In the last thirty years I was a fervent windows forms developer for the prepress industry. And I was happy.
My only disappointments were Windows Me and Vista.
For years I have installed the last Microsoft OS and I love doing this. Something new to try in my poor developer life.
But Windows 10 is a mystery for me. I have enjoyed Windows 8.1, very fast and very stable. The first installations of win10 were working good.
I was thinking that Windows 10 would be a step further. But!
After 45 years working with computers starting with Unix and Mac, I think that like a lot of people around here you can feel your machine.
And since the windows 10 release in august, I go mad. My laptop never stop to idle for like 20 seconds.
I am working on a desktop app and things start to becoming really weird with the memory.
Every thing is perfect under win7, win8 ans win8.1 and under win10 I have huge leaks of memory and huge idle too.
Did somebody around has the same problems or it is because I am a crappy coder?

Probably neither - memory is less of a scarce resource than it used to be so spending cycles cleaning it up or compacting it when there is still some spare is not a correct priority. Many virtual environments (such as .NET CLR) and applications pre-allocate large chunks of memory on start up to avoid having continually to ask for more as they progress so it appears that memory use is higher than it, in fact, is.

I had a similar problem with the wife's machine after the anniversary update. Restored her machine to an image taken before the update and that solved all problems.
I read somewhere that the anniversary update can cause computer freezes if you have more than one drive in the machine.

So that's what's causing my problems. I've got 4 drives, an SSD for the system and 3 HDs to split the data over

I have more than one disk. I will try to use only one. I don't want to go backward.
thanks anyway.

If you remove the extra drive(s) and the problem persists, you may have to actually install the anniversary update with only one drive connected?? I am not sure about this. I'm just firing a shot in the dark here.

Since I disconnected the drives and keep only once, everything seems to be perfect.
I can't remember how many drives were connected when I install Win10 anniversary.
Thanks again.

I've had serious problems with Windows 10 going crazy on some builds, especially with a task scheduled process rundll.exe aeinv.dll swallowing huge amounts of memory cpu and disk. This I think is fixed in the cumulative update that came out last week. Install that first, that may well help. My machine is behaving much better since then.

Laser Cleaning: HIGH POWER 1000W! - YouTube[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

There is also Dry Ice Blasting[^] which is cheaper, and also leaves no residue.

But a shark with a dry ice blaster attached just isn't as cool.

What I find amazing is the small size of the handheld device.
In 1989, I was working with a group that attempted to develop a 1000W laser that could be used as the cutting head for a CNC (I wrote the code for interfacing it with the CNC - power control, emergency shutdown, etc.). This placed restrictions on both the size and the weight of the laser, and we never actually managed to produce a 1000W device (IIRC, our best was ~800W).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

Cool! Today CNC companies like Trumpf and Mazak are doing AMAZING things with lasers. I think they're up to 7 kw lasers cutting 25mm steel plus.

Why is this surprising? You can cut steel with a laser so why not use a bit less power and just vaporize the rust and a thin layer of steel underneath?
I'm not going to say it's not cool, just not surprising.
