Too late, I already switched to linux.

It was death by 100 cuts, and the opaque memory management was one of the cuts. I'd say 1 drive hijacking your file system was 100 cuts. Cortana, in-menu candy crush ads/ragebait news, auto reboot, edge default opening links, more cuts.



Yeah, I switched too, but the task manager I use now is a bit of a letdown compared to windows.

It always shows the same processes, just the base os and the apps I installed and expressly start or autostart. There are no new obscurely named processes constantly popping up after every update. There are no rogue processes using 90% cpu, no programmes hanging and crashing the window manager.

It's just all so predictable and.. well, boring. I almost miss the excitement of never quite knowing what I would find in the window task manager.
