[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10240

I want to give up on Avast a long time ago. But the Windows Firewall is too messy for me, I can't block all adobe updates at the same time, i have to block one by one. There's any third party Firewall that has a noob-friendly interface?

 

It happens to me too, it briefly shows

Although it doesn't bothers me at all

 

Latest WU AMD drivers update is available. Is there anyway not to install them, since i have installed 15.7 drivers from AMD site...

 

Hmmm ... hosts file ?

 

to me sounds like brain.exe

 

More it's second defense layer. For the unteachable stuff like Acronis calling Mom.

 

i have some confusion question regard windows 10 do you know ? from i made a esd to iso how the computer recognize the activation key if i reinstall system?

2.if i uprgade from insider preview how put key ? windows 10 key or how activate when i upgrade from insider preview
3. i downloaded esd and made iso then upgraded from 8.1 .afterthat can i do fresh install?

 

LOL @ the brain.exe, mine is outdated. i'm sorry. Anyway, i have several adobe applications blocked through the Avast Firewall. Update Manager, Acrobat, PS etc.. I don't think i can do it from the hosts file

One only needs the link-list to block Adobe, i never did with Firewall.

 

1. After you upgrade from 8.1, the hardware ID will be sent to Microsoft and it is your unique activation key. When you reinstall win 10, and connect to internet, it will be activated
2. you don't need to activate, unless it is enterprise version
3. Yes, you can

so use "This Network" instead of the Loopback. Makes since

 

Iirc yes .

 

Finally fixed my Video problem. Turns out it had nothing to do with Nvidia driver like the error said.
The problem was with a 750gig Seagate Hard drive. I have no ideal why the hard drive would cause the Nvidia driver to crash.
The drive is not a system drive, it was being used for storage only.
And I still don't understand why the problem only started after the upgrade to this build.
Smart drive monitor still does not see anything wrong with the drive, but with the drive installed the Nvidia driver crashes but with the drive removed in CMOS but still in the system hooked up the system is stable and no problems.
Anyone have any ideals.

 

Yep Host file has always been the way keeps any app from calling home

I agree with Paul Desmond all AV does is try to convince you that you need it to protect your system then in goes about taking control of your system resources that over time just slows down your system & your enjoyment of pc /laptop/tablet/mobile phone
Just Use the inbuilt windows defender & As Pauls says Your Brain & you will be fine

lol, never used it until now. Everything seems ok with Win10 and it. Something new for me as well.
