idiot answer! that's like saying "nobody is forcing you to live in this world, go kill yourself" to an activist
oh look another stupid post we want updates but we also want the possibility to choose i know to some people that concept sounds very strange
unfortunately it might not be so easy i checked the 10147 server install.wim and there are different explorer.exe files in the server version they don't have icons and are less than half the size, i'm a bit confused about this
go to c:\windows\systemapps and rename or delete the folders i think after a while they'll disappear from start menu too and on top of that your system will have more memory left but it will leave you without a way to filter your start menu for that install classic shell and everything will be fine (well except for all the other s**t that comes with windows 10, like forced updates)
Look at 8/8.1, about every 3 months there was an update, which crippled Windows in some way. It is recommended to wait about a week before applying updates, to see if people have any issues. Even 10 had already one update, which crippled something since RTM release, it was quietly patched.
I've tried that but still the same, and delete/rename cortana will cause search broken, so remove their shortcut from the all apps list is the only way. In Windows 7, most of the shortcut of all programs can be found at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs but seems Windows 10 has another folder for metro/modern apps.
Use Accent Color instead of Default Wallpaper in LogOn/LogOff screen For those who don't like the Windows Wallpaper on the LogOn/LogOff screen. I don't know of it was already post in this thread, sorry if it is. It will replace the wallpaper by the "accent color" you will choose in "Settings -> Personalization -> colors" REG version : Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Use Accent Color instead of Default Wallpaper in LogOn/LogOff screen [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "DisableLogonBackgroundImage"=dword:00000001 BAT version : Code: Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /v "DisableLogonBackgroundImage" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f If i may, it could be cool to group working reg tweaks with their description and differents values in the first post of page 1, instead of searching in 40+ pages.
Someone should make a install file or patch for all these tweaks and fixes. It would be nice to have. Plus if you can pick which tweak or fix you want would be great. I am not good a programming only finding little things in programs that f**k up.
i have done it for myself, with reg tweaks + TCP optimization + Services deactivation etc ... BUT it is a patch i have done for MY needs, not everyone would like to use it because this or that is or is not activated ... EDIT : like i said in my previous post, it could be cool to group all working reg tweaks in the first page. I can post, if people want, the reg tweaks i used for myself and tested it.
Well, unfortunately, I don't have the time. If a mod wants to take the post, I have no issues with that. As for your tweak, you can at least detail what it does.
Okay i understand. I only did a compil of tweaks i want for my use that i have found here in the thread, and maybe one or two elsewhere ... nothing magical lol If i have the courage to translate in english the description, i will post it.
Reg Tweaks collection ATTENTION : DO NOT APPLY OR PATCH YOUR LIVE SYSTEM WITH A MEGA REG TWEAK WITHOUT TESTING IT IN VM OR READ DESCRIPTION FOR EVERY ENTRY, IF NO DESCRIPTION SEARCH IT ON GOOGLE THEN TEST IT WITH A REG BACKUP. Reg tweaks are often a personal preference, on a specific system, for certain needs. At least create a backup of your entire registry before applying a mega reg tweak. I have done some of it, i don't have time for the rest now, sorry. They all can be found in the thread, but if an admin want to use it to do a compil in the first page, and if others want to contribute, could be cool. I use Windows 10 Pro and have tested only in Pro. I want to explain that i have those reg tweaks created in reg format, but i use them in a bat form. I use a Bat file because i can in only one file add all my tweaks. I run this bar after the first boot, not in the setupcomplete.cmd, so i can't confirm if all will work during the setup, but in my tests they didn't.

nice list, but i tested in VBOX5 several times before and not working: "Disables the download and automatic updates from Windows Update" "Disables drivers search on Windows Update" maybe only thru GPO
It works for me. For the WU i have the notifications, but no auto download, i must search update manually to download and install. I use Win 10 Pro, not Home, and like a said in the top of my post, i use a bat only after the first boot, not during setup. Maybe because of that ?
Here are the correct settings: Code: 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."
You should replace this: Code: "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000003 with that: Code: "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000 Excerpt from DeviceSetup.admx Code: <enum id="DriverSearchPlaces_SearchOrderConfiguration_dropdown" valueName="SearchOrderConfig" required="true"> <item displayName="$(string.DriverSearchPlaces_SearchOrderConfiguration_AlwaysCheckWU)"> <value> <decimal value="1"/> </value> </item> <item displayName="$(string.DriverSearchPlaces_SearchOrderConfiguration_CheckWUIfNeeded)"> <value> <decimal value="2"/> </value> </item> <item displayName="$(string.DriverSearchPlaces_SearchOrderConfiguration_NeverCheckWu)"> <value> <decimal value="0"/> </value> </item> </enum>
