I still have an ME installer that I never used all legal OEM copy some where.

Thank Chris. I just noticed that version in the download area. I will give it a try!

What probably doesn't help is that among developers, especially young developers, there is a certain mindset. Burning midnight oil, working stupid hours, often unpaid, is considered some sort of flex. I see this in corporate environments as well: the people most likely to burn out are those who do not set boundaries and want to solve everything / feel responsible for everything. The people most likely to last are the ones who like their job but at the end of their shift say: the rest can wait till tomorrow.

It's likely that the firewalls in most routers are not that sophisticate that they can detect and exclude a subset of ip addresses from within a given set of the same in building default forwarding rules.

lol - dedicated receiver. Where did I put that *** thing? But honestly, almost all of my usb ports are full, so I tend to avoid them.

Richard and Mircea thanks for advice

Looks like spam about to be posted as a solution. :laugh:

I worked as a dev on Windows for 20 years. I found it was pretty good by Windows 7 and Windows 10. 3 years ago, I switched to Linux Mint. There was a bit of a learning curve, but now, I couldn't be happier! I'm running multi-monitor dev workstation. My productivity is though the roof. Since then I installed Linux on 50 different machines with 0 issues (some servers with RAID too). I only have 1 Windows machine left, which I am about to decommission. Then this year I got a new contract, I have to work with my customer's Surface Windows 10 computer. I'm not going to say what I REALLY think about it, but: It's full of bugs, looks like crap, multi-monitory only half work, and updates... I was a Windows users, but now: Windows, why do you keep disappointing me? The point is, there is a learning curve, but for most things I believe Linux has surpassed Windows now. Christian Lavigne

Easy - Sun OS, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, OpenVMS. They did not push arbitrary updates under the guise of "security" - meaning oh crap, we wrote more bugs. And we want you to have the latest advertisements. So, somehow Microsoft managed to push out software for users that don't even use the hardware. I wonder what else is being pushed out under the guise of page after page of user agreements.

Sounds as if the new CEO actually had a brain an knew how to use it :rolleyes: :-D M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Can you do a `tracert` to see where the slowdown is? Do you have any proxies, firewall rules, content blockers like uBlock going on? cheers Chris Maunder
