Windows 10 Redstone 5

It is most likely related to your Clevo Center or MSI Control Center to get those Fn+F* shortcuts to work correctly.

 

@Papusan @bloodhawk @Mr. Fox @saturnotaku

What do these people smoke? Seriously....

 

Is there any wonder why things are what they are? People like that give the Redmond Retards reason to be confident in their own future. Without people of such great ignorance, the adoption rate of Windoze OS X would be substantially less than what it is now, 3.5 years after it's launch.

 

The devolution of mankind is intense with this one.

 

It's OK to be ignorant. Everyone is ignorant about something. But, it's really sad when our destiny is determined on the basis of what an ignorant majority is willing to put up with.

 

Not again.

Somebody needs reply to the thread and tell him, " Yes, it sure does... in fact, it will also upgrade your standard 1080p TN display to 4K IPS 144Hz G-Sync display." LOL.

Edit... took care of it myself.

Agree 100%. +5 rep

 

I wouldn't ignore that issue, Ubuntu 18 LTS incorrectly reads EDID of monitor and shows my AW can have refresh rate of 120Hz when it can do only 60Hz. It seems Windows NT kernel is slowly being merged with Linux kernel 4.15.xxx. At least, Linux sets refresh rate correctly unlike Win 10. I'll post that screenie some other time since I'm using a different PC.

De-bloating aborted, MSMG Toolkit is way too buggy, the letters for removing X app for example do not correspond with the correct app and trying to remove the Maps app, I press the corresponding letter for it (which is L), I just get a beep and nothing happens

 

Microsoft Is Talking About Windows 10’s Quality, But Changing Nothing Howtogeek.com | 13 Nov


Microsoft today re-released Windows 10’s October 2018 Update. Rather than explaining what went wrong, Microsoft publicly patted itself on the back for its great quality assurance process. Microsoft promises increased transparency and better communication, but talk is cheap.


"Our focus until now has been almost exclusively on detecting and fixing issues quickly, and we will increase our focus on transparency and communication. We believe in transparency as a principle and we will continue to invest in clear and regular communications with our customers when there are issues."

---------------------------------------

Microsoft finally re-releases the smelly turd that is Windows 10 October 2018 Update Betanews.com | Nov 13

Look, I am sorry to speak so bluntly, but Windows 10 is a smelly turd. At one point I felt like it had a lot of potential, but over the years, I have seen its quality take a massive nosedive. Microsoft has committed brand suicide many times over its long lifetime, but this time, it feels different. Regardless of what Satya Nadella thinks about services and the cloud, Windows is still the company's crown jewel -- for the operating system to have fallen so far is a tragedy.

Why is Windows 10 garbage? Well, it still has a schizophrenic user interface with silly tiles and two settings menus (merge with Control Panel already!). Not to mention, it is a privacy nightmare with its abusive telemetry. Even if you can deal with those aforementioned shortcomings, it has since gotten much worse with the October 2018 Update -- it began deleting user files and losing the ability to associate file types with certain apps. Its much-maligned activation scheme has been failing too. Yes, in 2018, what should be a mature operating system can't even do the basics. Sigh.

 

Yes and their re release bricked my already updated machine.

 

More details would be nice.

 

Mapped Network Drives issue in Windows 10 version 1809

Fix/Workaround: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-drives-don-t-work-in-windows-10-version-1809

 

I am so glad I kept my 1803 installation media.

 

And here's the workaround: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-drives-don-t-work-in-windows-10-version-1809

 

Windows 10 1809's new rollout: Mapped drives broken, AMD issues, Trend Micro clash Zdnet.com | November 15, 2018 -- 11:03 GMT (03:03 PST) |

Steer clear of the rereleased Windows 10 October 2018 Update, IT pro warns. Meanwhile, Microsoft promises fix for buggy mapped drives at some point next year.

Despite taking over a month to fix and test the data-deleting bug in Windows 10 1809, Microsoft didn't fix this mapped-drives bug

However, noted IT pro Susan Bradley is warning her followers to defer installing Windows 10 1809 for as long as possible because Microsoft's suggested workarounds could cause troubles with business applications.

"I cannot believe -- well, I guess in this era of Microsoft I can believe -- that Microsoft would release an update that would impact their customer base like this. Yes, it's documented, yes there are 'workarounds', but there are possibilities that line-of-business applications will not be happy with these solutions given," wrote Bradley.​

In the past 24 hours Microsoft has also confirmed two more problems with the rereleased 1809. There's a compatibility issue between the 1809 update and Trend Micro's Office Scan and Worry-Free Business Security software.

At the request of Trend Micro, Microsoft has blocked the 1809 update for devices running these security products until a patch from Trend Micro has been installed.

Trend Micro has posted a support page about the issue together with its patches. Patches are only available for OfficeScan.

The third issue that's cropped up affects machines with AMD Radeon HD 2000 or HD 4000 series video cards.

Tabs in Microsoft's Edge browser may stop working on affected devices, and customers may see the error message 'INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_atidxx64.dll'. There could also be performance problems with the lockscreen.

Again, Microsoft has blocked the 1809 update for all devices with the affected AMD graphics processors.

YEES. Micro$hity just had to throw out this mess before time... Nvidia's new expencive graphics cards features "Direct X Raytracing" has to be on track was more important than that the AMD boys can use their newest OS Mess!

 

Me too. I'm still on older 345 builds because MS DEFCON lists update reliability as unclear.

 

It actually Just happened when I posted this. I went and got my wifes dell. So I got a BSOD stating could not find boot or something. I thought oh JUST GREAT. Now I am in for a few hours of messing with it. Come to find out it was my hard drive **** the bed. I went to install windows again, fresh install and NO drive was found when looking for destination drive. So, I am on my wifes inspiron 11 and am ordering 2 new SSD from amazon. a 1tb for me and a 500 gb for her. Might as well. While I have it opened, I am going to double check on ram for this one, and I am going to replace the battery in my computer that's failing quickly.

 

Most likely a BIOS configuration issue. A healthy drive won't die suddenly after update. Play with RAID or AHCI settings.
Get the micron/crucial ssd or samsung pro or adata xpg sx series or wd black 2018.

 

Still ATi Radeon, for products that old. The renaming was not retroactive.

At any rate, AMD officially ended support of those cards (what happened to the HD3000?), in 2013.
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-legacy

Coincidentally, Crossfire (2x) HD4870s were my last Radeon setup.

 

And we are on it again.... Please puke with me
Kudos to Microsoft: Resurrecting the Release Preview ring for Win10 1809 brings 17763.165 to heel
By Woody Leonhard, Columnist, Computerworld | NOV 16
Somebody at Microsoft deserves a medal. There’s a new, test version of the next Win10 1809 cumulative update floating around – KB 4469342 – and it’s being distributed through the Insider Release Preview ring. That is precisely where it should be.

Nice. Want it, then you're welcome Don't forget the Servicing Stack patch if you haven't installed it.
KB4469342 + KB4470788 Windows 10 17763.165 (manual download)

Oh'well. At least no drop in performance (stock clocks).


-------------------------------

It seems Redmond Morons/retards prefer to fiddle with more trash instead for using " it's time " to create a working OS...
Microsoft could be about to hit users of Windows 10's Mail app with ads -- unless they pay up

Ads in your inbox. Sounds like something you'd expect from the likes of Google or Yahoo, but Microsoft appears to be about to get in on the act as well.

And we're not talking about online ads in your Outlook.com account -- we're talking about ads in the Mail app that's included with Windows 10. A new report says that Microsoft is currently " testing " ads with Windows Insiders guinea pig, so it could be just a matter of time before they spread wider.

 

I’m going with a Samsung 860 pro 1tb ssd for my computer and a 860 evo 500gb for my wife’s dell.

 

A small step in right direction. But what will come instead?

"The news comes as Microsoft continues to find new ways of monetizing Windows 10. We've seen games like Microsoft Solitaire Collection go freemium, while Solitaire used to be a staple of the OS, and we've seen ads pop up in the Start Menu and more."
​

https://www.neowin.net/news/microso...-windows-10-mail-app-for-non-office-365-users

 

I hope its standard 2.5" drives and not M.2. Drop M.2 860 evo model and stick with 2.5" version of the same.

 

Both are standard 2.5 versions.

 

Windows 10 Redstone 5 Home/Pro De-bloated Edition

After you install the OS, the first thing you need to do is head click on the Start Menu > Windows System > then right click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator

Then copy/paste the following command:

Code:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

Then configure all your Windows settings/library location (ie. Documents, Music, Pics, etc) then install drivers and you're good to go

PS: This ISO has most of the Windows Store Apps removed, Windows Defender Removed, Microsoft Edge Removed, Cortana Removed, Windows Error Reporting Removed, Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program removed, etc. BUT Windows Telemetry was NOT removed as it will break the functionality of some Windows Store apps (unfortunately some drivers/system devices need their Windows Store app to function properly) BUT you can disable Telemetry using O&O ShutUp10 after installing Windows that will not break Windows Store apps.

 

You should have done that DISM cleanup so that most dangling references to UWP apps and things you removed should have reduced the size to 3GB from 4.5GB stock. Once you use MSMG and removed everything close the MSMG application and point the directory to use Win Toolkit to mount it and use DismCleanup to shave off some 500Megs on each edition. Don't use NTLite Dism feature it is broken and actually increases the ISO size and makes it bigger than stock OS by breaking most stuffs which needs sfc /scannow to fix everything.
I think with your system those cleanup should be completed in 30 mins for all editions because of RAID. My drive throttles to 100MB/s doing the cleanup for one edition and it reaches 75C and speed drops are insane.

 

Thank you very much for this.. ^_^

 

Just finished testing the de-bloated version. Everything works perfectly including Windows Store Apps. Cortana is completely gone even from the OOBE Setup when you first install Windows and so is Windows Defender.

This is the fastest Windows 10 you could get right now without breaking the basic functionality

 

Of course.. Your the one tested it.. I'm sure it's great.. My Win 10 v1709 has been very stable and this is because of your guide.. ^_^
I will start downloading the programs that I need for a new clean install..

 

Windows 10 V1809: Known Issues - Part 4
Published on November 19, 2018 by Günter Born

​

Since the re-release of Windows 10 October 2018 Update (V1809) to November 13, 2018, new problems have become known. In continuation of the parts 1 to 3 I give in this blog post an overview of the state of affairs.


The basic functionality is already broken by Redmond Morons themself, bruh

Fastest Windows 10... What about benchmarks? Seen increased CBR-15 scores? Please post
Compare with what you got from Win 10 RS4 April Update

Edit. Btw want this?
How To Enable Light Theme in Windows 10
Starting in Windows 10 Build 18282, the operating system includes a new light theme that changes the color of the Start menu, the taskbar, and the Action Center to white with acrylic effects. Also, the 'Colors' page of the Settings app was updated to include a set of new options to customize the appearance.

 

Does anyone know many people works with developing W today compared to 10 or 15 years ago? I know they're a lot fewer, but not in numbers.

Also I wonder when they're going to drop this update twice a year thing, once a year is enough for me..

Edit: ..or every third year.

 

I would be down with light theme

 

Looks like W98 High Contrast Theme I used on my B/W CRT monitor on a Zenith PC.
What are they thinking??? Are they making Android or what?

 

Thanks much! Your clean install guide goes so much faster without having to do all the disable Defender/Cortana stuff.
Really, this has been the first time I've spent much time with the 18xx builds… crap, a lot has changed

 

Not the first time Intel display drivers screw up. YEES, More issues keep coming

Microsoft Is Blocking Windows 10 1809 on Some More Machines – Intel Drivers to Blame Wccftech.com | 22. Nov

It took the Windows maker over a month after the initial release of the latest edition of Windows 10 to figure out the problems and resolve them. The re-release officially started last week and since then reports of more issues keep coming. Microsoft has itself reported several problems with Windows 10 version 1809.

Microsoft has today added another problem to the list. The latest issue is with some new Intel display drivers. The problem appears to be due to an Intel driver introduced before the official release of 1809. Microsoft wrote that the chip maker inadvertently released versions of its display driver to OEMs that accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows. While the release of these drivers happened back in September, it is creating problems for some users who have upgraded to version 1809.

------------------------------

Devices with Intel Audio Display Drivers may lose sound from a monitor or TV after updating to Windows 10, version 1809 answers.microsoft.com
After updating to Windows 10, version 1809, I’m no longer getting sound from a monitor or television connected to the PC via HDMI, USB-C or DisplayPort.


"This isn’t the first issue reported with Intel as an Intel Smart Sound Technology driver (version 09.21.00.3755) audio issue was also previously documented."

 

So this is just a scrubbed version of Windows 10? My "key" will work with it?

I am asking as when I order my laptop from HID I would need to not have them put an OS on there and do all this myself. Then again I see they have a debloat option, is this the same thing?

 

I don't think they use Ultra Male's ISO since they prefer near stock OS w/o adding trial SW from MS Office,AVs etc...

 

Your key will work but this is a custom made debloated ISO. Ask HIDevolution to installed l this ISO for you they can easily download it from the Redstone 5 thread.

 

I figured as much, they already have the "Clean install on your primary SSD or HDD with Custom Prema BIOS and all drivers updated - No bloatware"

I figured yours was even more scrubbed.

 

Their clean install is just a regular install of Windows 10 minus all the bloatware of the OEM not the same de-bloated ISO which is in the OP!

 

Problems are coming out like a poop every were!

 

I tried installing both thd debloated version. I ran sfc /scannow and both installs had errors. Is this normal?

 

both thd debloated?

what does that mean?

I'm running the de-bloated version for a week with 0 errors. Why wold you run sfc/ scannow anyway? That would replace all modified/de-bloated files to the stock ones, in which, you're better off running the regular version then if you're going to run such commands.
