FYI I have been running my machine on a dell inspiron 20, model 3043, TouchScreen all in one PC for quite a while.  I just put it in Airplane mode to keep updates and whatever from having access and it has worked for me. For a couple months I was running it full time

It is Windows 10 Home and I have not had a need to upgrade it yet.

I am using a PMDX 422.

For a qualifier, Today I am upgrading everything, doing all updates, so who knows it may not work again after today

FYI everything still working if not better having upgraded.

hi
i am just trying windows 10 pro and will probably remove the things suggested. i have been using mach 3 now 4 for a while and think letting windows update is usually a good idea. more important i use avg antivirus and that needs to update have never seen a mach problem that i could prove was related to avg. people say you dont need antivirus on a computer controlling a machine, however we have to get our gcode into the machine we do this by network or by thumbdrive from another computer that generated the code and these can have viruses so if you dont have antivirus do the math. one more thing i only connect the network cable for updates and pull it after wont update if not connected. just my 2 cents.

more important i use avg antivirus and that needs to update

Since Windows 8.1, I've changed to and prefer Windows Defender.
Use much fewer resources, and is much less intrusive than other anti virus options.
