Got these earlier... doesn't seem to crash as much now.  Took about 1½ hours.

March 26, 2024—KB5035941 (OS Build 19045.4239) Preview

The above (linked page) update makes no mention of the Co-pilot app that will appear in the system tray.  Fortunately if you don't want it (I don't) it can be uninstalled. I wish they'd knock it off with irrelevant faddy rubbish, but that's probably too much to expect.

netio.sys seems to have stopped giving me a BSOD at least. IRQ not equal and various others for no apparent reason.

Got this one the other day:

April 9, 2024-KB5037036 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/april-9-2024-kb5037036-cumulative-update-for-net-framework... 

After trawling through Event Viewer and finding nothing wrong with the netio.sys crashes, I found a lot of "information" that winlogon.exe was taking 156 seconds to start; which is one example of a systemwide slowdown.  Various services were also taking several seconds to start; slowing things down even more.  Having 3 (Chromium based) browsers doesn't help either as Chrome (11), Edge (12) and Avast (10) fire up several instances of themselves chonking into memory as they go.   

There were also some interesting things in the Security section* (nothing to with the CVE**) that could fixed (hopefully) by this update, but I'm not holding my breath.  I won't go into detail as I could be (unwittingly) causing more problems.

Relying on a competitors browser/open source code isn't a good idea as they slow Microsoft's Windows (95/98/98SE/ME/2000/XP etc) down to a crawl, advertising their own products (e.g Chrome OS/Android) as a speedier alternative.

@MrHalfAsleep That's taking far too long

I bought a laptop recently from Curry's to have as backup My new laptop 

It boots to log in screen in 12 seconds and when you put the pin in, it's instantaneous logged in

@MrHalfAsleep  'that winlogon.exe was taking 156 seconds to start; '

 It should be a lot quicker than that. I bought a laptop Oct last year to have as backup.

It's not the speediest of machines, and the technology is a bit on the old side (mechanical HDD, DDR3 RAM etc) and the word "Welcome" is on the screen for a while.  Some apps simply do not work any more.  I've always had problems with Windows 10 since I bought the machine, such as Power-Kernel and other stuff which I posted on here a few years back.  It seems Microsoft isn't bothered about Windows as a product any more, making it more and more bureaucratic as the version numbers increase; if that's the case then should go more the business services side and fire Windows off completely.

I no longer recommend to friends that they buy a computer; as it's easier and more stress free to stay offline.  This is something I've been giving serious I've been giving serious consideration over the last couple of years.

I'm also not interested in AI or NPU's and don't really care about/want/need quantum computing, SAAS, food/drink/toilet paper*/whatever subscriptions, online banking (look how well that turned out), CDBC nor cloud storage etc etc.

It's now 4-44AM and way past my bed time.  There are 111,303 events in Event Viewer.  I've also spent 83% of life so far faffing about with computers.  There were 4 earthquakes in 6 minutes in Greece.  Useless, but true.  Too much data destroys your brain.
