Who is my hacker: Microsoft or a real, dastardly-type human?
After all, you can sell a computer to another person and buy an Android tablet why don't you?
Windows10 jast currently the most stable system compared to earlier versions -> works great
Delete the apps one by one and see which one is causing the problems!

Yes you are of course level headed and haven’t gone into total cynicism. I must admit I was altogether curmudgeonly in my ranting. But it’s still so frustrating to me to be made to be put in these positions when I own this device and it is for private use (no enterprise situation here). But I can’t seem to get the configurations just right to stop these intrusions and to give legit apps and services the latitude to do their thing. Plus I’m just sick of battling whoever this is daily! Today on the more personal front it was one of my credit cards involved in an info leak and I have a good idea who did this. But can’t figure out how to fully identify the culprit so I can press charges. It’s not cool. AT ALL.
Ok. what version of Windows do you currently have that you are using?

Please download this scanner is a great tool - write if it detected a virus or other threats?
And this is an additional proposal for you:
- I have not been able to make progress as yet. I go through the same things with a slightly recalculated plan to avoid the problem nearly everyday. I try to find as much info as I can about what I can do as quickly as possible following a reinstall of Win10 that will provide the most protection. Today’s strategy was to enter power shell and enable as many security features as I could, and try to disable some things as well. The problem is many many commands would come back as if they are not real commands. I did Update-Help but it didn’t work saying that the files were incomplete and also a list of around 20 different modules weren’t updated. So I got out of there and went to MMC turned on Firewalls and rules as strictly as I knew how. And then I noticed I had no internet connection. So I jumped into trying to fix that. All the while I’m getting notifications bc I had turned on control folder access that power shell and command prompt we’re attempting unauthorized changes to my SSD and sys files. WiFi adapter driver that I installed had been replaced with an old built in windows driver that’s a .sys. Try to go into recovery environment and it does, but it doesn’t look exactly right. Some options from advanced recovery are missing and the restart into various safe modes etc is missing some of the normal options. I tried cloud reset, local reset, start up repair, boot into safe mode, the restore point, ALL OF THEM. And nothing works. I’m in blue screen boot loop unless I go to command prompt, and there’s where I find what I’ve see probably a dozen times now. In addition to the regular windows “stuff” there are dozens of .dll, .xml, .exe, .etl, and various other files just listed out in the open like a big F You right to my face!! I’m going to scan on my iPhone and paste into the next reply so you can tell me if this is a normal occurrence.
