weeellll... windows 7 was acting veerrryy weird on my system.... i think i got a bad install, but i decided to hell with it and went back to 10, even upgraded to insider preview on the fast ring, so now I'm on Windows 10 RS5 17746.1000.

Alas, still bound to have some bugs, but this time they're warranted so BUGS BE DAMNED!! .
