Windows 10: This is Bu****it

Update after update Microsoft have just been destroying windows when everything was just fine when it started. First of all, anything that has to do with anything with Xbox games, chat, parties, etc use to work flawlessly. Then they decided to start messing with it and shipping out updates and its to the point where the Xbox companion has pretty much have become unusable. Now I'm also having issues with Microsoft Store flat out refusing to launch at all with no error codes, or messages or anything. Plus this problem has now some how applied itself to all windows apps threw Microsoft Store. Second issue I'm having is the garbage installed with windows that Microsoft enforces where its impossible to remove. Cortana is absolutely not a necessity for windows! I get some people like using it, but i would appreciate it if i could uninstall it in general. Same with Microsoft edge, I prefer the web browser i use so their is no reason for it to be left in my system. I was going to try the reset option for windows but, it wipes everything including drivers and important software to run my hardware. So I might as well wipe the entire drive myself and start over. That's just a few things out of many, and this behavior from a multi-billion dollar company is just flat out unacceptable. Microsoft has come a long ways and you guys have made so many advancements, why is this the behavior we are seeing now? I'm going to start with a fresh copy, but in the mean time, I'm also going to start getting my experiences in with Linux.

Can't access .2.1 from .0.1>?

Pushing oneself is commendable, but it should be in a given direction, not to run aimlessly or in circles. Questions aren't silly per se (arguable, but...). They may however be irrelevant in a given context, and always are in any undefined or fuzzy context.

What you can't plan, you'll never achieve. I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, but I suggest you should consider it as an extra incentive for planning in even more detail than usual before proceeding with your VPN project.

Before starting to plan, one must answer the question: "Is such endeavour worth the blood, sweat and tears I'm going to have to shed". It's also known as project's ROI .

Allow me to redirect you to an excellent article about VPNs: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...ng-a-vpn-sucks
Some excerpts:

"Whenever I actually had to get something done, I turned off the VPN."

"But VPNs are primarily used by people who want to protect themselves in very specific and temporary circumstances. They're great for encrypting traffic on public WiFi networks, such as at the airport or at Starbucks. They're great for journalists and security researchers who want to hide their identity while reporting. They're terrible for always-on, regular-ass internet usage."

"The takeaway here is that no VPN is going to get widespread adoption from the average internet user, nor should it. We've repeatedly seen that given the choice between privacy and convenience, most people will choose convenience."

"Quite simply, it's bullshit that the average internet user has to even think about using a VPN."

Now, if you can't think of a better/easier project to work on, let me suggest a plan outline for you:

Step 1: Prepare and test the primary router: Please list all the tasks you have to complete before going to

Step 2: Prepare and test the secondary (VPN) router: Bigger step. Please list all the tasks you have to complete before going to

Step 3: Connect the 2 routers and test. Please list all the tasks you have to complete before going to

Step 4: Celebrate and prepare for ongoing maintenance.

Don't even think about starting a step before writing down a list of tasks. If you have questions on HOW to complete a given task, state WHAT you want to achieve, and someone will be happy to help.

Good luck and best wishes.

Step 1: done
Step 2: sounds fairly easy, gonna try / do it tomorrow
Step 3: now this, how do I do it?

How possible is it to brick my card? Like, is it possible for me to mistype something and that causes to brick my card, or simply the card gets bricked while flashing the BIOS for some odd reason?
