I am using W7. I upgraded to w10 when it became available, didn't like it and my printer all in one wouldn't work, so went back to w7.
bought a new printer and upgraded to w10. w10 was unusable, but old printer still worked.
I am back on w7 and contemplating a new pc, but don't want to get it yet.
My pc will not start, it freezes at various stages, if it gets to desktop I get a message that some windows component could not be loaded, and it then freezes. if I go into safe mode and restore to the last saved restore point, it is then ok for a couple of days.
I have done sfc/scannow which reports all is well with no system conflicts. I have run avg. housecall, and avast AV. also search & destroy and CClean.
I have also disabled some start programs which were not needed, others seem ok.
the restore points are often windows updates, which are recent, yet w7 is no longer supported. I have turned update off, but after a start up freeze I find that it is turned back on.
Si.
