected my internet connection as I needed to unplug and replug my cable to get things going again. I managed to get a systems restore to before this update and it looks fine, but I'm concern that Windows want to push for this upgrade and try to install it and then the headaches happen again (and it already did that once). Does anyone have any helpful tips or suggestions I can do?

Updates are like girlfriends. There will always be others.

Yes. Do not reinstall the update.

Well, good news, Zaz. I don't do any of the three you listed. That stated, I'm going to do a systems restore and turn off automatic updates as I think the problem is due to the fact that I had a particular anti-virus program installed and this update + this program installed = computer having horrible unresponsive issues.

Edit: Ok, an update. I couldn't get the system restore out for some reason, but the good news is that I was able to uninstall that update and disable windows update, and I think it's running smoothly so I'm good for now until I get a better grasp of what I need to do in the long run.

You need to delete system 32 and this will prevent Windows from pushing for the update. Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Just bought Tix for Slash and Myles headlining the KSHE Hog Roast in August. Pretty excited. Blue Oyster Cult, Ratt and several others.

I said everything was fine now, Zaz. At this point, I don't need to do anything. That delete system 32 never helps anything.

F'ing cool, C! Damn, that's a dream for me. Which one? Isn't the Model 3 still on a few month backorder?

That's great. It was taking a few months to get one for quite a while after they came out, so a week or so is fantastic. Enjoy.

I do not know what I got myself into for the next 4.5 months in terms of concerts. I planned 5 concerts in the year of 2018. I have that alone in the span of 5 weeks in late August/September. Here's my list below so far of upcoming shows. I think I'm mad for thinking that I can go see Breaking Benjamin, head to the airport for an early flight after the show, fly for four hours to Orlando, and then I lose another three hours due to time difference in the east coast, and make it to the AB listening party and be very focused and enthusiastic for every little thing about the listening party and set that this band deserves, which is everything. It's certainly something I want to endure and experience. Otherwise, what's the point of living life to the fullest?

Tedeschi Trucks Band - Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles, CA - May 16th, 2019

That's great. You seeing I Prevail with her or something? It's nice to find some common ground to get the conversation going.

Seeing them with her, yes. She had another ticket.
