Lol, at this point, given what happened during the last week, I'm fairly certain Microsoft, Nvidia, and Studio Wildcard/Snail Games are trolling us on purpose. I mean, how many more updates are they going to vomit out to "fix" stuff.

If anyone hasn't figured, Microsoft released an update the other day to prohibit internal Windows functions to be incooperated into third party software/apps. For me personally that meant I was no longer able to shred files on the windows trash bin, which was a feature of my anti virus software.
