Long backstory: I'm not a computer expert, in fact they are officially my frienemies. Long story and who cares? I have a question that I think you guys are going to love/hate.
Got my first computer, yoga 720 131 Windows 10 64 bit, three years ago. I'm 46. then Best Buy LOST it during a repair, so they gave me a 730. Like 4 days later they found the other one so I'm officially awesome now in my mind (of course) I mean not currently as much. Yeah, who cares?<o
></o>
So here's my line of discussion... I was super bugged by all the frivolities and glittery lameness of some of the built in apps and my new computer lifestyle that I went sort of cucu in some of my spare time. Gotta admit it was satisfying dealing death blows to Teams, People, and Tips apps... (damn Skype for Business!), that it was become sorta fun bumping them off systematically. And as I came into contact with it, I started to be ultra-bugged by Internet Explorer.<o></o>
First because of its tackiness, intrusiveness and ubiquity (don't judge me), but because in addition to being the most annoying search engine ever, I couldn't banish him from my computer! Argh! So over a time, I systematically erased every trace of him from one of my machines. Took forever, I still know little about my machines. Actually though, I just checked after months with an app called Everything, saw that there are exactly four one-page unopenable remnants on the whole C drive. Yes! I win! Except I lose since I wasted countless hours…. Not crazy, was just was kind of fun and empowering… Anyway, I.E. came back with a big sucker punch and an army, because know I've heard the Windows System relies on him! That bastard! no wonder I couldn't banish him from Task Manager! if you took this long to listen to my ridiculousness, maybe you can school me on imminent doom. Thanks and be safe, other humans! Oh yeah, my computers are totally synced and linked.
