Hello, today is my first day using windows 10 on my laptop, i will be using it for college (matlab, notpad++), its an underpowered hp stream 13 (N3050, 32GB SSD, 2GB ram). I read some of the tips&tricks but i am still pretty new. What would be the first 5 or 10 things you would do right away to free SSD space, Ram, cpu usage and get more battery time ? ps: buying a decent ultrabook does not count as an answer :grin:
Dunno if its already been posted, but I found it quite handy :nerd: "Easy" Fix for missing timer by Quiet Hours Pro and Enterprise Users: Change Quiet Hours with the Local Group Policy Editor http://www.howtogeek.com/279192/how-to-change-the-default-quiet-hours-in-windows-10/ Its set in minutes, so for start I chose 22:00 or 10PM (22 x 60 = 1320), end 10:00, 10AM (10 x 60 = 600)

Windows just updated my Nvidia drivers to 376.53 from 372.70. 1st time it's happened and I'm not happy. Any way to prevent it happening again?
Go back to 376.53, and before WU installs the older ones again, run this and hide them http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab Weird I'm not seeing any GPU driver updates on WU
