Current state of Windows 10

ITT: Windows 10 ads.

>not having the enterprise version
Enjoy your telemetry homeplebs

Commercial consumer technology is fucking garbage, no exceptions.

...

>then it comes back 2 days later
>that registry entry exists in the first place

>he thinks enterprise doesn't have telemetry
no matter what version of 10 you use, you get fucked by microshit

Is there a way to get rid of these entirely? I know there's a way to stop the ads, but I want as clean an install of W10 when I reformat.

Windows 10 is, unironically, the worst OS I've ever used. I seriously don't understand how Microsoft is fucking up so badly.

>install ltsb
>no shop
>no metro apps; not even the metro image viewer or the metro calculator
>no ads, doesn't even come with tiles by default
>gpedit.msc and disable windows defender (for real not placebo)
It's okay if you're running new hardware that can't into Windows 7. You don't have to worry about drivers and sheei, only issue is using the new start menu, but desu once you get used to it it's kinda comfier than the old one. The start menu rightclick is the real start menu

Seriously can't believe there are ads. Can't believe I spent $100 on this when it had ads. Usually when I pay $2 to disable ads, why am I getting ads shoved down my throat after spending $100+? I didn't even keep it as my daily driver, I moved back to Linux. Can't bring myself to wipe it off my PC though.

You've otherwise only ever used XP? I'm impressed.

Windows 10 is almost serviceable for a poweruser willing to use the registry and group policies. It confused and upset my grandfather though so he's on Ubuntu now.

>he still uses the default windows 10 start menu

Are you actually trying to insinuate that Windows 10 is better than W7, OSX from Snow Leopard through El Capitan, or even some of the Linux distros out there like Mint?

>Ltsb
>Barely updated
kek

that is some 3rd world shit right there.
Glad I opted out of the upgrade, I'm doing *great things* with my Windows 8 pleb-tier knowledge.

>I'm being spied on by the NSA and can't talk freely send help please
It's okay user I can read between the lines.

OP here, came back to Linux, I can't stand adverts. And spyware.

While we are talking about Windows 10, any idea why my windows clock is off by like 6 minutes? I have automatic sync enabled.

Cancer thread. You claim to be computer literate but can't take the 20 seconds to remove those ads.

Fucking WEAK

once videogame nerds find an alternative to winshit
they are finished

...

>preinstalled games are adware

Yeah home edition is shit, but enterprise is not bad

Home editions of windows were always shit but windows 10 home takes it to a new low.

You know what is really ironic? That W10, without having to joke or exaggerate, actually meets the criteria of malware now

>Malware, short for malicious software, is any software used to disrupt computer or mobile operations, gather sensitive information, gain access to private computer systems, or display unwanted advertising

How any one of you can continue to use windows is beyond me.
Excellent alternatives are out there, yet you choose to ignore them.
Lets finally decide to start considering our other options.
Put aside your irrational aversions to different operating systems for once.

Much of this bullshit that is happening on windows is avoidable.
Exactly what is forcing you to continue using it?

I just don't understand.

How many times are we going to have these posts here?
Aren't we going to move on at some point?
Very many of you deliberately choose to be ignorant.
Enigma surrounds the underlying code of W10, why would you trust it?

Well, I've had enough of this.

I'm still using Windows 7 because I have expensive professional software that only work on Windows or Mac. Until they support Linux I can't use it exclusively.

>In app purchases
>Candy crush soda saga

Fuck off to facebook

Linux cant run games

Windows can

simple

...

turn off suggestions
wow it was that easy

also what kind of retard uses live tiles anyway?

I ditched windows back in 2011

...

>Turn off suggestions
I turned them off from the 1st second.
The problem is, it installed PUPs. It didn't suggest me, they just showed it to me.

>mad about free learning

Yeah, its still shit. I downgraded to windows 7 today

I hope that whatever comes after 10 is better because I have no idea what to do post 7.

Whatever comes next better be intended for desktops rather than some fucking touchpads. And aimed towards capable users instead of tech illiterate morons. There's already Mac for that.

I never understood why didnt they split the platform between PC's and touchpads. It's one or the other, otherwise it's inconsistent P.O.S.

I think you meant upgrade
Microshit said Windows 10 is the last version of Windows
1) probably free as in """""""""""""""free """""""""""""""
2) still an ad

lol

>Microshit said Windows 10 is the last version of Windows
Many companies, windows included, have said this in the past about many things.
But will it forever be stable and adaptable in it's current form with the needs of the next generations?
I doubt win 10 will be the last, it may have a longer life than other OS, or it may continue to be named 10, but the changes to the kernel and OS environment will probably change a lot beyond what 10 is right now.
That it will be an improvement or not is to be seen.
But right now, I say fuck win and adobe with their new subscription models and fuck apple current hardware path.

I understand, I made a mistake, it technically won't be the "last", I guess they meant to say that it will be a rolling release of Windows. And about win, Adobe and Apple, you're right, they're all shit.
Installed =/= suggestion

>mfw we're slowly heading towards everything just being in the cloud and local computing becoming obsolete
>compiling and sharing software will require license fees and open source software becomes practically impossible to distribute

Throughout the computing history, we're going backwards. We stored shit on mainframes trough a terminal, then came personal storage, now it's "the cloud".

By definition Candy Crush and Minecraft are games. Not sure what your point is other than "lul those sux" which everyone already knows.

It's not about which is better, user
It's about what YOU like :^)
Be free from the days of oppression by your unloving family, forced to live like an animal under the dinner table eating the scraps of freetards that you think are actually usable pieces of software

SHITTY PREBUILT COMPUTERS HAVE SHITTY SOFTWARE INSTALLED. I AM OUTRAGED. ITS OK WHEN LINUX DISTROS DO IT THOUGH.

>open source software becomes practically impossible to distribute
everything moving to the cloud would work to the benefit of open source you dumb fuck
then again you only write these fucking retarded comments so you can screencap them and then shitpost them everywhere so people think you're some oracle
bitch please

...

It's literally a fresh install
>Implying free to download, pay to play and win are good games I should be praising Microsoft for installing me these
No, they're dogshit, they're also pre-installed which is malware, because it falls under a PUP

Never had them.

You were potentially unwanted yourself, so who are you to complain?

this isn't really an issue though. just debloat it. takes like 5 minutes.

for the normies: github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10

Some user once said that if you're using Win10 then you deserve to be fucked.

He was right.

Noone says you should praise microshit you fucking nigger. Noone implied that they're good games. Stop being a fucking child and uninstall them like everyone else does if it bothers you. It's a complete non issue. MS paint is "potentially unwanted" but you don't whine about that. Vista came with chess but you don't whine about that.

Freetards orbit Windows user on a daily basis. Simply sour grapes obsessed with our OS hating on the surface but ass mad on the inside that they can't experience "true freedom" by being able to run any software and games they want easily.

I can smell your jealousy by the 10 consecutive Windows hate threads you make every hour.

Fucking nigger.

Yes, "debloating" it will sure make it 100% usable

Until, you know, the next mandatory update fucks everything up completely again

so yours doesn't get reset like every other week? I've had enough candy sagas reinstalled by now

That's the thing I never understood about windows users. The ridiculous amounts of time and effort they sink into making it barely usable.
Installing gentoo takes less time at this point.

I installed win10 6 months ago, debloated and turned off spying in like 10 minutes. WOW SO HARD BRO.

I don't have ads or any of this shit installed and never did

t. Windows 10 Education version

VM?!

>turned off spying
WINDOWS USERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS!

Oy vey the jews are out to get me they can see me watching tranny porn and shitposting on Sup Forums!! what am I going to doooooooo

you can start by killing yourself
thank you

Nice argument. Watch out for the fbi boogiemen, they will come to your house while you sleep and put cameras in your room.

>shitposting Sup Forumseneral
>expecting arguments
does your mother know what you're doing on the internet?

>not using LTSB version
Also, Microsoft should fuck off with forcing their shit. Why are they ruining themselves?

>sour grapes
>implying it's hard to go to the pirate bay and download Windows 10
>implying it's hard to activate Windows completely free of charge
>implying Windows 10 even costs that much to begin with

Enjoy your apps I guess.

There is one main reason Windows 10 sucks worse than any other operating system. The OS-tan is from the future. She has chrome hair. She has evil blue eyes. I am sorry, but she looks horrible and wants me to join the fight against the meatspace.

I always believe we should base our OS choice on the hotness of the OS-tan. It is the only reasonable way to definitively, once and for all, find out what the best operating system is.

At least it's 1st party. Candy crush and the other BS was from other developers (Except minecraft, it's by MS, but still, I DON'T NEED IT), better of all, they include in app purchases, they're PUPs (malware) and they want you to buy shit. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!!
Yes.
Really? 10 minutes is like getting to 5 registry keys to disable shit you don't want. Then redo this process that is unnecessary in any other OS every fucking update.
>Opening the store
>Ever
kek, and if it's uninstalled, why can't the pajeets add a damn flag that it has been uninstalled. No store in any OS ever does this, they can't even make a proper store app.
This. When I used Windows 10 for a few days on my other machine the privacy settings and pre-installed apps would reset.
They're forcing it for probably money, they won't stop doing it since a pajeet is in control of them.
>can't run apps
My use is my use, it runs perfectly under any OS. Probs the only thing missing is the botnet pre-installed with Windows 10. IMO, a good thing.

Ok you guys wins, How should I go to downgrade to Windows 7? Windows 10 exclusive games are dogshit and I already had my fill of Forza Horizon 3.

2017 — A year in which advertisements for Windows 10 are paid for by advertisements in Windows 10

cali - y u do this

Ever since I got an N edition of Win7, I always regretted it, because I always had to reinstall WMP anyway to get shit to work, so what was even the point?

Nowadays, since I upgraded to an N edition of 10, and seeing the shit the regular editions deal with? Getting the codecs ain't so bad.

Look into gpu passthrough to a vm.

what do you expect from a "free" OS made by Microshaft?

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 will be the last major release of Windows and from now on Windows (rebranded as just Windows) will be a subscription based SaaS software.

>tfw still on 1511
>afraid to update
Been contemplating buying windows 7.

>Why are they ruining themselves?
Consumers and enterprises are firmly stuck with Microsoft Windows. Everything they use on a daily basis is either software made by Microsoft or software that ONLY works on Windows. Microsoft can literally fuck them however they want to because they know consumers and enterprises are completely trapped in the Windows ecosystem. It's like the bullshit Apple is pulling with no headphone jacks and forcing USB-C only ports on everyone despite the market lacking USB-C peripherals. They KNOW people are heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and switching would be much more painful than adapting to whatever hardware choices Apple makes.

This double standard that windows users push baffles me. They claim to not want to use Linux because some things require extra setup and they might have to run something under wine (god forbid) but when they have to spend extra time to stop windows from acting like malware every update that's perfectly acceptable. Then there are the people who use windows 7 still or use a server or enterprise version and say well I don't have this problem while ignoring the fact that for versions like 7 they had to configure it to not install the forced update and for special versions they had to pirate them then configured them for home use.
Overall Linux ia actually easier to use and a better experience with modern computers but people are just stuck in their ways and decide the obvious solution is to make 80000 threads a day calling Linux users names to try and justify their bullshit.
>inb4 windows users ignore my arguments because they can't be bothered to read my whole post
>inb4 windows users ignore my arguments because I posted an anime picture on an anime website

They literally are

They're installed through Windows updates because microsoft would rather abuse the fact that they can use your computers security update functionality to install programs you don't want onto your computer, maliciously, then advertise them to you

Windows 10 has been free ever since release. Everyone was given a chance to upgrade for free, even from a bootlegged version.
Windows 10 is still being offered as legitimate free upgrade from MS.

Of course they are gonna put ads in it. That's how free things works.

No thats not ok and I do not authorize microsoft to install adware through my windows update functionality

I don't care if its free, they don't get to do it on my computer. My computer is a tool, not a fucking advertisement revenue center

fuck you and fuck your shilling and defense of ads

He's not defending ads, he's explaining how giant corporations give away something for "free" you fucking mong

I don't fucking care if its free, they don't get to advertise on my computer

nigger

They do, actually lmao.

Switch to a different OS if you don't like it, retard

>they do
No they don't, I don't agree to their jewy terms so I'm not using their shit so they can't advertise to me

So you took my advice and used a different OS, good for you user

Even Windows Server 2016 Datacenter has telemetry, and restarts to install updates whenever it wants unless you have a dedicated WSUS server. And that goes for $6k+ PER CORE. There is no escape.

>I do not authorize microsoft to install adware through my windows update functionality
Did you read the EULA? Because I'm fairly sure you authorized everything.

NOT
MY
PRESIDENT!

I didn't agree to it because I didn't want it

and yet millions of people were forced to install it anyway regardless if they agreed or even read the EULA

Interesting how you are unable to refute my arguments so you just call me names.
