What are your changes you must do after re-installing windows? Registry tricks? Turning off certain services?

I usually disable automatic updates as well, though that's not really an option with Windows 10.

I do: Start > Settings, and I configure Windows the way I like it. Including turning off suggest apps from the Start Menu, and make it show only live tiles (full app list still accessible via a button.. so kinda like older Windows Start Menus, but more compact)

 

Then I open Folder Option panel (Start > type: Folder Options), then go under "General", and set "Open File Explorer to:" to "This PC". Then I uncheck the check boxes: "Show recently used files in Quick Access", and "Show frequently used folders in Quick access" Then I go under the "View" tab, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", and "Show sync provider notifications"

 

Finally, I add folders I use often in the Quick Access section in the left column in File Explorer (just drag and drop them)

 

And that is about it. I do more on my Surface. But that is specific to the system.

Well first off I fix my screens so they are in the right order, then I download chrome. From chrome I install GPU drivers, steam, Spotify and discord. That's about it. 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Remove all the crap M$ shovels down your throat like candy crush along with pre-installed junk apps that you don't need (most of which will have to be force removed via powershell)
