[Official - Windows 10 Worst Crap Ever!]

As of a few days ago in my Win 10 test system I *finally* achieved a configuration that has these attributes:

 

• Is blocked from sharing whatever the heck it feels like with servers online.
• Uses only a local account.
• Has no ability to run Apps (UAC is off, most Apps are uninstalled, etc.).
• Cortana and Windows Search are history.
• Has a nice desktop courtesy Aero Glass for Win 8+, Classic Shell, and a number of other tweaks/augments.
• Can still succeed a Windows Update.
• Passes an SFC check.

 

That config only took what, all the pre-release period plus a month+ after release to develop.

 

Now Microsoft promises to deliver a whole new build in another 3 months (4 month overall cycle between in-place upgrades that reset everything and break most 3rd party stuff that relies on undocumented interfaces).

 

Even though I have it working enviably, I can't in good conscience run this system on anything but a test virtual machine long-term.

Any chance of you having step by step documentation? Most of what you've done I've accomplished but getting the Windows update working without the update service running has been an issue...

 

Thanks....
