It may be unfounded speculation, but I do speculate that Microsoft are trying to cripple windows7 to 'force' users to update to win10.

Basically, since win10 was launched late 2015, win7 has begun to behave less stable for every update they've sent out.

I don't know if Microsoft may in fact be that sinister a company, or if this is an unlikely coincidence that just happened anyway.

At any rate, I'm no closer to a solution regarding this BIAB issue I have.
