I remember that! The place looked like a sty after all the folks scrambled out of there.

It's the kind of story that seems to pop up again and again - government outsources a moderately challenging but very solvable problem to a consulting firm, and the firm fails to deliver a working solution despite being paid handsomely.
It reminds me a bit of Healthcare.gov in the US; hundreds of consultants couldn't deliver a performant solution even with a budget in the billions of dollars. A much smaller team came in and replaced the slow bits using Node.js running on AWS.

You could also reference the Queensland health debacle, also created by IBM. They were the only ones paid hansomly, the medical staff had to make do while they failed to fix it.

Twice today 'Ur (the name of my latest beast desktop) has gone into a strange state I have not experienced before where if I try and launch other apps, like Chrome, the launch fails with no message; I open the Control Panel folder but Win never finishes enumerating the items and never shows any icons; I hit cntrl-del, but Task Manager doesn't launch.
The pop-up that has this message about "maintenance" has a button that supposedly should take me to the Action Center, but, hey, that doesn't work either.
First thoughts that go through me head: malware; or, Win10 install sneakaroo somehow infiltrated my defenses.
I am the only person that can use this machine.
So, I reboot, run a complete virus/malware scan: all clean. I open the Action Center and the only information I can see is that it says that Windows was not shut down properly ... well, yeah, I did that because ... I had to. Last Windows update was last week, and I have been religious about not installing the nag-install-10 KB's.
D#mn ... where'd I put my defibrillator ?
Thoughts ?
thanks, Bill

Does this only happen when you are trying to launch Chrome? Are there any services/apps running that shouldn't (if you are able to see them anyway)?
My first thought was a dead-lock or (because of the neverending enumeration) a continuous/multiple launch of new instances of an app which slows down the system.
