Windows 10: Should I remove 2 recent Microsoft Updates Dec 2024?

On Dec, 9th & 12th, 2024, I installed 2 Microsoft updates. Now my computer is running so slow I can barely work. I close unnecessary tabs and check my task manager for background stuff. Is anyone else experiencing this?HP Laptop, i7-1165G7, 16g ram, windows 11 home, 64

...

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.
