Registry bloat is the most likely culprit, but series of service packs and patches can't help.

Guess who's the biggest culprit regarding registry? Sniff | :^)

What I wouldn't give for a nice, stable, OS without all the garbage, that just worked, and was close looped dev enough that it all worked together consistently, and supported my hardware.

Windows 7 used to be that, until they started adding telemetry spyware via automatic (optional) updates, and then forcing it on every machine with cumulative updates. While the cumulative updates did help regarding the registry (it still grew, but not as fast as it used to), I hate MS for rolling optional telemetry updates into these. I got so tired of removing that crap over and over again that i finally decided to set my boxes to manual update only. Unfortunately, this only delayed the actual problem, because there was no way to only apply security updates without installing previous cumulative updates Mad | :mad:
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)
