You can do most of this without any 3rd party tool.

>>54966014
I shouldn't have to use snipping tool for a screens shot. On Linux and OS X there are multiple keyboard shortcuts to take a screen shot, that automatically saves and is timestampped. In Windows you curry nigger and paste in MSpaint, or sniping tool and then save

Or you write a script in autohotkey to automate it for you, but yeah that counts as using third party software to get basic functionality on windows.

Bind it to printscreen button with a script.

What's wrong with third party tools? Linux the OS is an OS literally composed of third party software.

Alt+printscr to copy the active window, paste in Irfanview. Because MS thought there was no reason to allow multiple instances of Snipping Tool.

Using Linux, of course this functionality is to be expected.

>>54966269
But does pressing alt+printscreen automatically dump the image into a folder of your choice for you?

>>54966133
What's the practical difference?

Can you choose destination folder and/or name formatting for the screenshot?

In terms of practically, there isn't any difference. But in terms of convenience, it's a minor annoyance.

In all honesty as someone whose on 10 I have no idea how people fall into this pit. Not only does my install nag me constantly when it wants to install an update (and is generally good at finding times I'm not using my computer), tell me multiple times within an hour it's about to do it by literally blocking the entire screen, but mostly I've generally had more times than not booting my computer on in the morning to see it skipped the update entirely for some reason...

It's 2016 and Microsoft still can't design an operating system that doesn't require you to restart after installing updates. Shit sucks.
>>
>>54962643
match your windows theme color to your edge one

you probably have windows lockscreen on too...

in cmd (as admin):
sc delete diagtrack
sc delete dmwappushservice

now, install a real OS or gtfo. fedora would suit you.
>>
>>54966626
I haven't used Windows in years. Do you still have to manually uninstall programs one by one in the control panel?
Also, the update and restart applies to all operating systems when it comes to kernel updates.

With Revo Uninstaller that would be a no.

Nice quints.
Win 10 has a package manager, which is pure shit, and I only ever used it once, when I had to reinstall the fucking win10 store. So yeah, you are better off if you just uninstall programs manually.

Install just the start menu part of it. It will replace the native start menu. Works on 8, 8.1 and 10. I think it works on 7 as well, but there's not a whole lot of point since that already has a very usable start menu.
>>
>>54967811
no I meant how is it more useable?

>>54967870
Search finds the right thing more often. 10's native search supposedly learns, but for example after giving me Device Manager for "device" for a while, it forgets and starts giving me the useless modern "Devices" setting panel again.

Search comes up with results faster. Especially on oldish systems, there's always a lag on the Win10 start menu search where there it was much quicker on 7.

More search results displayed.

Folders inside folders. No limit on items.

The right click menu for items includes more useful entries. You can right click a shortcut and get properties instead of right click, show file location, right click that shortcut in explorer and properties.

Expandable control panel items list if you enable it, along with expandable lists for whatever other folders you want.

Single click power/sleep/whatever button.

Jump lists for pinned and recently used programs.

Lots of things you can customize in it.
