    You don't have Windows 9 yet?

    You can also do it without the /resetbase part and it will just remove the superseded updates.
    An alternative is to use cleanmgr.exe as admin which will just compress the old backup files.

    I suppose cleanmgr.exe is the executable for disk clean up tool?

    And yes I did use the dism command before - it;s a bit time consuming although it can remove quite some old files.

    I remember them mentioning working on it, but I don't remember them saying it would be back in the next update.
    Anyway, this month is more of a big rollup rather than a full update like 2919355 was.

    They never said next update, just "in a free update".

    Needless to say it was probably planned for Update 2 but postponded to W9 for various reasons (more features for W9, re-designed Charms to fit the Windowed apps, improved UI framework to allow more flexible resizing etc)

    Also if you look at where Microsoft has to compete with, Windows 9 has to be a free upgrade or it will be the only consumer OS on our planet that has a upgrade cost :rolleyes:

    Chrome OS, Android, iOS, OSX, Ubuntu (and the rest of the linux distros) and Windows Phone all come with free upgrades, a bit hard to ask consumers to pay a fee to enjoy something you get for free on any other competing platform also it will just rub people the wrong way as Windows 9 should hopefully bring much needed changes to Windows that W8 didn't bring but people had to pay for anyway.

    Microsoft start now new updates ===> Joke Update is just update the Windows Explorer (you can check in your local disk probably C ; Windows and explorer).

    In 2015 Microsoft start seriously update ==> Return the new start menu and you can run modern ui applications in desktop mode.

    With Microsoft Windows 8.1 gives half of Windows 7 (boot desktop ) :joystick:

    And Windows 9 is good Windows because is just Windows 7 updated with service pack 2
    Microsoft has created a hybrid bones are not going for desktops. It's as if they used a leash cat with a dog.

    Windows 9 will be good, but Windows 10 will probably be a return to MS-DOS (I mean the GUI).

    I don't remember if it did that before or not.
    You can definitely mouse down to bring up the auto-hidden taskbar, or I guess have it always shown now if you don't auto-hide it.

    win +T gives a permanent taskbar or a mouse down which is not permanent. No way around on Start screen
