Oct 2020

I got a "welcome experience" screen after an update and the damn thing hasn't worked right since. Explorer is unresponsive and it keeps redrawing the desktop. I replaced it with a spare for the time being as it's still hosed, even after several hours of uninstalling miscellaneous programs, excepting Edge, which of course can't be uninstalled and seems to be causing the problem.

Thanks microshaft!
