Windows 10 post install tips or bugs
Hello,
Now I'm here after being a member of Seven Forums. I followed your posted install instructions yesterday and it looks like my Windows 10 update install is ok. Privacy being a big issue for me, I denied (selected Off) for everything it offered. Win 10 seems to be promoting their new apps (now the new-normal term for programs/software, not just smartphones). After the install was completed, I went first thing to check Settings and some of what I selected to be Off were actually still On. The there were many more apps and features yet to turn Off, which I did. MS is pretty sneaky but at last they do give the option to turn them Off including their personal tracking hogs, Cortana and Feedback-Diagnostics.
I figured out how to clean out most of the new look of Win10 on my desktop, just by deleting the apps. It now looks pretty much like it was in Win 7, with my icons where I want them. However, I can't move them into place as they seemed locked. How do I move icons around?
Also, above the Start button used to be a list of Start Menu programs I often used in Windows 7. Now there are only about 4 listed. I don't see how the add more into the list. How is that done?
My list of all programs shows some are now designated as "Unsupported". I assume that means they won't work in Win 10. Correct? If so, Is it save to uninstall them?
Thank you.
