says:I have smart screen filter on and still ended up with a blue screen of death. I could tell it was a malicious site because the blue screen showed BSOD and a phone number to call. so smart filter does not catch all bad sites. I find that windows 10 overall is slow to startup and Cortana will start listening without me asking for it. this causes odd web pages to come up sent by Cortana. not good.
