Just to any temp folder then run the setup from there

I extracted mine to D:\Phoenix\Downloads\DirectX 9

hi Phoenix, i already installed it but nothing happened. im still on dx12.

 

You will only see the latest DX Version. Installing DX9 only installs the necessary older DX Libraries so you will always only see DX12


For example, you install Steam right, then install a game called ABC....

That game, upon first launch, will instal DX Again...which DX? well, the one that it needs, let's see DX 9 or 10.... it doesn't remove the newer DX which ships by default in Windows 10 which is DX12, it is simply adding the necessary DX libraries that it needs as its game engine was built around that DX version

 

I just voted thinking this was a poll for Phoenix to go by when he creates it, lmao Microsoft just a a few cusswords by accident in the comment section, I said something like **** give me a barebones version with Fluent UI and no windows defender and no telemtry... lol

 

All in One Runtimes is a pretty useful package too if you didn't know about it yet, using it myself after installing a fresh copy

 

j00 have not been following me then...

In this thread: Phoenix Software Updates

Look for.... Download all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables Libraries (All-In-One Installer)

Hello and welcome to last year my friend

 

but wait there is more in my package, at least it looks like mine is different, mine includes DirectX Runtimes and stuff

 

I understand....my bad

 

nothing to feel bad about, you doing godsent stuff for the freefolk of NBR

 

You could try Comodo FW which includes a very good HIPS module and signature less detection which when configured correctly can stop malwares and ransomwares.

 

I decided to just use Windows Firewall, because my Malwarebytes Premium Lifetime License already uses HIPS... I think it does anyway... I have Windows Firewall set to Block All Connections... but my downloading and browsing and gaming habits all seem fine still... I thought if I blocked everything in Windows Firewall my internet would stop, but I guess not, lol.

I rock a good VPN 24.7 as well that has built in protection in its servers... AIR VPN one of the few hacktivist approved VPN''s.

If Malwarebytes does not use HIPS... please someone let me know if it does not, then I will definitely try another Firewall.

 

I use Windows FW control by Sphinxsoft while there are alternative from Binisoft and others as well.

 

i still can't install messenger and instagram from windows store.
i already install directx9.

 

@Phoenix

Maybe we get rid of game

No offense, but you don't belong here with us. Go use regular Windows 10. This is barebones for a reason.

 

my thoughts exactly, he's using the wrong version of Windows

This is an enthusiast version of Windows 10 with no fluff and no garbage Windows Store apps are meant to be used here.

 

Not exactly. Everybody has the right to use bloatware free version to get best Windows 10 experience.
@oipsst: You can use sfc /scannow and Dism to repair certain components. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7808-use-dism-repair-windows-10-image.html

 

I put in this so people can understand how DirectX works Why Does Every PC Game Install Its Own Copy of DirectX?

 

Very informative for a noob like me. Thank you @Papusan

 

well, i'm VERY SORRY about that. i really like this bloatfree verson of windows. im just asking why i can't install messenger, instagram etc. those apps are very important to me, because i'm using it on my online business, most of the time i always on my desktop editing stuffs. i seldom use my phone to answer inquiries so i switch to windows 10. if there's any way to install this again, please do help me.

Phoenix, if there is a way to install this on your bloatfree OS please, i really really need this.

 

did you try installing steam and a game or two to let it install the required DirectX libraries?

I have no issue installing any app using the Bloatware Free Edition

 

I think he is specifically referring to Windows Store installations... but honestly mate, its up to you but I would not go out of your way to help someone who wants to install Instagram through Windows Store... sorry to all of you if it is offensive of me, but yeah those people just do not belong here, nor on overclock.net where my other brothers are. We are kings among men. Yeah, I have ego issues

 

Not good, bruh

Spoiler: Don't click if you are too touchy :)

 

I tried intalling that Instagram app on my computer just to test but it looked fishy, it said the developer was Instagram, but the logo was blue. Instagram NEVER hs a blue logo, it should be like pinkish reddish so I didn't go forward. And I don't know what messenger he's talking about to test that

 

Ok I installed Messenger and launched it just fine on this same Bloatware Free Edition but I have Steam and Origin installed with a few games so I have all the DirectX Libraries on my PC:

 

But, but you haven't a Bloatware Free Edition anymore with this, I don't know how to call it on your machine now +rep bruh. Yoo made a bro happy now. You will get it when I can give you new reps. @hmscott

 

I un-installed it within 10 seconds brah

 

I would if I had it installed. Within 10 seconds? Too long, bruh!! Maybe you should OC a bit more?

 

It is legit app, default Store accent color is blue on all apps in Win X Store.

 

That 10 seconds is all the NSA Facebook secret partnership needed to implant 1 million hidden trackers into your motherboard BIOS.

gg life.

Let me wrap us both up in tinfoil now just to be safe

 

Just installed the latest version, seems like the best version yet!

Thanks man.

 

Just wait until he does Redstone 3 next month, the Fluent UI is very very sexy

 

Not worth it yet, a number of problems that will come with that build is too large.

I will wait for bug fixes, and then afterward jump the wagon.

 

indeed, this is the most polished up version to date

 

By far, absolutely crazy.

 

It still has one problem that Redstone 3 does not have, and that is for those of us who overclock are monitor refresh from 75hz to 100hz, or even desktop 60hz to 110hz on south korean panels, Nvidia color profile adjuster will not stick... yet it sticks fine in Redstone 3.

Other than that, this would be a perfect OS for me and I would be done and done forever. I really wish AMD could match 1080 ti or 1180 ti when it comes out... if it can... I seriously may consider an all AMD build for my ultimate rig in summer 2018... but I doubt that happens.

Side note: Nvidia drivers now have telemetry baked into the graphics driver, it used to be attached to Nvidia Geforce Experience only (I don't install that or Vision driver anymore and I do clean installs of the actual graphics driver too), but I noticed today Bitdefender Firewall on Paranoid Mode gave me a pop up and said hey, should we allow Nvidia telemetry backend? I was like nope, denied. lol.

 

Old news Same ****y everywhere now, bruh You have to do your own Due Dilligence!! It's have started being a very very sick world!!

 

Micro$h4ft and nVIDIA probably know your shoe size even

 

I'll let you know if and when nvidia or M$ will push advertisement in desktop about shoe store nearby me that has shoes in my size I haven't Cortana. But IF I had, I could ask her if she already knew it I mean my Sho size

 

Nvidia have had a number of attempts to force telemetry, are you saying the newest one isn't something you can turn off / disable?

I haven't used this, but it's currently maintained - recently updated, maybe it can help others that don't have BitDefender, or firewall settings to disable Nvidia telemetry call out's:

All I did here was use a hosts edit to kill the geforce update check and not install GeForce Exp by choosing custom install.

Here's another example of what someone else did for those looking as well.

 

Microsoft Security Updates September 2017 release (Direct update downloads) Where's my GP?


"Suggestion: Windows updates may backfire; they may introduce issues or even block the PC from booting or functioning properly. I suggest you create a backup of the system before you install updates"

 

I did a clean install of Bloatware Free 5.9 today for the Windows Septemember patch that came out today, 0 issues, actually... after updating everything, and playing a few games, I no longer have issue with my Nvidia color profiles sticking anymore either, not sure if the Windows update did it or what, but yeah... very awesome.

I have shut up10 activated, SecHealth done, and Bitdefender Firewall on paranoid mode... everything is going peachy for me, don't think I will bother with Redstone 3 or any future updates for a solid 6-8 months, now that I have my color profile the way I want and no telemetry, its time to just have fun and enjoy.

 

Amazing Or maybe wait and see a few days

I've been having to play in borderless window mode because the color profile would not revert back to default after exiting a fullscreen game. This was supposed to be fixed in Redstone 3, but did this September patch resolve it?

 

Resolved it for me but I am not using latest drivers, latest drivers break the color enfrocement (including in RS3 preview) but if you use ummm i forget the number, Nvidia drivers ending in .72 and its the mass effect launch drivers. these drivers work flawless at color enforcement (its the last driver they made that doesnt have that option when you overclock your refresh rate, there is an option under there to use nvidia color options or default, this was never there in older drivers, its this feature of the nvidia drivers that broke it, not windows itself... i have reformatted 15x this year, just cause well i get bored... so yeah thats what i have realized. regardless everything is finally working for me. im not touching anything anymore, all drivers are up to date except for my nvidia drivers obviously... but oh well. everything is running perfect so screw it, im not risking messing this up, not even with next months Windows update im sure bitdefender can handle the next 6-8 months for me easily enough if things go cray cray on the virus end of the world, but meh. im not worried, i only game 24.7
