Microsoft I sense need to read their event logs more often, because I sense someone is trying to creep into them again.

oldgamerz:
The more power you have online the more people will mess with your stuff, most of you know me from Facebook now.

ALSO don't ever bring out computer offline unless you need to repair them, I DID AND WAS HACKED many times for it ok?

oldgamerz:
I did not tell you everything there is to know about taking better care of any Operation System including Windows, if anyone would like to contibute toward this idea of saving your PC's and Laptops or even your cell phones or tablets any help is necessary.

and keep windows updates turned on, windows OS does mess up sometimes usually because of a hacked video game somewhere on your hard drives or something temporary inside the %temp% folder.

In a modern OS, people won't really have the ability to disable updates because they are primarily handled by a Security Context in the Task Scheduler. This is the portion of Task Scheduler that is hidden because a User account (even in Administrators group) does not have the Read permission on those tasks. The only real way of preventing Windows Updates to be installed is to block the URLs at the firewall.

Windows Updates should not be just installed because they exist, unless you are in Fast Ring. The vast majority of them are not even applicable to a home user. Anyone in the Enterprise space should have the updates verified before allowed. For a home user, updates should be installed as-needed and Windows Update is the primary source of excess bloat which increases the overhead and decreases the performance of the operating system.
