So basically, for the last week my dad's old laptop have been absolutely wrecked by update. His laptop restarts while in use without warning, it forces updates and literally bluescreens because of it, all sorts of Windows update process and "compatibility telemetry" are taking 90% of the CPU and memory resources and when I kill them then force restart, the laptop lags like hell for a moment.
So what I'm saying, is Microsoft secretly fucking up with old PCs and laptops that are still good enough to run 10 but can't upgrade to 11? Like what Apple did with their old phones? I've been trying to look for information about this yet none of the tech sites turns up anything.
The telemetry using 90% CPU and stuff is probably because of the bluescreens. It's trying to upload giant memory dump files. Disable telemetry in the Task Scheduler or whatever, or delete the memory dumps. And the bluescreens are presumably because of some driver issue. I think my GPU had some driver issues a while back and the issue went away eventually presumably because of a driver update. But you never know?
