Shutup10 can help with maybe 60 important issues except updates. StopUpdates10 does stop updates. If you have antivirus and firewall you don't need them weekly or monthly. I'm dual boot now with Linux Mint - because what I really need is an actual operating system for an actual computer, with a browser and not much more.
It will take little more to push me over the edge and become Linux Mint only. I have never hated an OS so much as I do Windows Yes, even WinME can't touch this hate.
Anyway, do you use each of those third-party software recommendations you mentioned? Is there any clash or overstep between them?
The only way to make Windows 10 manageable these days is firehosing it down with third-party OS tamers. Yeah, I'd be happier if they'd forget the new geegaws and just focus of fixing all the defects in networking.
The mind boggling amount of bloat was by biggest issue back when Win 10 was released and every 6 months i would try Win 10 again to see if it was getting any better but nope it has become even worse. It's a complete no go, i actually love Linux , virtually no bloat whatsoever and i grew out of the gaming phase when i hit 13 years old. It's not mentioned here in the article, but also has forward and reverse delta updates.
I have zero confidence in Win 10 Updates. It is a crapshoot lately and usually hours of troubleshooting to get systems running optimally. MS needs a new kernel - Linux based. I have 2 powershell scripts that help ease the pain of bloat ware.
Just add anything you want to keep but this is how limited i have it. Driver support is better and better integrated with Windows Update. Windows Update changes allow businesses to have a well tested OS as home users patch machines first which shouldn't matter for minor issues and businesses can now easily delay feature and stability updates as they choose by policy "Windows Update for Business" as oppose to smaller businesses requiring WSUS which is never managed correctly and ends up being a "patchwork quilt" full of security holes and impossible to test for developers.
Early access allows developers to test against builds against their software before patches which is unheard of in previous versions. Now, with Autopilot and other Azure integrations, it's easier than ever to have a computer come out of an OEM Box, put in your email address personal or corporate and have the appropriate apps, passwords, MFA, etc.
When Windows 10 was at about or so, and someone was having a problem with Windows 7 family as well my first step was to upgrade them to 10 remotely. I have had no complaints from them. OSaaS is a new concept and not fully mature yet but it was needed.
Windows has joined the Linux consortium and allows the kernel to run native not in a VM simultaneously on the hardware level and the integrations are only getting better I never thought i'd see the day!
If you break the "bloat" you break the benefit of having an OS with telemetry data that fixes itself without you needing to spend hours to get your Linux build just so. Don't break it and then complain about it.
Get an SSD and you're laughing. I had a virus outbreak at a client site that no scanner detected Malwarebytes, Webroot, Avast, Defender, Etc. I sent the source to MS and within 24 hours they had Defender, and "cloud" antispam, sharepoint, onedrive, etc. No one else gave me that kind of attention or impact. I could give many other examples. I still don't see why all the hate. What other OS allows the amount of compatibility and Direct vendor management.
Mac OS was a better "platform" in the past compatibility and other issues aside , but Since W10 it feels archaic. It is not perfect but they are running it on many millions of machines of countless configurations. Also, as of , there are way more questions for the paranoid take a look at the setup process.
It is to an extent that even their MDM solution can't location track like others as they get so much focus and blame for collecting info. Look at MS InTune v.
