There's nothing friendly about Windows when it consistently performs user-hostile actions like changing your settings without permission and reinstalling parts of the OS that you removed without asking you.

Imagine being told to have sex,
and you put your dick in that

>without your permission
let me guess, you just press OK because you cant read?

i want to nakadashi tooko-tan

how much time do i still need to wait?

well, others said it can take upto like 8 hours or more if compression is enabled

>tfw only 6 more months left to nakadashi nanami-chan

Why does the guide recommend KMS_VL_ALL over HWIDgen?

I regret "upgrading" to Windows 10, I should've stayed on Windows 8.1

Does touko-chan wear panties?

two, an old one that is being removed part by part and a new one that has holes

Anyone know a good download for CCMaker?

the one linked in the paste?

W10 is pestering me to restart to get the latest OS version. How do I make it stop? Whenever pic related pops up it minimizes any full screen tasks I'm running, and it's really fucking annoying.

I read that disabling exploit settings in Defender helps improving performance. Should I disable everything there or just CFG?

restart to get the latest OS version

Morons like you are the reason forced updates exist. Stop clicking "later" for 3 months and install your fucking updates.

>being a beta tester risking getting your files nuked
No thanks.

How many people are actually still using 7? I thought I would never move but I installed 10 LTSC at the start of the year and it's been working pretty well for me so far.

>Unironically crippling your hardware's performance for literally no reason provided you have good enough common sense
Thank you, but no thank you.

enough for microsoft to beg for us to switch

>user-kun, why haven't you updated me to version 1903?
>W-What do you mean you'd feel lonely being separated for 3 hours?

I'm retarded

I'm still on 1709
Is there even any reason to update

If you need specific features or something. I'm living in a first world shithole, so I needed the ability to throttle windows update download speeds.

I bought a windows 10 laptop, first time with windows 10. Removing the bloatware was easy because of the searchable control panel. I love having a privacy page where I can completely control what data the machine allows apps to have, and from what hardware, and in what scenarios. it seemed idiot proof, and I would know.

Been using it to write a book while on vacation, im a failed author. Have not installed any apps except facebook messenger through the Microsoft Store and firefox for Jow Forums. I bought a logitech mouse at walmart, been using both devices together for a week.

Today the mouse stopped working, even with new batteries, even with switching the bluetooth receiver to different USB ports. Also, now, the scroll wheel 'activates' on it's own. in firefox the webpages move on their own, and in explorer too.

I searched for it and everyone has this problem, on 3 different brands of mice, and the microsoft tech support is no help at all and just ignores you even though you follow their instructions.

This afternoon I rebooted the machine without the mouse plugged in, tapped my pin, and the desktop folder with my work is gone. I searched for it, it's gone. I put a new backup SD card I formatted using this laptop just for this purpose, also from walmart, in the laptop and copied it over. I opened explorer, right clicked on the SD card and ejected it. Then I removed the card. The machine rebooted and the folder is gone. I can replicate this all day, my girl is in the hotel room and thinks it's spooky. Every webpage i go too scrolls on it's own even thought the mouse is no longer connected. If I save a file from google images, when the machine reboots it won't be there. if I run notepad.exe, write test, save it to the desktop, and reboot the machine the file won't be there.

are the NSA rumors true, do these machines belong to someone else, like a library computer? and if so, how do I put linux on it?

Same, the performance is fucking shit holy fuck.

no, your computer is just haunted

what other features and shit should I dissable that aren t on the list?

maybe malware?

Maybe you are doing something wrong.

I was a fanatic with windows 8/8.1, that was the best OS ever,
but when i switch to W10, like 6 months ago, i will never go back to W8.1.

Yes, i know W10 was buggy and possessed by demons in the past, but now, the OS its very stable.

Just give another try.
Use official stuff, not pirated/cracked stuff. You are not a tech savvy.

>using a 10 year old OS with a 2 year old processor

Am I the only one whose laptop no longer fully goes to sleep?
In the past leaving it be would have the laptop fall asleep w/ power light off, and I had to press the power button to awaken it. Now when it sleeps the power button slowly flashes and you can wake it with keyboard and mouse. Is it just me or are other people having this too?

i wanna fug tooko

yes

What is chan approved redpilled IRC client? Hexchat?

yes

why even have this thread? windwos has no problems itself. it has user problem.

Um, lads? Is it true W10 is free to download and install? I've been running 8.1 since release and it's served me really well. There was a guide posted on Jow Forums years ago to best enhance the OS and that's done me well. Any reason I should upgrade? I mainly browse and play a couple of vidya games (Steam, emulators).

well, XP autism lasted two decades
see how seven going to burn and ruin a few companies too when security updates stop, just like couple years back with that slav virus

no, but you can get one for like $5-10
w10 is just better 7, no matter what autists say, just do not let it do anything automatic and do not delegate any permissions to OS without thought

>install W10 from optimized ISO with all bullshit removed
>especially edge
>install one single SECURITY-ONLY update
>edge is suddenly back
Getting real tired of your shit, Microsoft.

anyone?

I've got a few PCs. Been asked to upgrade one from official 7 Pro to 10 pro. I've lost the box with the product key on it. The PC has an SSD and a HDD. Win 7 is on the SSD. Programs and temp files are on the HDD. Will the Windows upgrade assistant realise this and keep things where they are during the upgrade?

Under an hour for me on ssd

edge is baked into the OS, you can't remove it doofus, only disable.

It's literally deleted from the modified ISO and does not exist to be installed. After installation from said ISO it didn't exist in c:\windows\systemapps at all.

that's a lie.

Is it now?

That's what they said 20 years ago and it was wrong then too. Funny how history repeats.

Hello all, just picked up a laptop from my dad, reinstalled windows ten in it and it's using , 100% cpu all the time and then its disk at 100% any idea of what to do?

Is it trying to catch up on updates in the background?

I don't know how would I check? It just updated itself

give more official ltsc waifu

give it a week to update, index and upload everything to NSA

Loool at the NSA, I guess I'll just let it update for a while and check

>There was a guide posted on Jow Forums years ago to best enhance the OS
See >rentry.co/ltsc_optimized

>tfw you can't go ltsc because you need 1903 for that sweet ryzen update

I use LTSC on r3600
i see no difference and it will get updated to it by next year so yeah

why did microshaft steal the Ubuntu version number scheme?

Use anything that isn't 10

Test

Just fucking restart holy shit, it's a desktop

irssi is the only approved irc client

Since the LTSC guide features good programmes at the end of debloating. Would a kind user share a patched version of Stardock's Groupy?

they no longer do that because they realized they can't keep up with their own dates. 1903 is just 19H1 now

Buy a license like I did. It's $5 now.

The real time protection is the real performance killer. Personally I just disable defender with gp and use common sense 2017 Ultimate edition:tm: instead

HELP

looks like she needs a big ServicePack so hard

Which version of W10 do you have/did you optimize, user?

>rentry.co/ltsc_optimized
any other windows apps/packages/windows features that are safe to be removed that aren t specified or named in the link above?

>Tell us about tools
AutoHotkey is amazing for binding common actions you frequently do to a single key.

any of ya lovely Jow Forumsunts gonna help me out? I don t wanna install this shit over and over again for 2-3 tweaks

well, 19H2 will be actually like a service pack

what makes irssi so great? (compared to say hexchat)

Hey guys, I want to run optimize offline on a win 10 pro iso from MS and then get that on a USB stick to install on a new pc I'm building. Is this the correct order of how to go about that?

1. Download Win 10 Pro 64bit ISO from MS
2. Run OO
3. Use rufus to create a bootable USB with the new ISO (GPT for UEFI {FAT32})
4.???
5. profit

pls help and thx

I hate windows 10 but I'd nakadashi tooko in a heartbeat

Do I need to post cunny and censored porn or hentai to get an aswer? Or ya fags are so far down the rabit hole that only trap shit does it for you now?

Experiment and post results fucking tard

Fuck I didn't know something like that existed. And here I wasted hours looking for some photoshop torrent that actually worked.
Cheers.

why do the white men continuously insist on taking away my rights

Hey, is there a W10 equivalent of MicroXP or Tiny7?

Running the SVF for enterprise as instructed in rentry.co/fwt produces an .iso named en_windows_10_business_edition_version_1903_updated_june_2019_x64_dvd_1f290297 which is only 128 KB big, I assume this is very wrong. Please help.

try x86 smv, other user had same problem last threas

Thank you, this appears to be working.

ntlite?

Yeah well, one could use it to make one such ISO, I'm looking for a ready to be used ISO, if there is one. Otherwise I guess I'll look into making one myself someday.

Hwidgen worked fantastic for anyone curious. Activated 3 copies of windows 10 Pro already.

how much ram would LTSC use if it was modified like the guide in the op? I already have ltsc installed and I won t do a new install for nothing

well there is this thing:

you can always use a vm
