Windows 10: Optimum desk

How do I stop Optimum Desk from truing to install? I don't want it and it is causing problems with streaming and other video calls. It is trying to install at least 20 times per minute. I have read that it is 58% spyware for other products and companies.

Optimum Wifi Connectivity Issue

I have looked online in forums and YT for an answer to this. I am am Optimum Online customer, and used to see 'optimumwifi' in my list of available networks. As of late, I am not seeing it. I went to a friend's recently, who also has Optimum Online. I could
not see it in their network list either, even though I've seen it many times before at their home and was able to login with my credentials.

I went to a local Panera Bread to see if it was an issue related to my wifi where other networks I could login to were not showing, and it wasn't. I saw the Panera wifi listed in my networks, and was able to hop on.

I am updated to the most recent Windows, ran driver updates, and neither worked. The strange thing is, a relatives's Macbook, their Samsung galaxy tablet and phone can see the 'optimumwifi' and log on with all their devices. The main Optimum network I use
at home shows in my network list and I can connect as usual.

This has been driving me crazy as I used to be see and use 'optimumwifi' when I am outside my home on my laptop, and now I can't even see the network to login. I have even tried to enter the MAC address at the Optimum website, and that didn't work,

BTW, these are the details...any help is appreciated.

Dell Inspiron 17R 5737. (Windows 8 came installed but upgraded to Windows 10.)

Tweaks For Optimum Internet Connection

As my name suggests I know next to nothing about the internal workings of a pc. Despite having a fairly good pc I've never been happy that it performs at an acceptable level, but I have no idea how to test its performance.

I have used on-line tests from companies trying to sell their wares and apparently my pc isn't set up to run at its optimum internet speed. Is this a case of the company just selling software or are there things that can be tweaked?

Any advice you can give on setting my pc to work at its optimum level will be gratefully received.
