installing updates while you aren't using it, then stopping when you use it to allow for faster operation

Could be windows defender, it always goes up to 99% cpu whenever I let it idle (and stays like it even when I move the mouse)

You can disable it in defender settings, turn off realtime protection, but the botnet automatically reenables it so watch for that

somethings not adding up

Indexing. It's done this since Vista.

>>58046135

disabled that shit too

>>58046123

shit really that's really worrysome

Just open up the built-in windows performance monitor and leave it recording when you go away.
It's all there.

I had one obnoxious updater process use tons of drive bandwidth and one full core of CPU when let idle.
Turned out it was 100% read in WinSxS folder as it was slowly analysing the entirety of the poor thing to determine what windows components are already installed.

Killed the bastard - kept on returning, so I disabled his autostart service. That killed him for good and am bothered no more.
I update once every several weeks so I'll have it bother me some other time, but for now no suspicious things going on when I'm away.

>>58046176
im not kidding. I was wondering why the VS2015 syntax highlighting was always 5 seconds behind. Googled a bit, added the exclude and it works fine now. Disabled my ass.
Im feeling like everything is slower on my computer than pre defender, is there really no way to get completly rid of this thing?

that could really help me out, so how do I use the monitor, how do I let it record and read the log?

thanks for the tipp btw

1. run > perfmon > Open Resource Monitor (it's a link on the first page of perfmon you are presented with)
2. leave it on, it records on its own when open (maybe make sure hdd tab is opened although I think it records it regardless)
3. come back later, analyse hdd tab, look what processes were active (who to blame) and what folders/files they read from/wrote to (what were they doing)
4. ?????
5. PROFIT

Hopefully you got at lease the blatantly obvious ones - Sense, WdNisSvc and the big bad scary monster WinDefend.

Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the senator.

>>58046644
so whats wrong with windows defender? im not trolling im genuinely curious

>>58046688
Its not needed, therefore I don't want it running.

it's calculating file hashes for the files on your HDD, then comparing them for known illegal files. if it finds any, it'll automatically report you to the authorities.

>>58046644

Installing a different operating system.

so can someoen give the full run down on how to get private on windows 10?

>>58046752

yeah obviously aside from that

>>58046779
I couldn't tell you, I haven't done any testing outside of my own personal tinkering within a VM.

>>58046769
just install your machine in the bathtub or fireplace and you wont be able to be spied on

>>58046779
>>58046769
either accept that you won't have any privacy on windows 10 or switch to an operating system that respects your privacy

>>58046012
if it's mscorsvw.exe then it's recompiling some .NET library shit in the background after an update was installed

you can force it to do it and then stop bothering you
go to \wincucks\microsoft.net\framework[or framework64]\4.0.30319 and run
ngen executeQueuedItems

>so sick of this cryptic bullshit

How the fuck is it cryptic? It literally says in the terms and conditions (see picture related) "we collect the content of your files"

How would they do that if they did not search through your harddisk? You agreed to these terms so why are you complaining? They haven't been 'cryptic' and they have not kept this a secret.

>>58046727
>since we're at it, what's the most throughout de-botnet site/program/script to look up, it always seems not enough
After an update I always run the full routine of:
1. Manual opt-out / disable of bloat (this includes group policies and renaming some system files)
2. https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10
3. https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/
4. Add custom firewall rules
5. Finally restart the pc a few times and make sure nothing new pops up that I don't want (like most recently some weird file sync service)
After that it's 99% done, but M$ always comes up with something new so still gotta keep an eye out for suspicious shit, so you can find it and manually nuke it.
Nothing suspicious pops up 3 days after an update? Congratulations, operation successful.

It's looking for CP on your computer

>>58046679
I take it he was agreeable?

>>58046012
It is some indexing or optimization, i looked it up once a long time ago, i remember you can disable it in the 'Task Scheduler'. There you can see it'l start doing some task if the user has been idle for a while.

>>58046769
Its simple:
>Delet system32

Indexing, updates, checking for updates, defragmenting.

Pick one or several.

>>58047383
And people complain about Linux requiring too much maintenance.

>>58046012
Assuming I want to escape this botnet and restart-rollercoaster, is it possible to overwrite a Win10 installation with Windows 7, or will my shit end up formatting?

>>58047383
>Home Edition and different languages are not supported.

>>58051537
Yes if you don't have a new generation cpu

if i have a illegitimate copy of windows 10, what would be the best way of migrating to linux while saving my 960GB of stuff i have..

Indexing

Virus Scans

Defragmenting

Updates

I'm not sure of what to think about /g/'s paranoia.
I mean, sure, they might be actually spying on you, but where's the fucking proofs?

Serisouly, 100's of millions of windows users and not even a single person did proper packet analysis/debugging to prove it?

I still don't trust it.

>>58056222
Have you personally audited every single line of code from whatever GNU/Linux version you use?

>>58046012
DUDE that EXACT same shit happened to me on win 7. It sounds like the click of death.
I tracked to down to svchost.exe, but I dont know what was calling svchost.

I switched to linux and it hasnt made that noise since.
