Theres a lot to turn off in Win 10, and once you do it, things improve.
Just do some simple searches like "things to turn off in Win10"

Many recommend stopping Win updates completely, or at least pausing for a few days.
and then carefully reviewing what is to be installed.

If your system can handle Win11, that is one thing that Win10 will start pushing.
In fact, it attempts to install without your permission.
Its easily stopped, but it requires editing the registry.
Once again, do a search and follow the instructions carefully (its not that difficult).

I've been using Open Office for years now, and it works fine.

Edge is okay once its completely updated...I don't use it, but I have to have it at the ready since some programs use it by default.
CorelDraw, for example, stays connected to their server via Edge.
In fact, it must be working to install and update the program.
Like I said, just let Windows keep it updated (security wise).

One thing I find annoying with Win 10, are a number of options/personalizations that are available to you/the user, and yet, don't work!

Trying to turn off the Lock Screen - WIndows Log-In - Hello PIN is one of those things.
Its a built in option that just wont work.
There are all kinds of solutions online, but none seem to work.
I've searched and tried them all.
Why, if I am the only user of my computer, and its not in a public location, can't I use it without having to "log in/sign in"???
