I just figured out why the rig has been acting up which also caused streaming issues.

Basically Windows started running a service called "Microsoft compatibility telemetry" which, according to the internet, is SENDING DATA TO MICROSOFT. When that tasks goes active it chews up 70-95% of my RAM and I have 32GB of it.

Good news, you can deactivate the service but wtf is MS doing?

don't run M$ software. they are no longer a software (or hardware) company. their business is surveillance, data scraping and selling that information. M$ is a #fiat megacorp.

if you need a PC for gaming, edit the registry to get rid of their junk like the telemetry and their AI and do not keep personal info on it.

if you install their malware (they call it software) in Europe you get a warning with the number of companies they share your data with. last year over there I tested and the number was over 800 companies they share with.

do not store personal data on M$ PCs or use their web based services. none of it is secure or safe. aside from the data issues, M$ has a long history or abysmal programming standards, and a reluctance to admit to or remedy issues.

run #Linux (safely) or your information is being tracked, collected and sold.

I am running linux but not on the gaming rig and I thought the windows version was well modified. They must have slipped some of this shit in with their recent updates. Gosh, I miss XP. It was the best Windows they ever released. Lightweight, easy to "anti-spy", barely crashed and overall it was pretty decent. Since vista it's gone to shit.

yeah sadly people kepp using M$ stuff. M$ has been going down this road because prior don't care and people don't know because no one reports it.
