Windows 10 Redstone 4

And I can't see @KY_BULLET have the need for install RS4. If it works as it is now, don't fix it.

 

I'm on Version 1703...16.299 I believe is the build or something along those lines.

Yeah I'm not going to update, until I have to update

 

I always thought latest was the greatest right??? Same goes for Nvidia Ngreedia graphics drivers...Yes???

I believe if you break down what version 16.299 means this would be in; 16=Times failed...299=How many developers dummies they have working on the next fail lol!

 

Well said!

 

Thanks, Sister @Mari1225. It's not hard to hate Windoze OS X as long as Windows 7 continues to function. It comes naturally. I think part of the reason Micro$lop pushes it so hard is they know their newest product is inferior. They just don't want to admit it because they'll lose way too much money. And, then they would have to fess up to all the lies they've been telling everyone since July of 2015.

 

@KY_BULLET I was on v1703 and now updated to v1803.

 

I could not agree more! I feel like I am running through hoops like a trained dog lol since I got Win 10. getting tired here man... lol

I was very resistant to getting win 10 and waited for a year before I upgrade.... but I am seriously considering going back to win 7.

 

Exactly!!!

 

I use cortana sometimes but rarely it works. It often says Please recite again OR I'm not connected to the internet, so can't talk!

 

You talk to her when you sit in a bus, train and in a flight as well? And not forget in a Cafe. @Phoenix

 

Hahaa, No I just test Cortana to see if it works after gaming/coding.

 

Hey we all need friends, lol she has a lovely voice lol hahahahah!

 

I prefer to talk with real people And not with the robots in NSA HQ

 

She be dead on my PC. I killed the digi-slut. Ding dong the witch is dead. We're not in Redmond any more, Toto.

 

Well aren't you picky sir lol

 

Probably, but I want a life. If I remember correctly I don’t think I have used it a single time on my computers. On a phone maybe max 4 or 5 times the last years. And this will continue.

 

Honestly I have never used Cortana, I disable her after every update for win 10 But ya I hear ya! I know they sell our info online

 

I have more luck/experience with computers/machines than human females.
I like machines more than anything and animals too. They love me so much!!!

 

Was she able to order you a big Mac combo?

 

Maybe she ordered Cold Mac combo for papusan.

 

Could (would) she order an iMac?

 

She will probably incline towards SP 4 or SB lineups.

 

@Phoenix
Going by how the thread is, it feels like I made a mistake into updating into RS4. Apart from the Ultimate Power Performance settings, what are the other stuff that we've tweaked before that needs retweaking?

EDIT: Got around to tweaking some stuff. My main concern after that is the volume level. I am all the way down to 1, but it still sounds like it's at 50 or something.

EDIT 2: So, I somehow found an old link for Clevo support on Realtek through Prema's website. Sound is fixed, but I'm now paranoid of whatever stuff I have yet to fix/retweak because of the update.

 

@Mr. Fox @Papusan

Just when you thought it couldn't get any uglier....

Micro$h4ft Turns local OneDrive files to on-demand files automatically

User comment:

Who are they to decide what I want to keep online only?? what if I have 10TB of space on my taptop! This is absurd man!

Moral of the story:

Microsoft wants you to know Windows 10 is faster and more reliable than ever.......NOT

 

Makes sense for the average customer, if it were properly implemented, as many of them if not most aren't exactly that computer literate and may not have much storage, however the big problem here is:
1. Base storage for new OneDrive users is only like 5GB Free vs like 30GB Free for initial users like me making this option kinda useless swapping around max of 5 GB back and forth wasting bandwidth as not everyone even has paid OneDrive accounts.
2. Settings are really convoluted now with Control Panel and Metro Settings so if they want to disable it the average user wont know what to do. On iPhones for photos for example you can disable optimized storage by simply going to the photos settings which only under one layer options.
3. This should be Opt In as in add a Windows Notification Tip to enable this option so new users know it exists and can use it if needed and power users don't need to hassled by it. If you want this to be Opt Out MS should not make their god damn settings so convoluted. For god sakes in 7/8.1 I could jut right click on the WiFi icon to see details like link rate and data in/out now we need to go to adapter options, so more menus. How is this making things simpler, for a Mobile/Desktop fusion OS this is everything but simple.

I personally just disable OneDrive and keep it uninstalled, granted I have a NAS with web connectivity, I just use the OneDrive/Google drive via web if I really need to and even Office 2016 can access documents on OneDrive without One drive being installed.

 

I have only one opinion of Micro$loth now.


Here is the solution... one word: teamwork.

 

@Phoenix - don't forget about "Plan B" bro.

 

KB4284835 may cause Edge to stop working, says Microsoft
It turns out that there is one more problem packed in the Windows 10 cumulative update series released this month. Update KB4284835 was launched with just one known issue. Microsoft noted in the official announcement that some of the users who will be running Windows 10 version 1803 might be faced with the error that says “ An invalid argument was supplied” when they try to access files or run programs from a shared folder using the SMBv1 protocol.

Microsoft adds a new issues on the official KB page
The tech giant updated the page with a brand new found issue, and the info says that Microsoft Edge browser could face some errors after users install the June 2018 patches. It seems that the browser might stop working correctly when it starts the download of a font from a problematic URL.


And this MESS below won't make it any better New features as this will be added to all versions. Be you sure.

NEWS ANALYSIS
Win10 Update Facilitation Service joins Update Assistant V2 to make sure you get patched
If you’ve been trying to keep Microsoft’s forced updates and upgrades off your machine, your job just got harder. With KB 4056254, we now have a new Win10 Update Facilitation Service joining its comrade-in-arms Update Assistant V2 to ensure no patch gets blocked.

 

@Mr. Fox @Phoenix Seen this?
Windows 7 -- 2018 Edition is the Microsoft operating system you've been waiting for.-Betanews.com
Can't be any worse than Win X

 

It would be a real shame to screw up Windows 7 by adding the worthless crap features that Windows 10 lovers like about Windows 10. I think Windows 7 is better in more ways than Windows 10, and I hate tiles. The new Start menu is junk compared to Windows 7, and Aero is superior to Acrylic. And, Cortana? Oh hello no, LOL.

Does that spoofed concept look better than Windows 1o? Of course, but that's not actually saying much because Windows 10 is just a butt ugly Hepatitis OS, only marginally more aesthetically pleasing than the Windows 8.X dog dukey UI. The needle moved in the right direction, but not far enough. Really, about the only feature Windows 10 has that would make Windows 7 better is the Win-X menu. Some would say DX12 as well, but in the 3 years since it was introduced it is still not particularly relevant. DX11 and Vulkan are more relevant.

All that said, I would grudgingly put up with and stop complaining it if they would just ditch the Nazi updates, Cortana, UWP and Store App virus crap completely and fix the CPU performance-killing cancer and RTC bugs that were introduced with Windows 8.X and never fixed. If a person decides they want to stay on the same release of Windows 10 for 3 to 5 years, they should be able to do that, no questions asked, without having to resort to OS tweaks and registry hacks.

 

I feel this concept made W7 worse than W10. I hope MSFT doesn't follow this scheme on W10.
I don't need dark mode and OS X copycats on w10. For now it is working fine.

 

I dunno. I like it.

 

I am still thinking about it lol I cannot seem to make myself update lol I am happy with my settings right now. Everything is working lol I may hold out a while ...

 

With the help of Daz, my BIOS was updated to C6 experimental microcode from intel. The perf. imapct is too high and I disabled spectre protection in windows to get the performance I need. Although Linux with retpo so far has minimal slowdowns on skylake but stutters on my ibybridge pentium CPU.

 

Runs Screaming!!!!

 

What will RS100 turn out to be in future yr. 2066?

 

I do not want to know lol I am keeping all images of my hard drive for all versions lol so I always have a back up to go back

Note tho, I did update to your Iso image you made for my lappy here, it works good! Thank you!

 

Thanks.
The ISO was generic one. I installed it on my 2 PCs, my sisters w/o any issues aside from Windows 10 SCU bugs of course!

 

After last update, my wireless docking station disconnects all the time - whenever some of 4x HDDs go to sleep regardless of others being used, when I disconnect my DJ controller, or just without any ****ing reason; color profiles are impossible to use because whenever any device gets connected - be it Bluetooth, USB, or whatever - the screen starts flickering between the applied profile or no-profile at all, hell even when display orientation changes - it flickers once between uncalibrated and calibrated - so I'm stuck with poor colors on my laptop's monitor.

I initially thought the problem was in my wireless dock or related cabling inside the notebook - but after seeing the same symptoms when connecting devices directly to laptop by wires/Bluetooth, finally figured out the culprit. Sadly, I deleted old Windows version earlier and can't roll back. )'=

**** **** **** Microsoft!

 

I have the same issue with my bluetooth Samsung speakers, I have to reconnect every time even if BT is on, Then to get it to stay connected, I have to shut off BT and Back on 3 times to get it to stay connected. I thought it was just the speakers.... But my samsung 8 phone will connect with the Lappy BT just fine.... without prompting if the BT is on, on the phone. The phone automatically prompted to download the Samsung driver too.... I wonder if that is why it works better than the BT speakers.....
I have searched for a driver for my BT speakers however I have not found one yet.....

 

Try installing BT drivers made for W7. Uninstall W10 BT driver first then install W7 BT driver.

 

Thank you Vasudev!! i will try this this week.

 

@Mr. Fox @Phoenix More people will be forced on this OS before time!! Oculus Drops Support for Windows 7 & 8.1
“Oculus said it decided to drop Windows 7 and 8.1 support because Microsoft doesn’t support those operating systems anymore.”

People in Micro$h4ft Hq is the culprit!! As usual. Easiest way to increase Win 10 market shares... Aka Let the others do the ****y work!!

 

Its just a formality to show W7/8.1 is old and on life-support since they're close to EOL.

 

You know everything can change very fast. And I don’t trust on others.

 

Ok I know this is a known issue however it has become worse. before I could use SHUTUP 10....

I cannot for the life of me shut off automatic updates, EVEN though it is shut off in registry, and using SHUTUP10 and using Winaero on top of that. I have to leave SHUTUP10 on and open. This just happened when I updated to 17134.48

After each restart i bring up SHUTUP 10 and it says my automatic updates are on again, so I shut them off and restart, AGAIN they are on when I open up SHUTUP 10 .....

 

Then is something screwed up. Winaero tweaker often screw up if you use this tool + many other optimization tools. Try use WUMP Wrapperscript. You find it in Majorgeek. The Win 10 services is a living Hell!!

 

I use Winaero, WUMT wrapper script(MG) etc.. w/o any issue.
@Mari1225 W10 is skynet now, so every patch Tuesday it can auto start win updates even if its disabled in services.msc
Only WUMT wrapper can truly lock the services with SYSTEM protection/access.
I'm also asking the developer to add services like BITS, DO, system runtime, system guard runtime guard, windows update broker etc....

 

Don’t tell me that optimizing tool as etc Winaero tweaker can’t screw up. Some run into trouble and some not. None have 100% equal setups.

 

I ran into troubles but after through checking. I enable safe ones. Even Mari1225 uses the same settings like I do since I'm the one who set it up!
