Since you say this often, are we allowed to ask if a certified board of education labels you as this, or is it just something you label yourself as? edit - and to make it fair, I dropped out of college after TEN YEARS, did not complete an actual degree, but still LABEL myself as an ENGINEER (but so does the company I work for ).

Which does kind of make me wonder if Win 10 Pro could legally downgrade TWICE - once to Win7 Pro, the second to XP x64?

Some also don't classify my i7-4770 to be "era-correct". It was launched in 2013 and came with Win7 which was released in 2009. Microsoft's own "downgrade rights" was still in effect as late as 2016 and perhaps even beyond. So YES, my hardware is "era-correct" per Microsoft's own "downgrade rights" licensing! But not "all" Win7 machines qualified for the FREE DOWNGRADE LICENSE (an UPGRADE to all of us that did it!). And the "downgrade rights" was only eligible if Microsoft provided support for the version of Windows that you were "downgrading" to. Extended support ended in 2014. So again, YES, my hardware is "era-correct".

I consider myself a real XP user. Although some folks don't consider x64 XP to be as real as x86 XP. Was 360Chrome developed "upstream" using Win 10 SDK where XP support was merely an afterthought? No clue. But yes, I very highly suspect that 360Chrome would not exist without Win10 being used "upstream". But I also couldn't answer that for any of the roytam1 offerings or any of the feodor2 offerings. But again, I highly suspect that none of their offerings would exist without Win10 being used "upstream". Which reminds me, I have always wondered how the 1 and 2 came to be.

Ah, I'll take your word for it.

You're only showing the player's "start screen", does the video also PLAY for you?

Depends on which "default" you are referring to. If he uses the "default" for running my releases as-is, then he's spoofing Win10 but maintaining v86. If he is not using my custom loader.ini, then his UA is his OS + v86.

The .com works perfectly fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_general-purpose_CPUs https://siliconvlsi.com/why-does-32-bit-called-x86-while-64-bit-called-x64/

My builds spoof Win10 but do not spoof away from v86. My builds use - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 Safari/537.36

Again, I have never heard of an "accelerate discharge battery" option in Win10. Please provide why you think such a thing exists. You could just have a NEAR-DEAD battery and you are blaming Win10 when it is really your NEAR-DEAD battery.

Works for me. Did you disable your beloved uBO or try in Incognito before reporting?

Agreed. But I think Windows has a way to "restore" Registry edits that Windows itself doesn't think you should be editing. I could be thinking of only Windows Defender and not Windows Updates.

Not so sure that would work. Windows has a way of using its "system32" folder to bring back anything that Windows itself thinks you "didn't really intend to delete" even though you knew exactly why you were deleting it.

Ok. But that wasn't a "question", it ends with a "." and not a "?" But yes, if NTLite was part of MSFN, then I guess there is no reason that WinReducerEX can't be. Though it sounds like it was because the author of NTLite was an MSFN Member whereas the author of WinReducerEX is not.

What questions did I ask? I don't recall "asking" any.

One of my tricks, I will unpack ALL of my extensions and REMOVE the "description" line because I don't want it displayed on my chrome://extensions page, then repack them before drag-and-drop (Developer mode NOT needed, I've actually NEVER used "Developer mode"). This also CHANGES the extension's 32-digit "string" to something that would never match anything at CWS.

Nope, no plans to. People want something they can just download and run. They want the work done "for them". The process also takes some trial-and-error for drivers (especially for some laptop webcams) and MSFN Members do not have the patience for trial-and-error DIY that requires time on their end. There is also quite a bit of trial-and-error for .net framewoks and other things that Win10 doesn't install (or uninstall) by default until you go into Settings -> Programs and Features. My install does all of these installs (and unistalls [XPS Printer comes to mind]) right from the first install. There has been times where I will install a "hotfix update", but for the most part I do not believe in up-to-date OSs, the hype and propaganda for "security" is just that, hype and propaganda. The typical MSFN Member does not share that belief, they want auto-update, they want every hotfix that Win Update throws at them, they loose sleep if they run an OS from 2016 without any updates post-2016. The XP crowd is probably the exception - but even most of them want "stuff" like POSReady which I myself do not support.

Agreed. Doing some digging, my older versions of Win10 have Windows Updates intentionally broken. It will show up as a "service" but is disabled and the Settings -> Update status page is intentionally broken and no updates are ever installed "automatically" (I do update, but I update MANUALLY, never "automatically"). And it never turns itself back on (I do not recall if it did before all of my tweaks). And yes, you are seeing this correct - Win10 is quick, snappy, and responsive with only ONE GB RAM once you tweak the "crap" out of it. That said, Win10 2016 LTSB does show its age every once in a while and installers for some programs will not install unless on newer versions of Win10.

Try changing the https part of the update_url to hxxps. I've not tried it because I use ungoogled and disable the CWS API URL.

GPU-Z does seem to work in XP x64 on my GeForce GT 635. But it's pretty much always at 0% with a 1% blip very rarely. YouTube 1080p videos would bring it up to between 6 and 8%. Nothing seemed to bring it any higher than 8%.

Ungoogled does intentionally block extensions from auto-updating. I've seen some extensions that "phone home" to GitHub instead of Chrome Web Store.

I would look at the internal .js files BEFORE you drag-and-drop. My guess is the auto-update URL can be disabled via internal .js file.

Oh, forgot to check last night if my POP Peeper accesses my O365 email.

Hmmm. I was not an MSFN Member in 2018. NTLite does not seem to hit recent discussions so I guess I assumed that tools of that nature were discouraged.
