Friday the 13th (Sept.) today.
It's been over three weeks since my last post here.
Since then a reoccurring issue made the news...high CPU usage with Windows 10.
I didn't bother to update the thread as it's always the same repetitive thing...Windows 10 and the multitude of issues that come with it since.
But now I decided to post because me too I experienced the High CPU usage starting about a week or more ago and it still persists plus I couldn't access my computer few days ago!
I was @ lost, it took me a while and many tries to get back in operation.
I am now and it was the first time it happened that way. The solution was simple; unplug everything...USB devices, Ethernet, power cord, battery, wait for few minutes and plug back things...and wait some and adjust some and be patient. ...A manual reboot because other type of reboots simply didn't work. I spent roughly more thzn four hours trying many things. It's frustrating.
I'm not yet with version 1903, and I'm in no rush ...

I'm still with version 1809, and up-to-date with it.
I'm simply afraid to update to version 1903 because of what I'm reading every day or two in the computer world news of Windows 10 (several sources).
I know I know, it's different for a number, a group of Windows 10 users, ...still there seems to be a large enough number of users having frustrating issues, and experienced users @ that.
So when I post here it's not only to report happiness or frustration from only me but in the actual realisation that I am not alone.
That CPU thing is real. Right now I'm ok, but when I start the PC I need to wait for stabilisation.
Windows 10 for me is an exercise in patience, and a kind of Russian rollercoaster ... way of saying to describe the frustration occasionally.

On another matter; my Mom's iPad was super slow recently and she was frustrated.
I helped her by sending her couple tricks to improve the performance and speed.
She was very happy as it did the trick.
My bro is also an iPad user but his is five years old or so and the battery had it, him too.
So he's about to buy a new iPad. Batteries don't last forever, and you can't replace them...you have to buy a new iPad (tablet). ...Of course, Apple needs to make money, it's only normal that products are built without upgrading or battery replacement...you simply but a new iPad/tablet et voilà.
Happy 13th and a lovely weekend ...
