So does this update, end up with another "Hi, we've updated a few things..." messsage?
Windows Defender history will not clear. It pops up UAC to hit yes but it doesn't do anything. Broke!
Well I have a long history on there I want to clear. I forgot to put my Nirsoft tools on the exclusion list. They always get hit with FP's and now I cannot clear the long history.Hmm mine seems to be fine? I'm also using Kaspersky 2017 so maybe that has something to do with it....Not a big deal at all though really, is it?
When I disable UAC and hit clear, the screen flashes and nothing happens. I just keep clicking and it just keeps flashing. Probably just a bug. CU has the new Defender UI so it's probably not working yet.how about disabling uac then clear it...
yup have that issue too with 7/8/10.
Why the fuck can't MS stop turning things back on that I turned the off? It's MY GOD DAMN PC. NOT THEIRS (Oh wait...this is Windows 10 we're talking about). I turned off allowing apps to access the camera and the microphone for a reason. Don't turn it back on! I don't want apps running in the background. So don't fucking turn it back on without permission you fucks! All that shit was back on for BOTH laptops.
Did you go through the privacy settings during initial setup?
things got reset because it was an upgrade. youll have to turn shit off again but then it should be fine after that. yes its a pita, way she goes.
I just want the media creation tool updated with the newest build.

To the user it's an upgrade-- a forced upgrade, in fact. But actually behind the scenes it is a reinstall.There's no excuse there. An upgrade doesn't have to reset my settings. It's an UPGRADE. Not a re-install. I don't need a Setup screen asking me again to use Cortana or let theirspywaretelemetry sit on "take all the things" mode. They have the ability to just leave it all alone. They just don't want to because they'd rather see if they can get another couple of thousand people or more sending all that good data up to the mothership.
how is the new Game Mode?...does it work as intended by prioritizing CPU/GPU resources during gaming?...that's the only new feature I'm really interested in...I've already tweaked my privacy settings so all those changes don't really effect me
On a reasonably powerful system it doesn't seem to do much, in fact it might even degrade performance. Like many guessed, it seems to do a lot more on slower systems especially with back ground tasks running.
is Game Mode enabled by default or can you disable it?
It feels like one of those low-end rig things like ReadyBoost. It might help a PC getting 20fps to get 23fps. If you're already getting 90fps, game mode is not going to improve your experience.how is the new Game Mode?...does it work as intended by prioritizing CPU/GPU resources during gaming?
Then there's the subtle social engineering bullshit in said setup screen. That screen where they default everything back to on when I already have it all set to OFF or "basic". Turn thespywaretelemetry to Basic and you get a big yellow message that says "You'll be sending Microsoft less data to help fix errors you encounter." That'll sure as shit spook my mother and some of my siblings and make them go back to "Recommended". Fuck off MS. Isn't 3000 data points enough data for you to leech? Do you really have to use a subtle fear tactic to bend the wills of the uninformed masses to get more than the 3000 data points?
I don't mean to rant but seriously...what the fuck is MS doing? Is it really that hard to just the fucking settings alone?
Microsoft Forum Patrol will be pulling you over any moment to explain why the settings reset back to MS defaults are for "Your protection" and a "good thing", because "you want to help make Windows better don't you? And besides, Google's doing it!" and if you protest will engage in the usual victim blaming "You must have done something wrong" because it's "Not happening on Microsoft Forum Patrol's own sig-rig" and therefore "why do you hate Microsoft?"
Edit: Too late.
Which is weird because there's a separate "Use Game Mode" on/off switch under Gaming. Why wouldn't that just try to use Game Mode for every game?You have to active it on a per game basis:
