We fixed Windows 10 - Microsoft will HATE this!

[SolarNova]

I might give a custom version of W10, like this one, a go next time i wipe my system.

 

Currently using an old version of W7, pre W10 spyware update, and pre specter/meltdown 'nerf'.

 

Regardless of what W10 version it ends up being it would most certainly HAVE to have some kind of W7 style shell, i cant stand the W10 version.

And ofc , I always enable a 'God Mode' icon on the desktop, its kinda surprising how many people dont know about 'God Mode' on Windows OS's, its very handy.

To be fair, it's not really god mode, that's just what name people gave it. You can change the name to whatever you want

Hey guys long story short don't trust any iso file on the internet there can be hidden malware with it. It's always best to make it yourself. ame seems like a fantastic start to newbies in the tweaking community but it's best to do this yourself with a program such as ntlite. ame is really nice and looks like it removes a lot of (bloatware) and telemetry with windows 10. However if you don't know what you're doing or what to expect, an OS like this will never work. You will end up briking most stuff, lose features most of you want etc. plus on top of this there are additional programs and tweaks you must make to an os like this for it work properly. There are also services you have you disable or enable for certain things for windows to work and disabling services can be very dangerous and will most likely end up in a black screen if you're not careful. Some services are required for games to work, internet and Bluetooth etc so you have to find out what you're not using in order for the bare minimum on your system and this can take a few windows installs so have a spare windows USB or dual boots you will save yourself "some" headache. Am I saying it's impossible not to be able to do this on your first windows install without encountering and problems? no but it's a lot better to be in the know of what you do to your os in case the event something breaks that you need. To be fair most people won't have to mess with services and it barely makes a difference for gamers but definitely helps with memory and should be looked at by people that want to tweak even further. More some you also have to keep your specs into consideration such as your cpu and motherboard mainly. Why? because of bios settings. You can do all the tweaks and more but if you don't have good bios settings these tweaks are pretty much useless guys. I recommend Intel for the best latency on Windows. Personally I have an amd cpu and everything works fine. your gpu is not as important. in bios look at tweaking global c states (this should always be disabled) hyper threading/smt, nx mode and xmp on to get higher speeds. always overclock your cpu in bios also look at maybe tweaking your memory times but this will take too much time and i usually avoid this. Turn off any windows or any boot logo off for faster start times etc. One more thing i have to mention is programs and regedit is an important part to tweaking so be careful of what you download and change.  Also most people are gonna be forced onto 2004 because of the new gpus NVIDIA is releasing and 2004 is a terrible version for windows because of the synthetic timers and a bunch of stuff. The best os version atm for gamers and bare minimum is 1709. If you guys want further information go to f33thy on youtube he covers what most people don't and there is some really good google docs out there i won't be covering atm. So what's the lesson to be taken here? It's quite simple really if you're a gamer/ competitive gamer and want every possible advantage you can take and you don't care about security and are smart on the internet and have the time and dedication to learn this stuff and create your own iso sure go for it. Why is it beneficial? Smoother game play lower latency higher fps better a more responsive mouse for better aim etc. Why would something like this not be worth your time if you're a gamer? Well as said you might care about some features you might not have the time on your hands you might be a really good gamer and feel these tweaks are useless to you. (I feel like these tweaks are very important) You also might want to have a half tweaked os with idk store apps installed or cortana or maybe some other things enabled or disabled. In conclusion I recommend everyone one of you that's  read through this or is interested in this topic or competitive gaming to look further into this community of tweaking and maybe give it a shot to expand your knowledge with windows and how terrbile it really is for hardcore gamers. Cheers.

Don't know if Microsoft still offers it, but their older version of their installation kit lets your modify a windows image. Played around with it back then, took a 4GB Win7 image and brought it down to less than the size of a CD. It does install, but nothing works.

[Maill]

Yeah, no thanks, just disabling telemetry is enough for me.

[NumLock21]

They should rename this to Windows 10 PE

Men just use Revision os is just the best custom os it for low latency and high performance they also have discord with a big community https://www.revi.cc/revios

The only thing other than switching to Linux (other than not being able to play Forza on PC) is the seemingly lacking support for HDR related things such as 10 bit colour. There seems to be some support planned with Wayland or even partially implemented while Xorg doesn't seem to even plan on implementing HDR.

so this just bricks Windows to the point that

• most modern games won't run
• search is completely dead
• updating is insanely complicated
• you lose access to uwp apps
• etc etc

why not use Linux then?

Windows 10......

or dealing with the incredible superiority complex and outright hatred for novice users linux community......

AME Releases

Until further notice, the community-run download and seed server as been ordered to cease operations. You are welcome to continue to download and share the torrent independently, we have no control over that.

The website will remain up and running, and will reflect these changes as soon as possible, with a tougher focus on the “do it yourself” methodology. Going forward, we will be focusing on better documentation, as well as shortening and streamlining the overall amelioration process.

We will continue to somehow link to community ISOs, but until we can find a way to do so, in a more legally sound manner, this download option will be frozen on the website.

Honestly LowSpecGamer did a better job explaining what to customize in Windows 10 to squeeze out more frames in games:

The fact that it removes Windows Activation and uses a "generic key" for the install (as seen in the customization option of it), doesn't that mean it's technically pirated?

All of LMG use pirated copies of windows. They made a vid explaining why

Pretty sure their actual workstations use activated copies and only their test bench doesn't.

The program said "Requires Windows 10 ver 1804 or better."

 

So I installed linux.

Linux is user friendly.

It's just very picky who its friends are 

[Radium_Angel]

Here's the thing (being serious for a moment, unlike my other posts)

 

Windows 10, is broken by design.

It's built, from nearly the ground up, to spy on you, and extract as much about you, your system, and the use of said system, as possible.

 

No amount of tweaking, or tinkering, will fix the core thesis.

Windows 10 is actively hostile to the user. Period. Full Stop.

 

Trying to secure it and make it useable, while at the same time securing your privacy is an impossible task.

Look at the damage done, for one prime example, just by trying to rip out Cortana.

 

All kinds of things break.

 

So you, the user, have a choice.

Use Windows 10, and all that entails

Or switch.

 

The choice is not so simple as it sounds.

But it's the only choice you have.

This is honestly one of LTT's worst videos, as it really demonstrates the limits of Anthony's technical understanding of the underlying system he's trying to explain.

 

The most egregious part is when he states that Explorer is more responsive because it usually has to "update some log in the background that's gotta go off to microsoft". Not only is this false, you basically just called Microsoft's engineers a bunch of morons who don't know how to implement a non-blocking, asynchronous background queue (hint: event logging is a non-blocking operation).

 

As usual, there's no actual explanation of Windows 10's telemetry subsystem and instead Linus just waves his hands around about the "phoning home" boogeyman.

 

You could, I don't know, actually inform your watchers that that just setting your telemetry settings to Basic or Required (v2004), will restrict all reporting to just the reliability & crash metrics explicitly outlined in:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/required-windows-diagnostic-data-events-and-fields-2004

 

You could even tell users to take a look at the Diagnostic Data Viewer to see what's being sent so they can discover for themselves that it's a bunch of uninteresting anonymous metrics and error reports.

 

Linus and Anthony continue the tech youtuber trend of fear mongering that Windows telemetry is some mysterious black box of unknown stuff that's trying to secretly harvest your PI, when in reality Microsoft has outlined everything they collect and why they collect it within the Windows 10 privacy documentation above. Maybe you could break the mold and actually read the Microsoft documentation for once?

This is just copypasta at this point, I've definitely seen it more than once. It's written as if there's no possible reason Microsoft might want to know how your system is operating. Microsoft is made up of thousands of engineers across hundreds of different teams. Each team wants to see diagnostic metrics over the piece of the pie they happen to own. The metrics are aggregated, anonymised and most of the original data deleted after 90 days. Unlike the Linux community, the average windows 10 user does not have the technical skillset or motivation to report to microsoft that an audio driver is throwing some errors somewhere in the kernel.

I like how LTT and a ton of people on the forum always preach Linux as the best alternative to literally every problem. Yes, there's probably a Linux alternative application for that one written only for Windows that you can't let go of, but half of the time the developer writes the installation instructions with the assumption that you're already some command line god. Better yet, you might be directed to download a .deb file. Now what? Double clicking doesn't open up some installer like you're used to. Of you're suppose to navigate to the location of that .deb file in the terminal, and type sudo dpkg -i followed by the package name? Oh wow how did I not think of that? 

 

Linux is one of the least user friendly environments there are. You convince these users to try it since it's the best thing since sliced bread. When they do encounter a problem and they ask for help, and they tell you they don't know what a terminal is, you just go "pfffttttttt", laugh hysterically for the next 30 minutes and just abandon the poor sole. Linux is still only an alternative for real teach enthusiasts and not the average joe or the "techy" who really just wants to play some games. 

 

Rant done.
