I can tell that you never used Windows 8.1 before

>>56305325
Windows 7

>>56305572
I have used every single version of windows since 98se.
Tell me why you think you need a start menu replacement on 8.1 and I will tell you how retarded you are.

>>56305325
>Enterprise 2015 LTSB
>Enterprise 2016 LTSB

>>56305589
Because Windows 8.1 doesn't have a start menu, you dumb fuck

You actually like the Start Screen?

One word: Forced installation of apps.

>>56305601
>>56305612
First, the start screen is faster than any start menu replacement.
Second, In the ~2 years of windows 8.1 usage I never had the need to use the start menu on my everyday workflow because Im not a retard.
Power user menu, new shortcuts and pinned icons on taskbar the same way you pinned them on 7 is all you ever need.

Start screen =/= start menu

Metro is a piece of useless shit on a desktop unless you're using a tablet or any touch screen. Otherwise enjoy your endless pop ups and hot corners when you're trying to do productive work.

>>56305628
>one command

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

>>56305658
That's on """Pro""" systems. OP should use Enterprise LTSB.

>>56305675
That won't prevent the installation of "recommended" third-party apps from Microsoft.

Did you had a brain fart where did you purposely ignored the "I never had the need to use the start menu" or something?
Also, two of the four hot corners can be disabled at any time, and even then hot corner gesture need 2 movements to activate, you would need to be a very clumsy user to achieve that accidentally.

>>56305325
7

>>56305710
It also removes the Store. It would have no way to install it, unless of course, it has a fallback.

>>56305699
Until the next update shoves ads in the enterprise version too.

>>56305734
If you enable the "metered connection" option, it won't download updates.

Why would you want to update Windows 10 anyway?

OP here, since both dubs recommended Enterprise LTSB to me twice, I've decided to give it a shot. Found a torrent for it.

>>56305719
>Did you had a brain fart where did you purposely ignored the "I never had the need to use the start menu" or something?
Again Windows 8.1 never had a start menu. You mean you never had to use Classic Shell in order to get the start menu back?

>Also, two of the four hot corners can be disabled at any time, and even then hot corner gesture need 2 movements to activate, you would need to be a very clumsy user to achieve that accidentally.
You can block them all and still retain your beloved metro with Classic Shell. And no there's hotkeys that will activate a start menu screen.

>>56305325
The only one worth considering is the one that requires a subscription to use: enterprise.

I like it, too.

Setting it up properly is just a bit more work, since normal shortcuts are pretty ugly. But with OblyTile (Win 8/8.1) or TileCreator (Win 10) you can make new shortcuts with any image you like. But other than that, I prefer it a whole lot over a classic (or the new) start menu.

Windows 7

>>56305730
>>56305833
This. Currently running Win 7 Home Basic. Extremely light weight OS (compared to newer versions) with no BS aero transparency shit bogging it down. It has everything I could ever ask for.

>>56305807
>Muh retarded logic
Different name, same usage, call them "app launcher" if you want.
>You can block them all and still retain your beloved metro with Classic Shell. And no there's hotkeys that will activate a start menu screen.
That sound really helpul if you're the clumsiest of the users out there, good for you

wow i did not expect so much butthurt over Classic Shell.

>read people saying 8.1 is lighter than 7
>everything takes longer to start
>even thumbnails in explorer take at least twice the time to load

>>56306228
The only reason it would be lighter is because it doesn't have aero

>>56306242
What about Cortana constantly running in the background, even after you fucking disable it?

>>56306279
8.1 doesn't have cortana

>>56306289
Regardless. Win 8.X is more resource heavy compared to Win 7. I used both on my low end laptop with core - i3 processor and I had to downgrade back to 7 because of fan noise. It runs a lot cooler now.

>>56306279
Disabled Cortana only uses around 0.4 mb on my machine

>>56306339

No it's not.

Aero uses a fuckton of resources. I had a shitty AMD cpu and could play 1080p on 8.1 with no problems. on 7 it lagged.

>>56306346
What about all the memory leak issues where you are constantly forced to turn off services like superfetch and windows search to bring down the disk usage from always running at 100%? I fucking hated every living moment of using Windows 8 through 10.

>>56306370
I'm running Win 7 home basic. It doesn't have aero bs.

>>56306339

Thank you for saying it.


What benefit has Microsoft given to users past Windows 7. What is one thing that 8.x or 10 do better? I have yet to see anyone demonstrate this. What the hell happened to this board?

>>56306390
I had to turn off superfetch in 7 too, netsvc was using 100% because Windows Update also.

>>56306370
>Aero uses a fuckton of resource
no

>>56305430
Mac spies on you just as much.

>>56306410
You can disable Aero easily in Professional too. You just switch to basic theme or classic.

OP here on Windows 10 Enterprise (on Edge for now) and I must say, it's pretty comfy without all the metro shit. Installing Classic Shell and some other needs.

>>56306410
>aero bs.
Aero actually helps prevent a number of graphical glitches and improves the experience, though.

>>56305542
You can stop. Right now.

Enterpise N LTSB

>>56305373
>>>/v/ fuck off

>>56307366
The reason for this is Aero uses a different method to render the desktop, which is why the desktop my flicker when changing themes

>>56307439
>my
may*

>>56305325
None of them. Windows 10 is ass.
