I could not establish home group so I did what I had to do years ago with different pcs, which is to connect the 2 pcs with an Ethernet cable. However, unlike before when home group was established, even after...
Since upgrading to Win 10 I have noticed that when shutting down my PC one or two programs seem to be delaying the shutdown. The program descriptions don't seem to be in English, possibly Chinese or Japanese, and after a few seconds shutdown proceeds. I have investigated, but can find no reason...
I updated an older laptop from W7 to W10. I used the media creator and the update was smooth and uneventful.
As part of my explorations I decided to remove all the metro apps using
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
because I never use them
Don't know if this has anything to do with it...

If you go to the Settings, Updates and Security, Windows Defender, at the bottom there is an option to use Windows Defender. After you select that option, the icon shows up in the tray.

I have Win 8.1 and don't like what I have been reading about Defender.
Could I get a time tested opinion about a free a/v and firewall combo?
I have MBAM with SpywareBlaster and Defender. if you think that is good enough please comment.
I suppose my foray into Torrents ended up causing me a few minor problems. It might be fun to try to remove whatever is actually causing this, but Malware Bytes has found problems prior and these are recent so the problem endures.
If I wanted to try to remove the problem, any suggestions...
