Cummin-a-yeah-ha!... 325MB of accumulates and a longer installation wait and a boot to Linux to confirm if LAN would then perform properly... it did. Then booted again into W10 and the network is as spiffy as ever... Vista 10, most definitely not ready for prime time.

Dug out the Corsair Vogayer 64GB USB 3.0 and turned that into the backup/performance booster drive, so now we'll let it run a earth revolution to see how many FAHV it can / will chew.

Hasta la pasta.

Update... got to 98.1% crunching efficiency if truly left alone, but if setting things up for 'use', you'll discover things are not as top. E.g. today found a process called WWAHost.exe. It's got something to do with binding apps and Java. I know I ticked something related to java yesterday, but for the love of it, can't find it again nor remember where I did this. It's permanently eating 5% of one core and flip flopping around the processors, so you don't really notice... 1.25% per core essentially. Froze it in the TM and is surely to resume on a boot, but that's a later problem. 98.1 +1.25 makes 99%+ BOINCing possible.

Had this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193196, forced to go to Program defaults to set FF as prime browser [Edge was being opened, which has the, IMO, awful Bing SE forced upon us with a convoluted way to switch SE, rather than having on the fly choice as FF has]. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193196. So now it's v40.0.2

This may come in handy when upgrading and things go vexing: How to remove old unused device drivers in windows.

Had this WIFI/Bridging issue and large percentage of CPU time being eaten by WmiPrvSEexe network managing process. Old wifi 801.11N broke, new one 801.11AC inserted, but the old [invisible] was still funking in. This step-by-step makes the hidden stuff in the device manager visible. No instructions found for W10, but W7/8 are as good as far as I experience, it's just a new GUI over the same old, same old.

More disturbingly with all this in-fighting was, that the System Idle Process had too accumulated the necessary hours. Now 4 hours after boot still 7:32 minutes, but it's now the 8 BOINC jobs sit at top of the sorted TM view with a truly steady 12%, occasionally 13 [times 8 is practically getting near all]. Now even TaskMgr.exe itself is needing hardly any to keep the view sorted.

Handle with care: Grayed Icons does not necessarily mean it's okay to delete/uninstall. Confirm and reconfirm you've got the right one to uninstall.

edit: Verified, the activation to viw hidden devices/drivers is exactly same as with W7/W8.
