Yesterday I made the decision to nuke and pave my laptop. Something kept showing malware after an update. Like, all I did was update and it was making trouble. So either the software was corrupted or something worse was going on. But thankfully, the system was running old Windows 10. Now it's on a clean Windows 11 build.
Still tweaking a few things, but all in all not a horrible process. I was expecting to spend more of my day doing stuff.
