My Windows 10 progress

So far i spent whole night trying to break things to work like system should, and disabling crawlers and uninstalling cortana and the apps...

Remove all stupid apps that "can't" be removed/uninstalled.

Done

Getting normal control panel & black menu bars...


Done

Blocking services that send data out or take data in [except windows update]


Done

Getting multi-boot to work

Done

Stopping/disabling/editing/removing tasks scheduled that send out info to microsoft and their gang
(this is just one of many entries, they have more in other folders - hidden, no permissions all f*cked by me, went with system creds to beat the shit out of them)

Enabled old sound bar

Disabled lock screen
Enabled verbose logon messages (hate the d*ck s*cking stuff like "we are doing some stuff now" WTF?!)

Disabled "Look for an app in the store options"

Forced in registry to check for updates but let me choose whether to download...

Disabled UAC -- because f*ck you ms.

I think its a nice system now... done testing for tonight going to sleep in few hours time 4 work... Got pissed a lot on this system, but it can be done right... not sure for how long but so far it looks okay.

going to leave it for day with wireshark... most likely will block whole ms. Then rage some more.

Can you make guides for some "stupid" staff on windows 10 how to fix them when you have the time?. Like those things you did.

Ditto. Especially disabling the "look for an app in the store" options.

Until the next time they update your system and hijack all your settings.

it shouldn't be able to change any settings; its forced now anyway.

@ToCKMan
I'll write something later, maybe on weekend.

I will actually be keeping the default metro apps around for the time being. Give them a fair run (though I have removed a few).

Did anyone have any luck with replacing the stupid 4 square windows boot logo with the awesome RTW one in Windows 10 ...? The hack job previously used with windows8 did not work.

Stardock for five bucks.
