Don't forget, OP, when you click to check for updates, it will say 'checking for updates' for like an hour or more but in reality it's downloading them. So it's not locked up or anything like one would think.
>>53904059
>>Install windows updates (all day)
>wait for Windows 10 to self-install
>>53904150
Yeah you have to say 'no', and from there on out it should be in your optional updates.
Not to say that I haven't seen the more aggressive updates. It's like playing Russian roulette.
OP here, what are the windows updates I should avoid?
Specifically, the anti Windows 10 one.
>>53904192
Avoid any 'optional' updates.
>>53903937
>Popcorn Time
Neck ur life
>>53903917
Nope, I just hadn't installed the graphics drivers yet.
Since OP made this shitty thread already, I might as well ask.
What is a good image viewer for windows?
>>53904127
You can fix that by installing a patch.

Good decision
W7 is a good OS.
>>53904254
The default? What a shitty post in a shitty thread.
Upgrade to 10 and stop using deprecated software.
>>53904305
I don't think windows 10 would play well with my Thinkpad T420.
>>53904127
Why does Microsoft lie?
>>53904325
You can always revert back to 7, the process is pretty easy and painless.
>>53904273
default can't show animated gifs.
>>53904372
>painless
I doubt that.
>>53904305
kill yourself

>>53904254
Irfanview

Wow this is useful as fuck, thanks lad

To get the linux download experience
>>53904448
You can join a domain and do remote desktop. That's pretty much it.
>>53903937
>vuze
????
what????
why?????
>>53904394
It is and literally just takes 5 minutes. It basically restores the previous version Windows directory (it gets saved when upgrading). But whatever mate.
>>53904470
My bad, disregard. I thought you said pro vs home prem
>>53903937
I'd have these setups around if I could. I see use to much of what you described.
>no foobar
that alone takes care of audio transcoding
I didn't know baobab could be used on windows. It must stink though, windows cripples everything.
>>53904450
That works, thanks.
>>53903887
Fuck off
>>53903937
Basically this
and downgrade to xp
>>53904238
Smells like Chinkpad.
>>53903917
my monitor is very old...
>>53905192
you need to be less gay
Wipe and install Win8.1 with Classic Shell.
>>53904447

>>53904185

That works until the next critical nagware update comes and reverts everything
>>53905303
It was great until Adobe threw a fit about them installing flash without the complimentary shitware.

Can you actually run a VM inside a VM?
>>53903867
Install Chocolatey and enjoy!
>>53906369
given enough resources why not

Hide these following updates from Windows update, install the rest.
>>53906996
What do those updates do?
>>53907095
Botnet, micro$oft spying and win10 notifications, if not win10 itself
>>53903867
install gentoo.
>>53904325
I have an X220, so pretty much the same thing on the inside.
The driver situation is bad. Windows Update always wants to install a specific version of the Intel HD 3000 graphics drivers. It will fail, and it will just try redownloading it again the next time you start your PC. The Windows 8.1 chipset drivers from Lenovo will not install, so you'll be stuck using the default Microsoft AHCI driver from 2006 (which will hurt SSD performance). The battery threshold manager barely works.
>>53903867
>that resolution
wtf is that? a crt?
>>53907142
Exactly. I'm sticking with Windows 7
>>53903867
install gentoo
>>53907095
KB3035583 is Win10. I don't really know what all the other ones are.

Seriously, what's your fucking problem with updates? I literally just disabled them after fresh install and after I got SP1 and my system is still running perfectly fast (admit fresh install was recently). If everyone would be doing that on Win7 there would be much fewer shitposts about hiding/avoiding specific Win10-related updates. Just disable them all together already! There won't be any super bug-fixes or magical security-updates that will make you immune to super haxors. Disable them! Something you should have done years ago. Seriously, where do you go on the internet that your computer gets fucked up? Only toddlers need antivirus/anti-malware/updates. If you can't use a computer without fucking it up completely in the course of 1 year then I strongly advice to consider suicide.
