Windows update made dell laptop into a brick
Last security update on Jan 13th broke my laptop. Every program keeps freezing and doesn't do anything. Even when I open task manager it may run for a minute but soon it will freeze, and can't even end task. Only thing that is working is my browser. Yesterday I managed to reinstall windows using a USB and it was working again. While i was away, it forced an update and once again the same issues arise. laptop is too old to install 11, and going to try and reinstall windows again. There a way I can turn off the windows 10 update before this happens again? there is a patch, but i cannot install it. When it automated update, it bricks again and i can't install the most recent patch. it's in a never ending loop of hoping it doesn't auto update when i leave the computer on, or reinstall the OS with a usb. Dell inspiron 15 7559Control Flow Guard caused tasks to suspend on launch
I've been tracking down the cause of a really troubling problem that started 5-6 x64 canary releases ago: running some executables would lead to a delay of 20-30 seconds before the application would actually launch. Discovered they were starting but immediately going into a suspended state (viewable in Task Manager) for up to 30 seconds, then they would appear on the screen and function normally. An example is Notepad++. I could repro the issue on demand by launching the app and then terminating it and then executing again a few times in rapid succession. Disabling Control Flow Guard (CFG) in Windows Security, App & Browser, Exploit Protection seems to resolve the issue. Reported in feedback, where there were about two other reports of similar behavior. Anybody else seeing issues with CFG ?
Windows 11 Dynamic Lock Unstable
Dynamic Lock in Windows 11 is unstable. Even when phone is connected to PC via Bluetooth, Dynamic Lock says it can't detect your phone. This screenshot shows: my phone is connected but dynamic lock shows not detected. Sometimes it works if I press the Scan for Phone option manually. But its not intended to work like that.
Windows Security Real Time Protection can't be enabled
I am currently running Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview 23H2. I tried enabling real time protection in registry by settling real time protection key to 0, I tried to set not configured for real time protection in Local Policy Group, I have alo tried enabling it using Command prompt. However, none of the steps worked. Real time protection is still off and cannot be enabled. It just keeps on toggling off even when manually toggling it to on. I do hope that next Windows Updte would have a fix to this issue.Windows security malware removal problem

Microsoft Account Troubleshooter: not updated since Oct. 2013
Hi! I downloaded today (2020-07-14) the tool ( https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13976.how-to-troubleshoot-microsoft-account-issues.aspx ) and opened it with 7-zip. The files there are from Oct. 2013. It means that the tool might not know about changes to account authentication. Therefore, it may report wrong conclusions/detections. I may be wrong but it seems to me that the tool needs some updating.
