I refer you to post #547.

For those of you reticent about installing Windows Updates (and you're bloody idiots if you choose to not install any!), there is a nice tool here that lets you be a bit more selective:

Download Windows Update MiniTool - MajorGeeks

Hope you've all got your Creators Update.

Here's whats new:

3D
VR
Nightlight
Game Mode and Game Broadcasting (for Buttplug)
Improvements to Edge
Improvements to Cortana
More Control over Updates and Privacy
Lots of Under the hood stuff.

and

The Green Screen of Death!

Been using Windows 10 for a while now it's okay just installed Lubuntu on the old laptop and think I'm going to install on the new laptop alongside Windows 10. Lubuntu hardly using any memory or cpu on the old laptop,want to see how they compare.

You can get plenty of life out of old kit by sticking Puppy on it, couldn't agree more.

Fortunately I get most of my gear paid for so normally donate the old stuff to someone who can use it and probably wouldn't otherwise be able to afford a computer.

Fucking saint, me.

Today's the day that Microsoft begins the worldwide rollout of the Windows 10 Creators Update. However, as with most noncritical software updates, the software giant is releasing the update in stages, meaning users may have to wait up to several weeks for it to appear in Windows Update.

There is a shortcut: Microsoft's Update Assistant tool.

Update Assistant enables users to kick off the update process without waiting for Microsoft's servers to issue the necessary software components. It requires a bit more manual intervention than the Windows Update feature that's built into Windows, but aside from downloading and running the tool, it's a fairly automated experience overall.

Before attempting to use Update Assistant, Microsoft cautions that the tool does not support Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows Server 2016. More information, along with a download link, is available in this online support document.

IT professionals wishing to test Windows 10 Creators Update before they deploy it to their PC fleets can try the evaluation versions instead. For administrators and business users, the update contains several under-the-hood enhancements that ease management and improve security.

The new Configuration Designer tool, formerly the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer tool, uses wizards to streamline bulk configurations. On the security front, the operating system is more resistant to ransomware, stealthy attacks and emerging threats for corporate customers that use Microsoft's AI-infused Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service. The software giant has collected the operating system's security settings into a single dashboard called the Windows Defender Security Center, enabling home users to quickly find and configure the firewall, antivirus and other protections.

Putting the "creator" in Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft has also included a number of content-creation extras. "Features include a new app, Paint 3D, that allows you to create or modify 3D objects, or turn 2D images into 3D works of art; built-in game broadcasting using Beam; and enhanced security features, such as a new Microsoft privacy dashboard," stated a Microsoft spokesperson in an April 11 announcement.

Microsoft Begins Staggered Rollout of Windows 10 Creators Update

This poxy update has really slowed down my laptop. It was very fast to boot up but takes ages now. It is an i5 processor. They are trying to get people to use their silly games and I have failed to uninstall their XBox software.

Is it safer to pull it off it now or wait until any glitches ironed out like a trial marriage?

How do you know when the process is happening, so can defer it please Task Manager, I am not very profficient when sober and after dark....?

It's been out on Insider Preview for weeks now. In fact I rebooted one of my PC's for yet another update this morning.

If you want to know if it's there, just go to Windows Update. If it's downloaded it will ask you for a reboot.

If you’re running the latest Windows 10 Creators Update, when you go to Settings > System > Apps & features, you’ll noticing that selecting certain built-in apps now have the uninstall button active.

Additional Windows 10 apps you can remove

Some of the apps you can now uninstall, which you weren’t able before, include:

Calculator
Groove Music
Mail and calendar
Maps
Movies & TV
OneNote
Voice Recorder
Weather
Xbox

If the uninstall option is not available to you is because you’re not running the latest Creators Update on your computer.

Windows 10 makes it easier to uninstall more built-in apps with the Creators Update ? PUREinfoTech

I have the latest version and it will not allow me to uninstall the XBox rubbish. I have removed the rest of the crap - some Mickey Mouse games new Paint, etc.

The Mail program is an improvement on the old one but I use Thunderbird so it is surplus to my requirements.

Do you not have an Uninstall button?

Or does it give you an error?

Nothing happens. I go into settings, Applications , highlight and press uninstall and sod all happens.

Funny, it's greyed out on mine.

But there are only two apps that refer to Xbox, one is 16k, the other is 24k. I doubt they are causing any problem.

Have you looked in Task manager -> Startup to see what's eating up resources?

It's no big deal and they are using nothing. It just shows that Microsoft are trying to sell things. I don't play games on a computer so they are of no interest to me.

But you said that "This poxy update has really slowed down my laptop".

It's had no such effect on any of mine.

Yes, sorry, and I will look as you have recommended. I have a Lenovo and it has a function which is supposed to reduce the booting up time. This has improved things but it is still slower than it was before.

Again, explore Task manager. It will not only tell you what's running and hogging everything (disk, network, memory) but also what's starting up that you might not want. And it's there that you can disable all that unwanted startup crap.

as you wish, love

to make sure stupid SMB1 is disabled:

Go to: "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanSer ver\Parameters"

Then add New DWORD key => SMB1 with Value = 0

Whoopee queer boy, now you can fix your unsupported OS.
