I am using Win 10/32 Pro with Edge and Thunderbird, plus occasional
use of Foxit/Lightroom/File Explorer though Lightroom prefers to be
solo-usage and sometimes gets in a tangle which I assume is a problem
with a cache somewhere.

It's slow but I can still use it.

Shutting it down seems to take a while though and after power-on
(I don't leave it in hibernate) it shows 100% disk for about 10
minutes, or longer if Edge has barged in with an update (ignoring
my settings to only install updates when I click on them !!).
