Since a glut of Win 10 install/upgrade issues is spreading like Ebola, a few words here on the true cause of the current software/hardware problems being experienced by folks like OriginalGriff, and this humble flea, himself, who dares write you now ... at the risk of even further Satanic torments, like remembering the lyrics of "We've Only Just Begun" ... may serve as a useful warning to those who heed it ...

We are almost at the start of the liminal time of Samhain
... the autumnal Sabbat, at the cross-quarter day (31st.) between Solstice and Equinox, where the dark forces, the elementals, the sylphs, the lesser demons, can exploit the weakness in the temenos that, in normal times, insulates the sacred from the infernal, preventing them from entering into the sub-noumenal realm (the fiction of reality Homo Saps uses) to swarm into the daily realities of our toys, as well as our psyches, and bodies
Any doubts you may have about the special forces unleashed in this period should be put to rest by considering that Pamela Anderson just visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, bringing him veg food: [^]. Ms. Anderson, ambassadress-for-life for plastic-surgery world-wide, when asked about the purpose of her visit would only say: "I just went to give him my breast best." Anderson and Assange are, of course, re-animated corpses under the control of agents of the Dark One, and are probably having a good laugh at Sweden making flying the ISIS battle-flag legal: [^].

These lower entities wreak all manner of havoc before they form into the ithyphallic fruiting body (using the same technique that slime-moulds use [^]) that Satan will use as his ramming juggernaut in order to manifest in be-horned hermaphroditic form here on Earth to claim his/her temporary infinity from the weakened Lords of Light, and review his covert and public operators, and assets (most of whom are well-known politicians).

It is probably prudent to avoid all upgrades, installs, consultation with doctors and/or psychiatrists, etc., during this time ... the coast should be clear around November 3, or so. The recent birth of a Sheep with six-feet on one leg may also suggest to you what other primate biological activities might best be avoided: [^].

The good news is that all this will, as usual, pass; the bad news may be that your computer will still be unusable, and you remain stuck in sobriety.

from Tralfamadore, Billy Pilgrim
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
