Windock - Windock snaps windows to predefined areas when moving them. This turns moving and resizing windows into a simple drag-and-drop movement.

I have a laptop and the manufacturer won't release windows 7 drivers.

Remote desktop manager is an excellent program. Wish Linux had decent RDP like this

Why would you download something from a dodgy site when you can simply use Spybot Anti-beacon
>>54057457
You saw it too on that last thread where an anon was talking about creating some folders with non-allowed names right?
>>54057477
Fuck off with your payware shit

>>54057447
Use xrdp, not as helpful as RDCman
>>54057138
Easter egg: when you search for porn, Windows 10 automatically adds "cuckold" to your search.
It saves lots of users time and it's all based on telemetry (it's supposed to be bad, lmao) customizing the experience for us.
Memes aside, is win10 any good. All I do on my comp is watch YouTube and play games
Visual Studio Community is free
>>54057652
It is what it is. It works good, easy to use, and has game support
>>54057652
it's the best OS on the market
I was dualbooting xubuntu and win10, then i ran spybot beacon and now I can't access the mounted windows partition from the desktop link
no idea what I'm doing or how to fix it
Dunno why but I am tempted to install Windows 10.
>>54057192
first reply, best reply
>>54057589
Nice shitpost! You successfully added nothing to the conversation whatsoever. 5 star post, my friendo.
I deal with a shit ton of computers on a daily basis.
Windows 10, is by far, the most stable OS they've made.
I love 7, but it's a swiss cheese of security exploits.
>>54057232
Tip 2: POO IN LOO
>>54058568
I didn't realize Ubuntu was on Windows now.. it was a tip and a trick
>>54057138
Like a lot of other English speaking Canadians, I have had a lot of trouble getting Cortana to work. She still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at the part where I tell her my location. I click Allow, and then nothing happens. How do I fix this?
>>54057652
It just werks, but at a big price, your privacy.
>>54058615

tip one: buy a macintosh.
>>54058579
Too much black screens after booting up
How does win10 compare to win7 in terms of music production? Is it better? Worse? I am took lazy to look it up.
FUCK OFF SHILL
>>54057138
Tip 1: Wipe your Hard drive
Tip 2: Either Install GNU/Linux or Mac OS
Tip 3: Learn how to use a proper OS before posting on a tech board
>>54057652
Honestly, Windows 8.1 is better.
10 is really crash prone. And gives you no real power of your computer settings. Perfect OS for dumb normal cucks though
My windows 10 is now broken, lasted less than a month. WiFi stops working each time the laptop sleeps/suspends
Will format hard disk and go back to VMing windows 8.1 again
>>54057652
it' still super buggy. ymmv
>>54057138
>tips
prepare you anus for lots of wasted time "tweaking" it back to the levels of 7/8.1

share you knowledge my goodman
If you are a winbaby from 95 era, Windows 10 is same shit. Windows, task bar, start menu, etc.
>>54057652
I dunno, I disliked it at first and I'm kinda being forced to use it since my laptop with Arch is doing its slow dreadful march towards the recycle center.
But I'm finding cool things here and there. Virtual desktops are a thing now, and bash is coming really really soon. By the time bash on Windows is stable, I may not have any legit reasons to not use Windows as my main OS.
It's pretty crash prone though, and the stupid telemetry is always on the back of my head. But I'll be damned if it isn't nice.

inb4 security patch activates after sleeping for a year and all windows 10 bots, I mean pcs, get restored to their full functionality
>>54057192
I bet everyone wanted to say this. Even I opened the thread just to say this. First tip, best one.
>>54057589

>>54057589
the only thing that is missing is an apple-logo instead of the cmd-symbol

Using bash on windows is stupid, just learn powershell .
>>54057192
I came here to post this.
>>54057192
>>54057138
Yep, that's what you should do, OP, I advise Gentoo.
>>54065381
I advise W10
>>54065248
>>54061520
I dont understand
>>54057138
Install Windows 7
>>54065977
I advise killing yourself, mate. ;)
>all these GNU shills trying to slander Microsoft's good name

Same botnet, different version.
It takes several seconds for the menu to appear when I do right click->Open With
Why is that?
>>54057138
Ok, this time i won't tell you to uninstall it, let's get fucking practical.

Microsoft is part of NSA's mass surveillance program "PRISM":

Everything started with Windows 8, not 7. 7 is the last version that does not call home if you disable auto updates.
>>54066433
>>54066469
Here's a good tip: Why not just get W8.1 and have all this shit by default?
>>54067664
How do I re-install windows 8 then? While still keeping all my files?
Installing Windows 10 was one of the worst decisions I've ever made.
>>54057138
Seriously, I am not even kidding
Install win 7
I used 10 for a year and switched back to 7 now, and its so so much better
I would like to have more control over the colors, borders, etc. used in the interface.
Are there any tools for that or is it build in?
<- this thing here is what I am looking for.
>>54069568
>>54066083
neither do they
>>54069568
For the interface in general (but sadly, not for the color), you should try UltimateWindowsTweaker.
Google it, they have a website.
