    I must say handy little tools, I didn't know about these.

    That said, neither as far as I can see do what it is that I am asking about, which is to stop all "Preview" updates from being offered... I mean sure I can hide them each time they are offered, was just wondering about completely stopping them from being offered, and having it only offer proper updates.

    I think I found the setting I'm looking for, but so far it has not made the preview update go away, apparently the preview update will go away when the current build of the OS is higher than the preview build?

    Guess I'll find out soon *shrugs*

    Current build for me is 19044.1645

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Very useful when installing fresh or on new PC. You can back up your Win 10 credentials and restore them to your new OS. Control panel > Credentials manager. You can also wipe your credentials in case you want to give your old PC, laptop to someone else.

    disable fastboot/startup or what ever they setting is called in power settings along with sleep and hibernation. been doing all that for as long as remember, as i dont use any of those functions or care for them if 15seconds it to long to wait to start up your pc from cold boot, your more impatient then me :rolleyes:

    I scratch my head a bit, maybe someone here can help ...

    I have to put a machine in "kiosk mode" (Win10 Pro), it's a cheap Surface tablet.
    It will be used to display a web page on an internal server. I have to login once, then the server saves a session cookie and logs me out and displays just a web page with text.
    As long as the cookie is there, I don't have to login again.
    But after every reboot of the device kiosk mode deletes the cookie.
    Sometimes this device hangs (some wireless issue) and has to be rebooted.

    Does anyone know a reg key to set or a switch to flip so MS Edge does NOT delete cookies / start every session with "in-private" mode on and the cookie keeps stored?

    Am I imagining it or is the Windows Taskbar different here?

    Windows update did something the other day, and I only just looked here now after restarting and it just doesn't seem like it used to... something is different but i can't figure it out.....

    *edit*

    Is it the colored circles? were they there before?

  16. I've never seen Task Manager like that before, but right-clicking any of the Disk/Memory/CPU panes with the circle -> Show Graphs gets rid of the circles.

    So after posting this I had locked my pc and done other stuff, then when I come back to pc checked again and now it's like I remember it before.... I have literally not done a single thing, not changed any setting anywhere.... what the heck.

    *edit*

    I see the option now for how you change it, I have never changed that option or even knew it existed.

    weird.

    is there any way to make the win 10 animations and transitions like win 11? that s the only thing i need since win11 has tendency to have inconsistencies with games

    How do I see what is causing this to run at boot?

    I've scanned the system with Loaris Trojan Remover and Malwarebytes MBAR and found nothing, I have script host disabled... but something is attempting to run via script host on boot every time, I'm not sure how to figure out what it is and how to stop it.

    *edit*

    Never mind, figured it out.... used Autoruns and deleted these two things and all is good.
