But it was already there, come on.

>>58410610
It's not in Windows 10 currently. Not in the Settings menu at least.

>>58410726

I will have to check at work tomorrow, because Im pretty sure I selected "no drivers updates" at settings of some sort.

>>58410610
I'll never understand why people make such a huge deal out of this. You just literally disable the windows update service and that's it. That's literally fucking it. I've been using this shit ever since it came out on my gaymen pc and it only updates when I tell it to. I swear 90% of this dramatic bullshit about how WINDOWS LITERALLY DESTROYED MY PC BY UPDATING IN THE MIDDLE OF X THING are just fabricated bullshit made by attention whores or at the very least tech illiterate retards, specially when it will only install updates if you go there and explicitly tell it to download AND install updates right away on the settings menu, which is off by default.

Windows 7 Home (even Home Basic) is actually usable for most people, unlike Windows 10 Home.

Do they still have no RSS reader in Edge?

IE8-11 has a kickass RSS reader, and not being able to bookmark feeds properly makes Edge look a huge step back.

Nice, but not available on Pro/Home though because muh Applocker

>>58413068
How do you know it blocks the executable that does the spying, instead of just the Cortana front end?

>>58413283
Applocker only prevents (up to) all users/admin "everyone" from running it iirc. You cannot actually add the group "system" into the user group.

Nice, these actually look like some solid improvements all-around.

Choosing a VPN now gives you a connect option, doesn't open settings. That pissed me off from 10's launch. Who designed that shit?

>How do you know it blocks the executable that does the spying, instead of just the Cortana front end?
Because SearchUI.exe isnt running and the event log if full of errors when windows try to start it.

>>58413283
>instead of just the Cortana front end?
Also regarding this read the app manifest and you can see what it blocks.

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml

>>58409075

So, more botnetty stuff now?

Uh. Cool. Why not just put the whole fucking start menu in there while you're at it? Jesus christ. Just give me the old start menu back. Apps put themselves in there and I liked it that way.

you do realize you dont have to use the tiles? oh thats right, you're retarded.

>>58416349
I do, but the way the start menu is laid out in Windows 10 makes it really impractical compared to tiles or to the Windows 7 start menu.

I was expecting something good of this new release, and the only thing I will remotely use is the flux shit

what the fuck are these guys doing? instead of finally getting rid of legacy windows, and patching the atrocious ink support, we get more clutter on the new applications?

>how about putting a bunch of literally what buttons on Edge
>hey how about we put groups on the tiles nobody uses
>hey how about we spent a million hours on improving chink support

is "gimp steam games" function in this one?

HEY MICROSOFT SHILLS, PLS UPLOAD THIS TO YOUR MASTERS:

HOW ABOUT YOU GENERATE THE TILES/GROUPS FOR EVERY APP (LIKE THE FUCKING START MENU) INSTEAD OF PUTTING STUPID ADS AND SHILL APPS LIKE NEWS?
BOOM, THERE IS YOUR FUCKING TILES USABLE AGAIN

Good luck disabling Xbox DVR, Cortana and Edge. Even 3rd party apps can't do it.

To even access DVR settings you need M$ account and Xbox gamer tag. Seriously go fuck yourself.

>To even access DVR settings you need M$ account and Xbox gamer tag. Seriously go fuck yourself.

i found a way to bypass that crap
trigger the pesky bar to open, and press settings from there... you get to the same menu without having to use a login/gamertag/whatever

disable everything
never see that shit again

>hey why did we put the tiles in the first place?
just to shill our mobile platform, the same as getting rid of the start menu in windows 8.0... just to shove the mobile market and tablets
>hahah that was funny as fuck, remember when people were looking for the start menu button and it was not even there to begin with?
yeah man, good times. people still believe management at Microsoft knows anything about tech or the brand
>well, back to tiles.... why do we have them now?
I already told you: to shill the mobile platform, and put ads
>but our mobile platform is literally dead, Nutella killed it the other day. why do we keep those tiles in place?
