Want to know the current state of windows?

Literally 1 hour ago:
>Start desktop computer
>Computer running doing nothing at all
>Suddenly crash
>Back to last restore point
>Restores to out of the box status
>1500 $ of software gone
>Keeps crashing for no reason
>Refuses to restart as of now

>>58698057
What? I'm genuinely curious why people are getting these ads and why I'm not.

>>58698057
>they actually want you to rate their built in calculator app
What the fuck

>>58697998
I never saw this. How do you get that?

Maybe you should have turned it off when you installed it?

Just use windows in a VM. It's too unstable. But with VM you get to have real snapshots you can roll back to.

>>58698222
This, snapshots are the only way to use Windows.

yet if apple did it I swear people would be praising them for making osx "the most advanced OS in the world"

>>58698115
Certain brands don't have it, Dell and HP confirmed to have this. ASUS and Acer does not, all pro version does not have this. This is why my recovery disc said Windows 10 ASUS and Windows 10 Dell.

I saw this when I was setting up my new laptop I bought a few days ago. It's sad.

true, it seems you get better battery life. Same with Safari on OSX. Even with that benefit people won't use either Edge or Safari.

>>58697998
I honestly don't know what the fuck did you do to get that. I've never seen that pop up or ads on the start menu. I'm starting to think that some of you are truly retarded. Do you use Cortana and all the web search shit it comes on by default?

You can't set an ethernet connection to metered, you have to mess with the registry and permissions in order avoid forced updates.

>100% disk usage

It happens out of the box. This wasn't and continues to not be an issue with Win7.

>>58700023
How big is your disk, 30 GB?

>>58697959
i cant handle that

>>58699302
Shill please go.
I installed Win10 a long time ago and unchecked all the telemetry bullshit I could, now cortana is forever stuck in my system processes and that fucking Edge ad came up when I was trying to watch movies with my gf

>>58700050
>>58700023

>>58700050

500GB, but disk usage in terms of what Task Manager reports has nothing to do with capacity.

>>58698078
>>1500 $ of software gone
So reinstall it from the disc you bought.

>shill memememme
Why it doesn't surprise me that a retard that drowns on fucking glass of water calls people "shills" when they are exposed as failures.
Seriously, unless you leave everything default (something I haven't done) you never see any adds of instrusive popups. You need to be spoonfed so let me help you, get on a computer, search on github for a host list of the telemetry crap and next time you install Win10 just disable as much options that have to do with telemetry during installation and modify the hosts file adding that data.
If you are really that dense and useless you can still check the spybot program that will pretty much do the exact same thing but with checkboxes and a fucking button you can click. Nothing to mess up.
Also, check your gf phone, she is probably fucking one or more niggers on the side since she probably think she can get away with anything.

Well, they're not wrong. Edge DOES beat out Chrome on Google's JavaScript benchmarks and ESET, in their 2016/17 Windows Exploitation Report, said that Edge is the only browser that doesn't have any open exploits right now.

>Edge is the only browser that doesn't have any open exploits right now.
because nobody is using it, even if in some aspects it's better than firefox or chrome.
Also, it's true that chrome destroys battery life on linux/windows/mac laptops. In fact myabe linux is the less affected but I don't think it would be hard to find another browser that works better.

Anyone using Windows 10 and complaining about it is a fucking actual retard. Windows 7 exists. Windows 8 exists. If you hate W10, maybe you shouldn't use it. Fuck off

>>58700293
this is actually the only decent fact in a thread infested by faggots using macs or retards that can't open a text file.
Fucking pajeets will ruin everything they get their hands on and then probably take a dump to signal they finished.

>>58700050
It doesnt matter, it happens to use every single disk you have hooked up to 100% when it starts. There is NOTHING you can do but wait. It is some sort of forced update, doesnt matter if you disable everything and uninstall everything you dont want to use.

From time to time I have to disable telemetry cause when my PC dips for no reason I check the task manager and there it is the fucking Telemetry sending stuff to microsoft.

>>58700263
I only use EDGE cause it is the only browser that have 4K on netflix. for everything else I use firefox. I know it is not the best, but is the one that doesnt simply closes and lose everything that was open because the flash from a forgoten page crashed.

>>58700081
So task manager will report 100% usage even if the disk is only 10% full? That's retarted.

>>58700364
Task manager disk usage is about read/write, not storage. It only reaches 100% if it is reading/writing on EVERY single storage you have connected to your machine.

>>58700261
I never had these installed on my system ever, even after the anniversary update.

>>58700299
Whether or not people use a browser has nothing to do with whether or not a computer security company analyzing that browser find exploits.

>>58700508
My bad if you are correct. I assumed that this is a Windows/Mac scenario where there are more people working towards finding exploits on the one with the biggest userbase.

Who cares about one lame pajeet-infested company? The internet will be the test and it'll take a year or so for the zero-days to get noticed.

It's too new to call it "the most secure" as of yet.

Windows 10 is the best OS I have ever used. I have not had a single hiccup since I started using it 1.5 years ago (desktop) and half a year ago (laptop) respectively.

I am neither paid for this post nor Indian, but you shits won't believe me.

Free service vs paid OS

>>58704087
Well, in case of Google you pay with your data and attention (for ads).
Everyone understands that, and within certain limits that is "okay".

The thing is: Windows has a regular price tag. You (usually) already pay with money and your contribution to the market share of it.
Doing the same as Google in that situation is disgusting. It's not even remotely comparable.

>using a browser owned by chinks

>>58697959
Why does none of this shit happen to me?

>>58704372
There are several factors that determine whether you get ads or not. Why even ask such a stupid question?
An OS isn't some simple static thing that looks exactly the same for every user, especially when MS can push content over the internet at any time.

>>58703308
It's just like cable TV. Before that, TV was free over the air. Then you had to pay for cable, but there weren't supposed to be ads. Now look where we are today. Death to all these greedy ass corps who think they are entitled to endless profits just because. It's happening but not soon enough for me.

So many reasons to be glad I whacked that fucker and installed Linux.

Every time somebody shows this I ask why Im not having all this fun.

What the hell are people doing with their OS?

Or perhaps the point is - they dont do anything at all and are surprised that their OS takes control because they refuse to?

When did windows users IQ drop this low?

Guys, there's a button that turns those off in the Settings Application (aka Program), just to let you know.

>>58707526

Rather than OP was insulted for not fixing the problem he is encountering. I know of few people that dont care about various build-in things of Win10. THats fine, they dont want to change it, they dont care, nobody is getting hurt.

Now, OP dont like certain things. But instead of fixing the shit like anybody with a brain would do, he complains. While internet have already prepared scripts that fix the shit for you, if you dont want to do it yourself.

>Wait so if you have to fuck with your os just to make it usable why arent you using linux that you only have to set up ONCE for the rest of your life.

If you properly setup Windows, it stays usable as well. If you dont, you might screw it up a little, but not as much as inexperienced person could with Linux distro.

Not to mention litany of reasons why somebody would want to use Windows instead of Linux, with first one being "Im more comfortable with Windows".
