    Windows 10 DEVELOPMENT

    in Aero Glass For Windows 8+

    Posted

    "AeroGlass is not intended to work on any other build than <= 10041." per bigmuscle http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173813-kb3055415-kills-aero-glass-on-win-10/

    So in other words don't complain if it's not working in the latest build releases or ask him to fix it etc. until he decides to update Aero Glass for all of us. Thanks bigmuscle for all the hard work you do and for bringing back Aero Glass for everyone to enjoy!

    Seems the non themeable issues with Windows 10 is preplanned by Microsoft , I have also noticed my control panel applets that have always worked from XP up to Windows 8.1 will no longer launch as well, Oh well will continue to play with Windows 10 but my main OS will be 8.1.

    Windows 10 built-in advertising discussion

    The NAI Opt-out Tool shows you all the big-name marketing companies that have installed tracking cookies on your computer and lets you opt out of some or all of them in one fell swoop.(in my case 65 companies were actively tracking my every move!)

     

    These 'Opt Out Of Everything Online' sites is one of the first things I do after a Windows clean install.

    Can you do a screen grab?  It's possible something's gotten into your system.  I'm not seeing anything like that.

     

    -Noel

    Well its been about 3-4 weeks since the last one but will do a screen shot the next time and post it. As far as something in my system ie malware I normally don't keep a OS for that long as I am always testing and reinstalling.

    Use of Local Account Being Phased Out?

    People are starting to call me a "conspiracy theorist" and "paranoid", so I guess I'll shut up about what I see as a major turning point in privacy.  I'd have thought the folks around here would be more concerned about this, but I guess I'm just a dinosaur.

    Hey your entitled to your opinion as others are entitled to there's.

    Quote from NoelC:  '3.  Windows Defender, as it seems quite efficient and also doesn't detect false positives.'

    The only issue I have had with Windows Defender IS THE False-Postive alerts with some of the Nirsoft products
    such as BrowserPassview, Productkey and Wirekeyview but that can easily be corrected by adding these to the exception
    list.

    LOL, I will only ever use a Microsoft account!   :thumbup  :thumbup  :thumbup

     

     

    I'm surprised at your willingness to hand over administrative access to all your data to Microsoft.  How do you reconcile that decision against the fact that they're being overtly devious lately, as well as messing things that were already working up left and right?

     

    Not that they couldn't drop load something through Windows Update and get data from all of us, even those with a local account, if they really wanted it.  But just handing it over freely seems extreme to me.

     

    To each his own.

     

    -Noel

     

    I am not in to that conspiracy theory stuff, sorry.  I see the MS account as a benefit, and I had hoped for it for years.  Now I have it, and it saves me a lot of time, and is an awesome feature.

     

    I find it handy signing in with my microsoft account as well to. I got nothing to hide from them. Also we all sign in to a account on phones.

     

    LOL, Yes i have nothing to hide as well, just a lot of gardening tips for my yard, various batch and script files and a heck of a lot of browsing on some place called 'MSFN' but no nuclear schematics.

    Use of Local Account Being Phased Out?

    in Windows 10

    Posted · Edited by DosProbie

    Well this last leaked 10056 build forces you to have a 'Active' internet connection and a 'Microsoft account', there is a work around if you want to remain as a Local account by doing the following. ~DP ;)

    Local account setup over Microsoft account
     - Connect to internet >> Choose 'Setup a new account'
     - At bottom choose the option 'Connect to my account later'

    I added a 'Make Directory' Command along with the 'Move' command in case the dated directory was not already created first else you will get a 'cannot find specified path error' and your file will not be moved over.

    ~DP


    
Set MYdate="%date:~0,3%_%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10,4%"
    
MD "i:\lenovo\base\blank\archive\%MYdate%"
    
Move "i:\lenovo\base\blank\image.wim" "i:\lenovo\base\blank\archive\%MYdate%\"

    Yes, I will only ever use a local account.

     

    As of pretty late last night I didn't see any evidence that people were being offered 10061 over on the Microsoft forums, and there's nothing on the Windows Blog.  Apparently we're talking about a mistake, not a real fast ring release?

     

    -Noel

     

    It's build 10061 but for Microsoft employees only at the moment not on fast ring

     

    Correct, that's what I said on Post #'s 492 and 498..
