How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop
Might have fixed that bug I had with the taskbar preview windows not hiding when I took the mouse cursor off. Might have been in the Advanced System Settings somewhere, but I don’t know specifically what setting(s) were the problem. I just know it hasn’t happened again. Yet.

Set “Allow wake timers” to Disable.
I heard there’s a “no bullshit” version of Windows 10, is it Enterprise?
I’m not using any of their shit anyhow, probably just gonna get classic shell again. I really just want the optimizations and Killer Instinct.
Threshold 2 (Fall update) coming in early November.
The planned Extension support for Edge got pushed back to 2016, but TH2 will have quite a few changes. You’ll be able to activate W10 with Windows 7/8 product keys, for one.
Anybody downloaded the fall update yet?
Does Windows 10 lag for anyone else? Clicking on a button, even the start button, takes about 2-3 seconds before it actually pops up. That didn’t happen in Windows 7.
I hate when Windows 10 users go on FightCade. Lags the hell out of FightCade. Use Windows 7 for FightCade.
Installed it last night.
It adds more polish to W10. Lots of small cosmetic changes, including new icons here and there (.reg files have a different icon, etc). I like the fact that some right click context menus are now black.
Not a fan of the fact that it’s a long update process (the same as when you’re upgrading to Windows 10 for the first time).
Now they just need to give people a reason to use Edge.
Thanks. Is the OS fast? Is there any sluggishness? I am thinking on finally upgrading to Win10.
W10 has always been fast for me. Chrome and other programs have benefitted greatly.
Others apparently get the opposite when they upgrade.
Windows 10 u say…
Other than this bullshit and forced v-sync Windows 10 seems awesome. It’s all that’s holding me back.
My system is not any faster. Then again it’s a shitty HP from 2008-2009, so a new Windows wasn’t going to help.
Linux was always much faster but that’s a different thing entirely. Though this thing is so old I’m stuck on a version that I can’t get some latest package versions for.
Someone get me a new system.
I finally got to updating Windows 10 on my laptop. It now runs much smoother. Before the start menu used to lag a few seconds before actually popping up, but that’s been addressed. Software seems to run a bit smoother, too.
Yeah, the spying and NSA backdoor are the only things keeping me from upgrading. I hope some hacker group finds a way around this.
If you disable all unnecessary services/tasks, Windows 7 is much faster and more stable than Windows 10 from both a CPU and network standpoint.
Furthermore, even with all network transactions blocked on software level, there is still a massive amount of network traffic, which gamers will find visible in the form of messages in game such as “network disconnected” or random lag in PvP. It appears that the OS is circumventing 3rd party antivirus but blocking via router only forces your client to attempt to resend packets and run additional diagnostics which lags you even further.
Also, Windows 10 shutdown is slower, but made visibly faster via hibernation. It degrades disks to an extent but greatly reduces the lifespan of SSDs.
Usually when people compare new computers with Windows 10 to their old computers, they are forgetting that their new computers have much higher hardware specs.
Unfortunately, a lot of the performance issues are caused by services which Microsoft is shoving down Windows 7 and Windows 8 users as well, and not just the “telemetry” and “diagnostics” features. Even if you have Windows Update disabled Microsoft still sneaks them in but I found that disabling BITS service helped stop it, for now at least.
I only use Microsoft Windows/Office where I have to due to regular work stuff but even at work all of our stuff that needs to be secure is Linux based and for home use Linux is just so much easier. You have control over your system and you can even put it on USB and just go to another computer and run your same system from USB and I tested write speeds from USB to local hard disk and was getting 5 gbps. Linux is free and you don’t have to worry about things like if Windows crashes and you have to refresh and then it loses activation and a lot of the software used on Windows works on Linux and can be installed using a single line via CLI instantly instead of longer task of going through sites searching, downloading, and executing separately.
NSA isn’t dependent on Win 10 for a back door. They supposedly can get into any OS, especially Mac OS and Linux.
Windows and Mac OS are easy to get into. Linux is a step in the right direction.
NSA also has a limited budget. Windows 10 makes their job much easier by making things more centralized and easier to manage.
Also, on the subject of NSA tools, here’s a link that has a couple:

I got a gift for you
