that's exactly how they want you to think. Congrats you and anyone else taking this step, you've been now converted into new sheeple. Jokes aside, I'll sooner migrate into linux permanently than make myself a microsoft or facebook account. I'd like to say it'd be an improvement, but as I also...

Well, I can't control the drives they use in pre-built machines, but as the techie, I have to know the reason they are doing what they're doing and have an explanation when asked. (that's what I'm paid for)

...And Hardware-SMR HDDs, who stay on 100% usage for minutes at boot while eating your CPU, Memory and Battery as well. Sure booting apps without it would take extra time, but believe me, its better than waiting for ~5mins at boot on an old machine with a 5400RPM SMR disk.

Fair. I find it funny because I usually disable Remote desktop, TPM, and Superfetch, even though they are on the 'recommended' to keep list and never had any problems with it.

Well, aside from the usual DCH / App basics it needs, it also needs "Shared Experiences" to my knowledge, but it might alo need other stuff I didn't try to remove. I thought I'd put it out there, for whoever need this info.

In Components > Windows Apps, unmark PPIProjection. Connect will be gone. Careful if you use Miracast, removing that breaks its Support for some TVs (samsung especially)

Or Backup and Restore (Legacy) is not working for your image (in this case you only need SMB1 Client though). "Workstation" service is a fallback service for something in there, not sure what or why.

We've honestly crossed the threshold point of diminishing returns to keep a machine on them. Its too difficult, and with a properly customized and tweaked image you can get comparable performance from Win 10.

Yes I am. This post works, but most of the credit goes to Abbodi, I just modified his script to work with NTLite's temp folder. Just make sure you change usernames and folders according to your personal machine layout.

I love when the answer to a question is basically "I don't have this problem because I don't use this function of windows"! *** Warning, a bit of a Rant *** It basically validate my 'less is more' theory of OS quality: If they (and that includes linuxes!) made a barebones OS, and instead of a...

Runtimes are shortcuts, yes, at the cost of resources. The main problem on that front, is that programmers can't agree on a single programming language as a standard, they have a million different ones and come up with brand variants (how many Visual C libs do we need to run things again?!)...

That happens (It sure happened to me in the past.) As for UWP, its no worse than MSI or .NET, the Store is the real poison. If it was just a new format / runtime you could download and install and get your apps from wherever you wanted, then it would not be bad. The problem, as I see, its...

E eu acho que você esqueceu de escrever em inglês? Quase ninguém aqui fala português (Que eu saiba). And I think you kind of forgot to write in English. Almost no one here speaks Portuguese (To my knowledge). ;D Translation of his post for everyone else: "I think we'll have to live with UWP...

LanmanWorkstation service to be precise, which detects and mounts SMB shares. Server doesn't need to be on. I do know its a fallback and only needed if something else (which was introduced after windows 7) is removed, I just don't know who/what the other one is. I know because if its relying on...

I'll post my preset here, for comparison purposes. Its conservative, all things considered. But backup and restore works there, also WiDi, SMB, Search and all the basics. I've found that sometimes, comparing presets helps see what you removed that you shouldn't have or something you could have...

If its a backup feature you want, why not use GImageX and the inbuilt Recovery Image of windows? I use that here, it works well enough for what it is. Oh, and I've found that Sometimes Backup and Restore fails if "Workstation" service is not on the default setting (I forgot if default is...

For the moment I just want a working OS where I can work and play. But yeah, aside of the current builds, all I know is that my next systems are going to be AMD, for better Linux compatibility and to avoid feeding Intel-Micro$hit alliance for an store-app-telemetry-filled future.

Yeah, my need for mobility, by enjoyment of gaming and also my stubborness make things more painful than they should have been., But If it was still getting security updates and drivers for the newer machines, EVERYONE and their mothers would be using 7. It is the last good windows (not...

More time and energy than I should have, honestly. At this point more out of sheer spite towards Microsoft (**** you! Who do you think you are to tell me what I need or don't or what I should be using or not?!) than because I really really need it. Its useful, but can I live without it. But I...

ok, this is getting a little ridiculous but I managed to project the screen from the cellphone to the TV, the cellphone to the PC, yet projecting from the same PC to the TV disconnects straight after connection. I think Microsoft just killed Miracast
