Question from Cindy P.: I love your blog Rick, and I really appreciate all the great info you provide.

Question from Tilda J.: I finally got around to upgrading my computer to Windows 10, and at least once a day I get a message asking me how I like it.
I haven’t used Windows 10 long enough to form a firm opinion, but all these nagging feedback messages aren’t helping me form a good one.
How can I stop Windows 10 from pestering me for feedback?
