So if you remember the last time I went silent for a while, well, it happened for the exact same reason it did this time, a Windows 10 "Automatic update" (which, BTW, you CAN NOT DISABLE) corrupting my hard drive.
The thing is, it'll be a little while before I can attempt to recover the data, and this time, I'm not redoing shit. I can't recover it, I'll just close the project and release what DIDN'T get erased.

As much as people give me crap about it, I'm glad I stuck with Windows 7. I also haven't updated this computer in long enough that it never updated to the telemetry updates provided to Win 7/8/8.1 a few months back. While Win10 looks nice, to me, it just isn't worth the hassle of getting my favorite programs working on it.
Sucks about your project... I hope you can get it back.

A wise choice, XP or 98 would be better, but it can be expensive to get a modern PC that has either one. It's possible, but requires you find someone to build it for you, and they tend to not be cheap.
It's dangerous to dough alone, bake this.

That sucks man. I feel your pain.
Windows 10 somehow thinks that it's good to take 5 minutes opening anything. I guess 4gb RAM and x64 multi-core cpu just aren't fast enough to do complex tasks such as edit text files. Maybe I could if the OS didn't use up every available resource just to keep the taskbar looking pretty.
Windows 7 bricked my laptop a few years ago. It was doing an automatic update sometime during the night up until after I woke up. A few hours later it was fried liver.

7 is no XP but at least you can turn off Auto-Updates, why didn't you?

Eh, you're computer Savvy enough to know M$ doesn't care about leeching the CPU or backwords compatibility. Sure Win 7 was better than Vista, but it wasn't going to be better than XP.

A-ha! So, this insane loading time on Win10 isn't simply my ancient hardware. My win7 drive bit the dust, and to save time, I popped a win10 drive into me laptop until I could set up the new drive with win7 and Linux.
Win10 is just terrible. It goes through phases where every audio track that I play with VLC stutters, and skips. Just rubbish, it is.
Once I'm done with this business trip, I'll be rolling this system back to win7. I'd use XP, save that I have some utilities that simply demand win7. Forced updating is simply utter nonsense: It exists solely for anti-piracy reasons.
