    Mcafee updated slowed down everything


    I purchased a brand new laptop Monday 1/18/2021, recieved it Tuesday. Worked amazingly. Super fast, just great all around. Wednesday night, I get a notification that McAfee needs to update. I made the mistake up allowing the laptop to restart in order to do the update. Ever since, I can't do a thing. I've tried to a restore/recovery, doesn't allow me. Can't open settings. Attempted to uninstall via add/remove programs. Let's me select the program, click uninstall. After a few minutes, the screen does that faded black and normally, a box would come up to confirm the uninstall. Nothing. Just pops back to normal.


    I've been at this for nearly 24 hours and I'm no where.

    :)

    Mcafee updated slowed down everything

    Windows 10 1903 and McAfee Compatibility

    Check with McAfee for an updated version that does work with Ver 1903.

    I suggest uninstalling McAfee, doing the Ver 1903 update then re-installing McAfee / installing the new McAfee version.
