    The separation of all those services into individual svchost instances - beyond the obvious waste of resources - is claimed to prevent co-hosted services from being crashed along with services that crash.

    Do you think they're doing it for OUR benefit?  Or do you think that will give them license to release poorer quality services?

    When's the last time you had a service crash in Win 8 or older?

    -Noel

    well unless you can actually see when the service crashes, like with a popup, never. background crashes may be there but dunno.

    Yeah, this whole Active Hours thing is ridiculous. I've posted a couple of times about it on the Insiders Feedback app. What capability, exactly, does it provide that the user didn't enjoy before? The only thing it accomplishes is to force you to plan out when you will reboot as otherwise Windows will do it for you. How about I make my own decision in my own good time??? :realmad: My PCs have been known to wait for weeks with the Windows Update reboot reminder quietly sitting in a corner until I finish clearing my numerous open windows and am good and ready to reboot. At my convenience.

    especially since this looks most like for an average work PC coz of the very regular setting with no changes for the days and so on and they are 1) usually active longer than 6 hours and 2) they usually get shut down each day anyway.

    "Telemetry would show" that mouse activity on the screen suddenly shot up astronomically as people desperately tried to figure out where to click and drag stuff. Company mouthpieces would then boast of the "increased engagement" that Windows 10 had generated among users.

    oh my god this is actually hilarious.

    If you want a reliable OS, stick to Win7. If you like Metro/Modern UI, Win8.1 is nearly identical to 7, the only difference is the interface. If you want an updated OS, Win10 is the best choice. In work environment, 10 is the worst OS. I personally find it too multimedia-friendly, at home is quite a good system.

    or if you have no problems with moddings, and want an OS that's still fully supported although being not w10, take win8.1 (I was in the first row of haters but some win7 themes, plus classic shell and also aeroglass by the great @bigmuscle made me love it especially because of some small but useful features like instant screenshots without any 3rdparty software (win+printscreen) or a quick way to get to admincmd or disk management etc (win+x))

    Invisible crap update:  From an insider forum another tech had the same white rectangles with 14915.  His brilliant solution was to revert to 14905.  However, that required using the "blind chicken technique."  Clicking on the white space for a log on and then logging in worked.  A real desktop appeared so settings could be selected.  Blind chicken technique:  1:  Select Win update block  2:  Select 5th item up on the left (Recovery)  3:  Select second item from the top on the right (Go Back to an earlier build)  4:  Confirm that is what you want.  5:  Wait for 14905 login to appear.  Usable crap (Other problems).

    Once in awhile this crap is fun.  Second childhood!

    oh my god, but do you have some screens?

    14915: Invisible crap!  Installed 14915 on two insider computers and the computers were rendered unusable.  White on white is very difficult to read and understand.  Seems like some people like it according to another forum!?

    are you kidding me? this sound too bad even for them. do you have a shot?

    but well it is a fast ring insider, but still shouldnt this be caught in the more internal rings?

    also this build has kicked the WLAN on surface pro 1 and 2 into oblivion and the only fix seems to be a reinstall of an older version as it seems that reverting fails.

    So, as of today, W10 has turned from crap to real fertilizer.  So, it has become a much more valuable product.

    what do you mean with that?

    w10 locked down even more gpedit/registry options to enterprise/edu/server now. 1511 already kicked the "disable store" option, now even more are locked down.

  6. I know exactly what you mean, lowkeyidaho. For folks who either pay extra when they download a lot or get throttled back when they download more than a (fairly small) quota - such as what happens with satellite Internet connections - it's just silly to have an OS that's constantly communicating BIG TIME online, without the ability to dial it back.

    I'm showing having used 17.5 GB this month on a test system that's blocked from downloading updates except when I say so in every way I know how, including the use of firewall settings to "deny by default". I still catch it doing stuff when no one is around.

     

    that's exactly why we have metered connections because, well they are metered.

    and not I havent heard about Inched connections for US (bad joke I know)
