Windows 10 Tweaks & Fixes

I have had problems with the start menu from upgrade to final build 10240.

When ever I pin a item to the menu, it does not appear until I logout and back in or restart.

I was wondering if this is a problem for people who did a clean install too.

Is there any fixes for this buggy new start menu?

 

cmd has a built in changer the command is color ? will tell you what color code you can put in.bgs work too nice registry find i guess but not needed as it can do this by default

i use color c for light red.try it sometime

 

I will never use OneDrive at all!
So i remove it completely:

Unlike Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 or earlier Windows operating systems, OneDrive desktop app is tightly integrated with Windows 10. OneDrive folder is in File Explorer’s navigation pane right from the moment you starting to use Windows 10. In fact, by default Windows 10 does not provide a way for users to uninstall and remove OneDrive app, whether it’s from “Programs and Features” of “Control Panel” or Windows Store. You simply won’t find any OneDrive entry to initiate the uninstallation process.

So below is the solution how we can do this.


First run this reg to disable it:

REG version OneDrive_Disabling_Win10 :

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive]
"DisableFileSyncNGSC"=dword:00000001

Now Uninstall OneDrive:

Start Administrator Command Prompt:

1. Terminate any process of OneDrive by running the following command: taskkill /f /im OneDrive.exe

2.Uninstall OneDrive app by running one of the following command:

In 32-bit Windows 10 (x86): %SystemRoot%\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall

In 64-bit Windows 10 (x64): %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall


Now Cleaning and Removing OneDrive Remnants still in Administrator Command Prompt:

However, as OneDrive is a cloud storage service which is dealing with user data, there are remnants and leftovers from OneDrive app that are still available on the system as uninstallation does not remove user data, most prominently been the OneDrive folder. Run the commands below to clean up those remnants by deleting OneDrive related folders and their contents:

1. type: rd "%UserProfile%\OneDrive" /Q /S

Now Reboot System an Start Administrator Command Prompt again and run those:

rd "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneDrive" /Q /S
rd "%ProgramData%\Microsoft OneDrive" /Q /S
rd "C:\OneDriveTemp" /Q /S

Now Delete and Remove OneDrive in File Explorer Folder Tree Registry Key:

OneDrive has registry keys which add itself to the Navigation Pane of File Explorer in Windows 10. After uninstalling OneDrive, these registry keys are orphaned, and can be removed.

REG Delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" /f
REG Delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}" /f

Done!

OneDrive is now fully removed from your computer!

 

I've not tried this, but:

I recommend using an imaging tool to backup your hard drive before attempting any of the steps.

 

So is there no simple way to turn off OneDrive in 10 like there was in 8? I don't care about total removel, just want to turn it off in a way that I can turn it back on just as easily. In 8 it was a one line reg entry.

 

You can always just disable the start-up item. If you use Ccleaner this is real easy!

 

Just disable it in Startup tab of task manager

 

Perfect! Thanks to both of you, just exactly what I want...I have 700GB stored there with about 100k files just as an offsite backup..somehow MS gave me 10TBs free, don't ask me how but I really don't want it checking every so often for changes.

 

Here is my current sort of all-in-one script for Windows 10 Build 10240 RTM. Simply copy the script into notepad, save it as .cmd and run it as administrator.
To successfully block the telemetry servers via hosts file, you need to deactivate your antivirus software. Don't worry, it's safe.

Tested on 5 clients so far - works like a charm.

EDIT: Can't post the code due to my low post count. Uploaded the .cmd on zippyshare for you. Maybe someone else would like to post the code.

Upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Desktop and Laptop work fine.
Also upgraded Windows 8.1 in VM of my Laptop with no issues and also ok.
But after making the upgrade of Windows 8.1 in VM of my Desktop, the start menu doesn´t open. Everything runs, but the only thing which doesn´t work is the Start. Also the right click of start menu works. Just the start menu doesn´t open.
Is there a way to fix it?

Does anyone have a solution for the laggedy-ass response of the start-menu, beyond a third-party solution? On both my laptop and PC, I push the start button, and I have to take a number before it gets back to me. Not always; but most often.

 

the lag should be cause by the metro at the start menu... maybe delete all metro app at the start menu will speed it up...
i dun guarantee it but i am on Ltsb with out the metro app.. my start menu gain back speed... should be cause by the metro... but no guarantee works

 

Damn, I removed photos app by accident. Nice batch

 

I just wonder if can you use all hdd partition as GPT too? Any special good you can gain by change to it?
