Windows 10: Recent Microsoft update issues

I have a Dell desktop runningWIN10 with 12GB RAM. After several of the recent Microsoft Updates my system is running slow and has other issues. 1: I think it was one of the October updates, maybe before, the search space in the taskbar got a lot larger and search stopped working known problem. I was getting into search by other means, now those avenues have been stopped probably another update. 2: I had went into startup and disabled Phone Link, since it isn't anything I use. Something keeps enabling it again. 3: Going into Task Manager I see in startup I have two line items Named: HD

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
