The last laptop with Win 10 dual boots with Linuxmint.
I am going to reinstall Linuxmint and wipe out Win10 completely.
So after arriving home from work a little bit ago, I sit down on the coach and reach for the laptop. It is HOT. And I can hear the processor fan blowing away. WTF?? No one is home, and no one has used this computer since last night. Why is this damn thing running??
I log in... go to Network and process history and two things have been running for the past 6 hours...
Host Process for Windows
Uninstalled Processes... what the fuck is that?... so I go to look , after researching both websites I trust and have used for years call it the "mysterious process". The official Microsoft explanation of what this process is, is it logs activity for processes that no longer exist. Say what? So yeah... just like they said - how can a process that no longer exist be using memory and network activity?
Long story short - both sites say it is actually linked to Microsoft Telemetry, and the process didn't exist before M$ telemetry.
So... both of the above programs transferred 538 MP in total. The "uninstalled process" transferred 121 MB of that.
121 MB. WTF??... what did Microsoft download from my computer that is 121 MB?? That is a boatload of data!!
Fuck it... I'm gone.
