Very off topic but just received in mail letter from COMCRAP

Internet Speed Increase 50Mbs to 75Mbs

1. Shut down your computer
2. Unplug your modem
3.Plug your modem back in
4. Wait 30 seconds to turn computer back on

This really works if you get your internet thru Comcast
Remember, I'm just messenger, don't shoot

 

let this be your first addition lol

 

I've passed on it mate.

One of those posting all this tweaking stuff can open one and hopefully keep some sort of order to the OP - though I don't envy them that job!

 

It is very simple navigate to C:/Windows/SystemApps/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Rename the file Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe to Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe.bak ( might be able to delete it did not try)

Restart and it is gone from start menu and task bar, as I noted it leaves the blank clickable space on the task bar, not feeling like searching for particular fix.

To restore just remove the .bak and restart.

 

@labvxe The surprise is probably one: Windows 10 for very low price; or Windows 10 is offer free for Windows 10 insiders.

 

Many updates in Store (including Store)

 

I dont blame you, hell it is a JOB that requires a lot of attention and extra time. Time we could be using for other things like; trolling, eating, and or sleeping

 

I just hope all he is posting does not mess with system files and running sfc fixes what you thought you had

 

i have in regedit this 10240.16387.amd64fre.th1_st1.150711-1429 xD

 

The defender one was the one I wanted, but ran across a few other things, while trying to track it down, so was checking them out.

 

the most tweaks 80% is from Regedit (registry) ..so only few dll files can tweaked...

 

The few things I have found today do not involve the registry thankfully but mainly gpedit policies. Other then the edge thing.

 

Yes! I guess you are right, probably the surprise is this only. Insiders are getting permanently activated on build 10240 if they upgrade activated but timebombed build 10162/10166 from Windows upgrade. This works even if we clean installed build 10162/10166 and then upgraded to build 10240. After that even if we reinstall build 10240 clean, activation remains permanent.

PS: This is based on speculation that Win10 build 10240 didn't see my SLIC 2.1 and activated through that because I never used Win7 to upgrade to preview builds or 10240. I always did a clean install of every Insider preview build, every build except upgraded to 10240 from clean 10166 then again installed a clean 10240.

 

Where does Edge save all its settings

 

example: disable WU Drivers download..




[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000002


and here's a reference for SearchOrderConfig




SearchOrderConfig 0 = Yes, do this automatically
SearchOrderConfig 1 = No, let me choose what to do, Always install the best...
SearchOrderConfig 2 = No, let me choose what to do, Install driver software from windows update ...
SearchOrderConfig 3 = No, let me choose what to do, Never install driver software from Windows update






[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
SearchOrderConfig 1 = No, let me choose what to do, Always install the best...
SearchOrderConfig 2 = No, let me choose what to do, Install driver software from windows update ...
SearchOrderConfig 3 = No, let me choose what to do, Never install driver software from Windows update


here is no actual SearchOrderConfig 0
the "zero" is trigerred automatically by a combination of registry keys SearchOrderConfig 1 +
PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork 0, if you were to manually change SearchOrderConfig to zero, it does nothing if PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork is not enabled.






[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata]
PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork 0 = enhanced icons enabled
PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork 1 = enhanced icons disabled




0 = "No, let me choose what to do - Never install driver software from Windows Update"
1 = "Yes, do this automatically (recommended)"
2 = "No, let me choose what to do - Install driver software from Windows Update if it is not found on my computer."

 

in settings!!

maybe somewhere like this

Code:

C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

8wekyb3d8bbwe will probably be different.

 

You left hacking and coding off that list

 

So how would one backup those settings for future use, don't shoot

 

is 10240 now the rtm version?i think not in diagnostic by privacy is 2 option one never send second with easy, automatic
