The whole OS is a huge Spy-box Amazing you can use it for other tasks. And people complaining about Kaspersky.

 

Did you read the changelog? did you see what Micro$h4ft has added to our new shiny virus OS?

 

Really no need for reading the changelog. Can smell it. And more will come. Mind you... 2 major updates a year. + monthly patches.

 

Embrace the dark side. Only way to disable telemetry and other "bloat" is not to update Windows selectively or backtrack to older versions w/ certain services disabled through gpedit.msc

 

I always search up all info I can get before I <eventuelly> update. Nothing good come from Micro$h4ft's Mickey Mouse HQ. You get "Mickey" everywhere in your OS Spy-Box if you use their update <services>. And as you know, none like mouse crawls in your houses and make damage!!


Edit...

So you upgraded to FCU? Clean install or in-place upgrade?

 

I never ever run upgrades. How in Hell can you think so? Ain't Stupid. Or maybe You think I'm? oh'well, thanks. FYI... FCU is a piece of Crap!!

 

I was just asking and was pretty sure what will be your answer. You're running Creators update, right?

 

Prime95 updated to v29.4

Spoiler: Changelog

1) GIMPS has a new sub-project -- finding (probable) prime Mersenne cofactors.
This sub-project has two parts: 1) Running PRP tests, and 2) Finding
additional factors. To support this new sub-project there are three
new work preferences: PRP on Mersenne cofactors, PRP double-checking on
Mersenne cofactors, ECM on Mersenne cofactors.
2) Like LL tests, PRP tests now support shift counts to aid in running double-checks.
Shift counts are only supported for Mersenne numbers and Mersenne cofactors.
3) PRP tests now support a type of low overhead error checking that almost guarantees
correct results even on flaky hardware. We call this Gerbicz error-checking after
it was proposed by Robert Gerbicz at mersenneforum.org. This error-check only
works for base-2 numbers.
4) Because PRP tests are highly reliable, we now offer the option to do PRP tests
instead of Lucas-Lehmer primality tests. There are 4 new work preferences
similar to LL work preferences: first-time PRP tests, world record PRP tests,
PRP tests on 100 million digit numbers, and PRP double-checking.
If you are looking for a 100 million digit prime, PRP testing is recommended
rather than LL testing.
5) For non-base-2 PRP tests, there is a new option to run each iteration twice and
rollback if a mismatch occurs. Useful only on flaky hardware due to the obvious
high overhead.

 

Have you tested?

 

Those look like being sad and shocked at the same time.
Maybe @Phoenix found an unknown Mersenne prime no.

Computers that have Internet connectivity and upgrade on or after November 14, 2017 will receive this preventative solution and avoid this issue. Machines that lack network connectivity or have already encountered this issue should follow the steps in the Microsoft Answers thread “Missing apps after installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update”. Microsoft will release and document an additional solution in a future release.

Avast bundles CCleaner with Avast Free Antivirus
"The installer download is placed prominently on the site however, and most users probably download and use it. The most recent installer comes with Avast Free Antivirus. It is offered on the first page of the installer, and enabled by default."

"Users who don't pay attention will install CCleaner and Avast Free Antivirus on their systems. While one could argue that offering Avast is better than many other products that are usually offered in adware installers, it is still the case that making these offers opt-out is not user friendly."

"CCleaner users who don't want Avast installed on the device they run the installer on need to uncheck the "Get Avast Free Antivirus now" box in the installer, or, and that is the highly suggested option, download the portable version of CCleaner instead as it ships without adware ."

 

Could be a options if you don’t want pay for Eset anymore And all in same Package, bruh. Just click and go But don’t download the portable. HeHe

 

I haven't lost my mind yet brah. I only support an AV which is.........well.....an AV......no bloat, no bells and whistles, and nothing else. A good file scanner and at most an HTTP Scanner which is what NOD32 has and see you

 

qBittorrent updated to v4.4.0
Passmark PerformanceTest updated to v9.0 (Build 1021)

nVIDIA GeForce Experience updated to v3.11.0.73

Macrium Reflect Free updated to v7.1.2718

 

Are they updating MR like FF beta builds? Last week I saw one update.

 

seriously, I hate this, I do a clean install, and they keep updating every few days. Macrium Reflect 5 was way more stable, a few builds and it was stable as heck to not need any updates

 

Why do a clean install when the installer powered by Installshield or Inno or others simply does the job for you. They clean existing files whilst replacing with newer files keeping your settings strings stored in a file.
Updating it every release isn't practical and you must learn to keep older versions if everything is working.
MR 6.x and 7.x has similar features. Hell, MR is still fast eventhough I have PM951 which is 2-3X slower than your RAID0+1 drives. I always use full image backups. Windows uses PCIe SSD and takes 10-15 mins for 40-50GB for full backup and 10 mins extra if Image verify is enabled. On Linux, the OS footprint is smaller about 14GB and full image backup takes 5 mins on Samsung 850 EVO SATA.
If I'd restore any images Linux is the fastest because of smaller footprint which takes 3 mins for a restore and for windows image restore it takes 7-8 mins on WinPE.
Versions 6 and above comes with rapid delta restore or something (I can't remember their feature list) which helps in distributing chunks of data onto disk rapidly.

 

you got me wrong baba, I don't do a clean install every time Reflect is updated. I was just saying, I did a clean install recently due to other things, and coincidently, Reflect got updated the next afternoon. I would've prefered to have the latest version when creating the image is all I was saying.

Macrium Reflect Free updated to v7.1.2722

Spoiler: Changelog

Bug Fixes v7.1.2722 - 21th November 2017:

• MIG not disabled
  For some customers, Macrium Image Guardian would still be active when disabled in the settings dialog. This has been resolved.

this is becoming a joke guys, it's like a daily virus definitions update now

 

WTH Why release it in 3 steps?
Told you I saw an update couple of days, day before yesterday and then today.

@Phoenix @Papusan @VICKYGAMEBOY @Mr. Fox @bloodhawk @j95 @Prema
A serious vulnerability in IMEI that enables hacker to take over the PC or crash it evidently and lots of other things. Most of cpus 6th gen are affected. https://malwaretips.com/threads/int...ting-6th-7th-8th-generation-core™-cpus.77478/
I want this thing removed from the PC forever.

 

They are most likely following the Micro$loth business model of pretending to offer value by cloaking an unstable product in a shroud of frequent and perpetual updates to distract as many people as possible from it's overall instability.

 

Yeah ive already told u, dell needs to update their BIOS asap.. still on the oldest firmware rofl.. actually even one of the file from station of 11.8 series got infecetd, it was taken from some OEM.. not sure which one, there is no way to remove IME, total disapointing intel decisions..like their BGA, why cant there be mini sockets, and ultra thin HS, little bit of thickness, but good for consumers, swap for next gen gpu, cpu etc, but the way intel is milking from customers is crap. every gen needs different Sockets.. almost atleast..

 

HashMyFiles updated to v2.24

 

LosslessCut updated to v1.9.0

 

Seriously doubt if they would release an BIOS update with ME included(They said 1.3.12 is the final BIOS release). Since our products are EOL. Looks like I have to my older lenovo with MEI 8. Darn, I need that thing removed, its a botnet. Luckily, only way is to disable MEI is through disabling its services in services.msc. Intel Dynamic app loader and such. I have to check Linux as well.

 

EOL in 1.5 Years of time, thats what i call BS Logic.. 2015 released.. and yet not a single upto date driver.. or any kind of softwares.. lets see.. did they announce somwhere that 1.3.12 is last BIOS ?

 

qBittorrent updated to v4.0.1

 

It updated twice in one day within just a couple of hours.
