Da fuck, bros? What should I know about this operating system? I literally know nothing about it and was just fine using Windows 10.
What do I need to do to have my privacy safe? Like hell I want Microsoft to know what I post on /pol/ lol.
Anyone else experience this on here?
>>75626052
>I literally know nothing about it and was just fine using Windows 10.
Oops, I meant I was fine using Windows 7. That's what I had before.
>>75626052
What's the problem with Windows 10?
>>75626052
Been happening for a while now, a known issue if you'd been paying attention.
You should have removed all the hidden Windows 10 activation updates when you had the chance.
>>75626085
Is my privacy secure? I heard a bunch of privacy concerns about Windows 10 in the past.
>>75626052
sue windows in small claims court, if you had not agreed to it, its illegal...if they do that to me after all the circumventing ive done, im sueing them too...youre gauranteed to make money if you find one of those lawyers who go after big guys for small reasons.
>>75626085
Apparently everything you type is sent to Microsoft servers.
This is why you turn off all that shit and only do manual updates. You also throughly research each update before installing it
Windows 10 can now remotely delete any files that are not bought from authorized stores
>>75626283
all my VNs are in danger
Windows 10 was downloaded onto my computer when I was sleeping and running a virus scan in hibernation mode.
I woke up and was furious, then went online and saw everyone was complaining about the same thing. I was perfectly content with the Windows I had, I don't see how they got away with that shit, especially when I turned down the offer and pop up for months and went to great lengths of removing the hidden pop up windows.
>>75626052
You can easily revert back for the first month after updating.
>>75626052
You did the schedule install ya dingus. I turned that off and now it always asked if I'd like to schedule an install.

>Is my privacy secure?

>>75626085
It was buggy as fuck when it first came out and you have to do some serious tweaking to get rid of some bullshit but it's actually pretty decent now.
Most of the board will pretend the government is watching them shitpost on /pol/ and fap to little girl cartoons and loonix will somehow protect them from that.

I won't because they're mostly the same and both need tweaks and trash removal. The only reason would be if you are running new hardware, and that's only because MS is forcing people to move to 10 for it.

Microsoft reissues these updates, so when they pop back up re-hide them so they go away. Never set your update to automatic install, ever. Only download and review.

Win 10 is spyware. You should remove it from your PC. Switch back to Windows 7, turn off all automatic updates and you'll be fine. Or use Linux. Win 10 runs smoothly and looks good, but if security is important to you, ditch it.

The EULA openly states that they will record everything on your computer. All of your media, such as pictures, videos, and sound files will be available for microsoft to check, and there is a specific section dedicated to them keeping track of your emails and other communications on their own databases.
No, this is not a joke.

>>75627945
I did
I just hit downgrade in updates and went back to 7
it deactivated my os so i had to redo the daz loader
I never update anything if I have the choice unless it improves something I like
its like companies dont even bug test anymore before they release shit every version is more broken than the last
also windows 10 has no option to not install updates so it fucks my up time
I normally get like 2-4 months of up time on my desktop but my laptop is stuck with 10 because I bought it with 10 and it updates like every week my old laptop had an uptime of 11 months before I switched to the new one
maybe its just my autism

But if you're on a dual core potato or better of fairly recent times and have adequate RAM you will be OK.
My only real complaints about 10 are heavy disk IO (7200rpm or SSD is highly preferable) and that there is another layer of shit over the "real controls" to make the sys touch friendly - pointless on non touch systems but circumventable with the good old run box.

I don't know, it was when 10 was first being given out free. I decided to upgrade and had to immediately downgrade because there was no fix at the time. The consensus in the AA2 thread on /vg/ was that there was no fix. Haven't checked since.

It won't install if you don't schedule an upgrade date.
A lot of people don't know what they are doing when it first pops and up and click schedule the upgrade. After a bit it will pop up everyday asking what day/time to upgrade. You click cancel upgrade and then later on, the pop up will come back on asking for you to schedule the upgrade. Also, when you open windows update( I use 7) and click other updates, upgrade to win10 will always be check marked. So always uncheck that.
Microsoft knows their shit.

I still use Windows XP, and so far it's been just fine. The problem is the 64bit requirements for most softwares. I don't play video games, so I don't mind not being able to access those, but even softwares like Photoshop or the Google chrome browser both require to have an OS on 64bit. Even YouTube has minor issues for me because of this, but it's still managable. I hope I can extend this state forever.

>>75629468

Microsoft extorts hardware companies into withholding their proprietary drivers from the open source community. Switch to Linux can mean having to buy new hardware. The only reason anyone can justifiably use Windows is because their software doesn't support anything else. Everyone else doesn't need a PC and could do everything they need to on an Android device which is essentially Linux.

Win10 doesn't give a shit when it comes to MS servers, you have to block domains on your router or smthn, but it's not guaranteed that this will work forever, MS can easily patch new domains into windows.
>What should I know about this operating system?
Dual boot Windows 7 and Linux.
Disable auto updates on 7, don't worry, your brain'll be the best antivirus ever made.
Use 7 only for programs that you need, but aren't on Linux, and then use Linux for everything else.

Everyone keeps telling me what I can't do with my own PC. I pirate everything and have no problems. I haven't seen an ad in years. I couldn't give a flying fuck if they saw my files. If they get sauce they'll still have to figure out how to get past the panda, and if they do they'll have a good fap before catching Ahmed skyping his ISIS buddies.

Most likely nothing, a window will pop up telling you that win10 IS VERY GOOD FOR YOUR COMPUTER, UPDATE NOW, GO--erm, I mean, guy!
Botnet is, well, imagine your computer as some sort of zombie that executes orders of third-party. But MS just collects shitton of data.
>>75631313
Works for me. Odd.
>>75631155
A botnet is basically a network of computers connected either by a virus, spyware, or other means, with or without the user's consent.
And I believe what'll happen is that it'll install this totally not spyware infested OS called Windows 10, and your life on that OS will be private and secure!
Just ask Shlomo Shekelstein over there, he'll tell you the truth!

Microshill are absolutely DESPERATE for you to upgrade so they've made it so that in order to note get Windows 10 you have to keep a set of plates spinning rather than just saying no thanks once.
Only the other day they were accused of being underhand by making the cross box to dismiss the "would you like to upgrade" pop-up actually a trigger to start the download.
>>75627405
Holy fucking rage
>>75626052
Windows10 is shit. Uninstall it. It forced itself on my pc and I reinstalled windows 7. It keeps spamming me wanting to upgrade but I won't allow it. Windows 10, bloated, slow, intrusive, and annoying.
>>75626052
Don't worry microsoft have all your keys in case you lose them or someone else want to read the classified documents and code you have on your computer.
It's not like any of that information is going to be exploited in ie nigeria when our companies are getting contracts there and you want in.... nono use the microjew so the jew can get all your keystrokes, hack you in a piff... terrorism etc

imagine you are the fucking necromancer and can click a few buttons and make 20 million pc's around the world do what you want... like say for instance have each on access amazon 5 times a second.
I have a pirated copy of Windows 7 and I'm so glad I don't have to deal with this shit. Had Windows 8 on my laptop and it was horrible, that overlay is absolutely abysmal for doing anything
To prevent 10 getting in 7 go to services. Disable the service named: BITS.
There really is no reason to still be on windows UNLESS you play gaymes and even then you may be able to run it on WINE or even native.
I have Fedora 23 running on my laptop and it's reallyyyy good. You can try a few different distros using their live ISO to get a feel for them, I tried a few including centOS which I heard good things about but there was a few things that annoyed me and performance seemed vastly better on fedora. Fedora is pretty much red hat enterprise beta.

You should've disabled automatic updates. Just try to factory reset it if you can.

The joke with 8 is that the overlay and all the scrolling tablet shit you see takes 30% of the CPU to work on less beefy computers.
It's rage inducing.
I pirated windows and have never seen a single prompt to install windows 10
pirates win again
>>75631690
>mfw no Sony Vegas on Linux

>Switch to Linux can mean having to buy new hardware.
Wow what hardcore shilling. 99% of hardware works on Linux. If you want to do cutting edge gaming and take your graphics card right to their full potential, which is only possible with the drivers on Windows, then use Windows.
But, to say that switching to Linux means having to buy new hardware is an outright lie. Modern graphics cards etc work fine on Linux. Most vendors even write drivers for Linux, too.
>>75631760
>not having a PS4
>>75626853
Just download the language pack and switch your computer's local to Japan you fucking idiot.
I can play AA2, and others just fine on Windows 10.

It was years ago when I got it, but I think I just got lucky on the pirate bay and found a decent one. You'll need a crack as well if it's not provided.
Literally the only disadvantage is that I can't set a desktop background and get a black screen instead. I also get this message in the bottom corner but nothing has ever come of it

kdenlive is on par with adobe premier, it will literally handle anything you want to do...
beyond that just use the work computer that your Hollywood studio gives you cuz you are the guy who edits Game of Thrones.

Run windows inside a VM. Solved.
>>75632162
what games desu? steam is native, most large games get linux native releases.
a few like civilization arent, works great on wine though. wine has come a long way, you can play games from 2014-ish that are windows only.
>>75632308
... or use windows update and install critical security patches
dont forget the 3 popups you get at start up and every few hours.
please listen to the people trying to help you britbong

Windows 8.1 isnt too bad to be honest i can barely tell the difference between 7 and 8.1
>>75632380
I'll have to check out kdenlive
>>75632483
Vegas is quite a heavy program, are you sure a VM could handle it properly?
>>75626052
Is this why my index search isnt working anymore?
What I mean is I cannot find files on my windows 7 as it says "file not found" yet it is there when I manually search wtf??
I havent downloaded anything
>>75632657
Sure, a VM can handle anything just make sure to give it the full resources of your host machine. There are quite a few people doing this over on the sony software forums.

Could be a bunk update for 7, had a few that did some weird shit but got patched.
Ex: Control panel would crash immediately after opening it, couldn't change desktop wallpapers, there was a revival of the taking for fucking ever to shut down issue, etc.
>>75632633
you're kidding right?

How did u fix it? My restore point disappeared after 1 failed that i tried
I may try an index rebuild. I did it half way which it kind of fixed it but then went back to retardation

Just install Windows ME. No need to worry about forced upgrades.
>>75631786
32 vs 64 bit bleh. yeah chose one if you can
also get the latest source
>>75626052
I fell for the loonix meme a while ago, so when I reinstalled windows 7 I had to use a pirated version, so I don't even have to worry about this problem
>>75627505
>tfw leave my pc on for like a month at a time with just the occasional quick reset respite
This can't be good.
>>75633071
Most of the bugs I've found tended to be non-vital things, so I largely ignored it if it didn't cause an actual issue.
The never-ending shut down bug was a fucking nightmare though. Only thing that fixed it was restoring, but subsequent updates just fucked it up again. Ended up using manual "workarounds" until it finally consistently shut down properly after another update.
I'd say try a rebuild if you know it at least half-works, or be a pussy like me and wait for a patch.
>>75626052
Long Live Never10
