Windows 10 fun and games
I have been working as a delivery manager for a large company specialising in complex integration problems.
Essentially, up to now my role has been working out how we can make best use of our toolset.
That is coming to an end, so I am now looking at the technical aspects of my role.
Which brings up to mind a conversation I had with Heinz Wolff back in 2009: “security is more than keeping people out. It’s about ensuring safe and consistent delivery of service.”
What’s this got to do with Windows?
My Windows 10 machine has developed an interesting glitch – every so often the UI would freeze. The mouse moved, but the keyboard and mouse buttons would do nothing.
I initially thought, make a backup and check for viruses.
The virus check raised no concerns so I waited to see what would happen.
The problem became more persitent. That led me to the manufacturers web site who suggested a system reset 😮
Ouch. Given that advice I went through the install log and worked backwards. I don’t know precisely which piece of software was causing the issue, but I have cleared out a whole load of old stuff and it seems to have had the desired effect.
Not only should that improve my normal work performance but also some of the fun pieces I am looking at like Kali Linux…
