Nothing in there except 5590 about ShellExperienceHost launching. I use 3rd party firewall also Windows Firewall Control V4.5 I have done similar method as you and only thing i get is message: (5950)"The app Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App was activated for the Windows.Launch contract successfully." But I guess the real problem I have is I don't have "turn on or off windows features" the dialog box is "empty" I have removed ALL traces of cortana, search2, maps, contacts, diagtrack, cloudhosting, xbox, from LTSB I guess i "removed" too much

That's easy: You have a graphics card, I don't. My Haswell system is running its display from the on-board GPU in the processor - which is a low-end Intel Pentium G3220 with Intel® HD Graphics. That BOTH our systems, with entirely different display drivers, are more 2D display-efficient overall in Win 7 says something about Win 10, and especially that the removal of Aero Glass has nothing to do with performance. -Noel Well that's what I have been saying this whole time: "aero glass" is kind of a part of the whole Desktop Window Manager can't be turned off in Windows 8/10 ...so that IS a performance hit.. you could disable it on windows 7 IF you turn OFF desktop window manager in windows 7 you WILL get better stability and performance Aero is "Pretty" but NOT needed and causes issues in Adobe and like i wrote GUI rendering on VST Plugins I had LOTS of Lagging of GUI on Waves Plugins found out it's Aero/DWM causing the error. On Laptops with quad core, dedicated Nvidia and 16+ gb ram should not have issues.....you would think. Windows 10 is slower than 7 with file access. As i was saying about winrar 5.30 speeds are slower than vista/7 the start menu lags alot. the UI lags (on Vista,7,8.1 The "flyouts" are instant) it will hang on shutdown from "program manager" I installed Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8.1 enterprise to test some things on fresh install... and you can notice a difference in responsiveness VS. Windows 10 on this same machine. like i wrote before This cheap old Laptop i have been running this LTSB N x64 on for about a month now. so it's had time to settle and get dirty. before that I had Vista on it. factory installed BUT I went thru it and cleaned it up of garbage. services and other b.s. I'm using the same stock 1gb memory but i replaced the HD with another cheap 5400 Wd blue So NOTHING speed/fancy for this tech laptop I notice a difference in performance between Vista and LTSB N ... It's common sense.... you know what your machine is "capable of" and I'm not expecting this machine to be blazing fast but HOW is it Vista/Windows 7 runs Faster on it than 10 LTSB (the most stripped version available) ?? Like i wrote before... I keep trying to make myself believe I'm imagining the "slowness" of windows 10 but it's there... The ONLY thing ever slowing this old laptop down is the low ram and flash on websites BUT I already know how this machine performs taking that into consideration with windows 10

I agree that cloud-integrated Win 8.1 is a smaller jump to Win 10, but no, I'm not assimilated, and Win 10 IS enough different [worse] to warrant avoiding it. How do you intend to buy a license for Win 10 Enterprise? That's a significant stumbling block for me as I don't need qty:5. That's also what I found when I did things like build Visual Studio solutions. -Noel I have had enterprise since Windows XP times as my friend has a business What do you think about this? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3033055 sure it's for Windows RT 8.1 .....but

"Search2 was there but wimtweak took care of that and remnants of cortana" Are you sure you totally got rid of that Whore? Not hiding in folders on the installed system in winsxs and other? Now, on a different install I used "search everything" and "file locator pro" search program and found all the junkware and just deleted that way....With No errors until i started removing "Windows Firewall" crap. "Its running identical to stripped down Pro according to passmark and yes that is a better measure because to me this 10 runs faster than 7 ever did with a 2011 HP I7-2600 @ 3.4ghz and 8gb ram with SSD. Same thing I ran on 7. Have 2 pages of APPS on here in add/remove, same things I ran on 7. Think we all know more stuff you add slower they get" I hope you're also using "real world use" not just "bench-marking" to judge the speed of windows 10 being faster than 7? Not trying to disrespect your knowledge but everything i have test shows me windows 10 is slower in "real world use" so far

I think you mis-understood what i meant IF you have already been using 8/8.1 then you're assimilated so making the jump to windows 10 is not much different. in terms of UI and stuff. Yes, I know the every 4 month but I was referring to Enterprise (LTSB)Versions as That's all I will ever try to use. For me Windows 7 Enterprise not much needed to tweak other than registry, policies and serivces... I always turn Desktop Management/Aero stuff off in Windows 7 because It makes graphics glitches and laggy on VST plugins on Audio Digital Workstations. I have found the computer to run smoother in general as well. Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Embedded Industry 8.1 (I found them to be the same) I removed ALL Metro crap, excess nonsense like defender and stuff ... after classic shell and registry editing it works like 7 LTSB N: IF you try to remove ALL the Junk/Spy crap change to windows 7/8 icons then edit the registry, policies, tasks. edit the bootmenu so you have F8 again. change the stupid bsod smiley face crap. change the theme to have similar "colored" (like win8) edit the UI some more it gets pretty close to windows 8.1 in terms of "workstation" Note: On a different LTSB N Install I used a "search everything" and "file locator pro" search program and found all the junkware and just deleted that way....With No errors until i started removing "Windows Firewall" crap.. Another Note: Microsoft is using Direct X 12 as a valid reason to "use windows 10" Did people forget that Open GL always been better and even 3DFX glide was better than DX It's forcing gamers to "upgrade" in fear of not playing games. Keeping a System up to date: That's a lot of nonsense. You do not need "Windows Update" to keep your system up to date as most of windows updates are useless "fixes" I believe it's mostly a scare tactic to make people feel "safe" Sure some "updates are required" But NOT mandatory to keep your Windows OS hooked up to some kind of Windows Update Feeding Tube. I used Windows XP corporate from before release date - 2011 I never Updated it other than Service pack 2 and I could run it for long periods of time I ran as long as 3 months without restarting. using it as music workstation, internet box, everyday use. I did similar with Windows 7 enterprise...similar results IF I were you I would remove ALL forms of Windows Update and Just Use Windows 10 like you would use windows XP, 7, 8.1 Update IF and only IF a "major" useful update. Like I wrote earlier IF LTSB gets the same "bugfixes" as all other than the only nonsense LTSB is missing is the JunkWare/Spycrap.. And that's Not needed for Workstation use. Yes curiosity....but Nothing yet has me wondering IF I missed some great new "feature" Maybe a Year or 2 from now..."windows 10.5" or something I guess my point is Windows 10 LTSB is still very far from performance and feeling of an actual "Workstation I see A LOT of people in denial and making false or uneducated claims/excuses when It's right there in their faces. Just use Common Sense & Logic....... I myself keep making excuses to install and use LTSB as my main DAW Workstation OS but "compatibility" and "performance" is making me think twice and more towards 8.1 embedded as main OS Right now, Windows 7 Enterprise = The best available OS Windows 8.1 Enterprise/Embedded Industry = 2nd (AFTER you remove ALL the junkware) "embedded is more of a stripped version of Enterprise 8.1"

All the OneCore Unified crap in Windows 10 a more proper name for Windows 10 would have been Microsoft "SpyBox One" to fit with the Microsoft "XboxOne" , "OneDrive" "OneNote", OneShot"" other "One" B.S.

I don't think windows will ever be like windows 2000 again I like having a workstation to make music and sometimes play video game. and i do not want a Toy/id*** box SpyStation If you are using windows 8.1 it's not really that much different .. I have to spend lots of time configuring windows 8.1/10 to act like 7 After I removed ALL the Metro B.S. off windows 8.1 enterprise and the embedded industry ..they were closer to windows 7 enterprise I'm not sure it's possible to remove ALL the spyware/junkcrap off of LTSB N I have to modify all over the registry both for visual and spying/turning off nonsense remove junkware services, features and nonsense. I got down to about 28 windows system process running without problems Explorer on windows 8.1 enterprise runs around 50-80mb Explorer on windows 10 LTSB runs around 30-50 mb Process Explorer crashes...never had issues on vista or 7 The whole windows 10 UI is laggy compared to windows 7 and 8.1 enterprise Winrar 5.30 is faster on vista, 7 and 8.1 both extracting and creating file transfer is faster on vista, 7 and 8.1 both from folder copy to folder and drive copy folder slower. Note: This laptop i bought at a garage sale for 15 dollars used dual core with 1gb ram pre- installed Vista with oem junkware crap plus the previous owner files so it was a "dirty vista" and it's faster than 10 ltsb. I don't need bench-marking tests to know difference in performance...(common sense + logic) If you are using windows 7 enterprise there is absolutely NO logical reason to upgrade to 8.1 or 10 Unless you have a program compatibility issue. or you're a masochist Example: Native Instruments music production software stopped supporting Xp/Vista. I can't understand how microsoft thinks it is professional to have any metro trash on anything considered "enterprise" or "workstation" I once watched a video a few years ago where bill gates and steve jobs argued over touch screen vs mouse and keyboard and Bill said "there will always be the need for a keyboard and mouse because it's more precise" so who's idea is this metro crap if gates was against it at that time? I don't understand how some people are cheering on metro and saying control panel needs to go away. did people forget that windows 2000 had almost no drivers and wasnt plug and play easy to use....but it always ran good like XP

There is no reason to waste time to compare....Do you know why? Because, The very nature and definition of LTSB = stability and speed over "Junk-Ware" & "features" It also means LTSB is supposed to get the same Bug-Fixes(Stability) and Security Fixes as you would normally with the crapware versions.(If you even care) Now try to use some Logic in your thinking 10586 is just Adding some bug-fixes + more Junkware + updating spyware definitions + adding more useless nonsense for kids and retards. When I wrote there is not a 10586 ltsb to compare it's because it's not needed ....10586 is a Irrelevant "update" for Idiots, sheep and kids to feel special

Do you even know what LTSB means? It's supposed to get "bug-fixes and security" NOT all the flashy trash spyware features. I'm NOT really sure how you can write "build 10586 is faster" when there is no LTSB 10586 to compare to ltsb 10240 since LTSB is the most "stable and stripped" windows available. Comparing 10240 to 10586 on The crapware. spying version YES....... probably "faster" NOT an indicator of Core OS "stability and speed"

I have been Using LTSB N and It's almost like using a "real computer" not a "phone/toy" edit the registry to make the borders colored and smaller, and stuff. Yes the junk still stuck on LTSB as you already wrote plus parts of search2/cortana is still on an LTSB install SearchUi really uses alot of memory on this version too Do search for "maps" = bing and maps is still on the system I tried to remove and get errors...maybe i'm not finding all the secrets...NO Metro/spy crap I removed everything successfully from 8.1 ent and embedded industry but don't know how on windows 10 ALSO: Everyone who writes "windows 10 is fastest os" is full of s***! this version should be "fastest" right? since it's "stripped down" NO! it's slow windows 10 start menu laggy.. File transfer is slower Booting is slower Most of the time I have 30-40 process running on 1 gb ram I'm running this windows 10 ltsb on a dual core amd laptop with 1 gb ram AND windows 10 is still alot slower than Vista, 7 enterprise, 8.1 Enterprise on this same laptop. Notice I wrote "30 process running" and still it's alot slower than vista, 7 and 8.1
