If you are like me, you’ve had it with Windows 10 and Microsoft, if you aren’t completely fed up with Windows 10, you’re bumping along and willingly allowing Windows 10 to invade your privacy and control your computer and how you use your computer. Let me just state up front that what Windows 10 does is NOT normal. No operating system should be as invasive and virus-like as Windows 10.

The best advice I can give anyone: Delete Windows 10 or 11 or whatever number they're on and replace it with Linux Mint or really anything else. Buy a Chromebook.
Doesn't shutdown correctly - You all know the drill. Do not turn off Windows, it is working on something.
Doesn't Boot Correctly - takes too damned long to boot, even with fastboot on. And exasperated by the fact that Windows does shit you don't want it too while it is booting.
Windows is Updating - Constantly. For someone who only uses their computer once a month, Windows is updating always. This renders the computer unusable, because by the time it's done, you've made alternative plans to use someone else's computer! Or you've performed the work on your phone, which is up 24/7, but inherently unsafe cause cell phone networks are not exactly secure.

I can actually add a little update here at the top. This article was originally published 2 or 3 years ago. I still don't use Windows, and just last week, one of the freelance writers I know had her laptop blown apart by a faulty windows update, so this is still going on. Arguably, it's not just Windows. My website was just blown apart due to a faulty software update. This releasing bits and pieces and unfinished software really does have to stop.

The other reason is that you accidentally followed a Follow for an Unfollow Account. I’m sure you’ve seen accounts that state - #followback 100%! Well, there are also other accounts that go through and follow hundreds, if not thousands, of accounts at a time. Once you follow, the account owner unfollows you.

1. What are your background interests/hobbies?
The only thing I’m doing right now is writing. I write professionally as a freelancer. I’m an author, and I write for my own website. That’s not to say I’ve never had any other interests, but right now the focus is 100% on all my writing endeavors.
2. How do they support/hinder your work?
The more you write, the more you can write. It’s like exercising. The more weights you lift, the more weight you can lift. It’s really about conditioning. Maybe today you can only write 500 words, but if you work at it, soon you’ll be up to 2,000 words a day then 3,000.
