It is difficult to do a clean install? I.e. put all your data on Dropbox or some other cloud storage? Ditto for apps, make sure they are easy to restore from an AppStore or elsewhere?
I find whenever I run into your problem I: - Use the Activity Monitor (mac) or equivalent (windows, linux) to check for high CPU, Disk, Memory use, sometimes that showes the problem. In fact I just did that and found Atom editor had problems with the Mac spell checker! - Use a disk listing program like (mac) OmniDiskSweeper. I'm sure there's a similar one for all systems. Clean up as well as I can from that. I'm often surprised how much I don't need. - If that doesn't improve things then check recently installed apps being bad. - Use the AppStore to do a clean install - Reinstall the apps and data. -- Owen On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 9:56 AM, Gillian Densmore <gil.densm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have no idea if the is the mailing list to ask > > I have about enough of windows rebooting crashing and being a POS. > > Is there anyway to get this crappy os to not insist on rebooting when I > don't want.
