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.
Knowing how evil they are, Maybe. On the other hand though, it could just be decades of spaghetti code catching up to them.
Something like this happened to my desktop computer (not even anything insanely old in there) about three months ago when a routine update broke a bunch of drivers and it took about a month of troubleshooting on the forums to get stable again
