Hello everyone... I wanna ask one question, can anyone tell me how to disable BitLocker in Windows 10 Redstone 5... Thanks Advance
Yes with new hardware more current Windows is required. In the Win7/Win8.1 era this was never necessary at most happened there was no driver for XP. Microsoft and its partners (Intel, etc...) want to force everyone to upgrade. If I want to use the latest I go to Linux. By the way is what I will do gradually, I already created a partition for that. Windows with each version gets heavier and nothing at OS level is improved. I will not upgrade my hardware just to run a newer operating system. Maybe in the future I will do it for games. But at the moment I have no need for hardware upgrade. Linux Mint Cinnamon await me
Yes you are quite correct. I do have an empty Windows defender folder. I'm pretty sure it was there after a clean install but I will test it again.
I agree with above. Linux has improved a lot over the years, and for businesses I already use Linux. Ubuntu for desktops, CentOS for servers. My own server runs Ubuntu server. It just runs day after day, updating is a breeze and it's rock stable. No bloat anywhere. Sadly we can't look into the future, but I'm sure Linux will keep gaining ground. Cheers.
Its why im buying H310C R2.0 stuff. I will worry about the latest version of windows when my hardware craps out.
I had tried NTLite three years ago. I found the way the NTLite uses is not safe. I used it to remove Windows Defender for my Virtual Machine, but Windows Update failed if the cumulative update contains the newer components of Windows Defender. Note: MSMG's ToolKitHelper.exe is a non open source component and I don't know the its role. The ToolKitHelper.exe is too big. Kenji Mouri
hi there, would it be possible in the tweeks menu to add the capability of removeing the windows update, windows update-medic backround transfer service etc? that is if you choose to remove the ability of installing updates? just a thought? or is there away of doing this manually via the mounted image? thoughts?

Since after the cumulative update is integrated into v1903 image, some components are restored and the Toolkit program cannot be removed, you can use the .reg files below and import them.

Yes the ToolKitHelper code is big as the processing of component removal data is not done at runtime but instead it's is pre-processed and included as code in the ToolKitHelper.exe and adding code protection will increase the size bit further..
