Well taskbar thumbnail previews shouldn't be a problem now.

They are still there, and they are annoying, but after using 7+ tweaker, they only seem to appear if i have two or more grouped programs running on the taskbar.

Setting a folder template for all folders will also disable Automatic Folder Type Discovery. You will still always be able to manually change the template and view of any folder to what you like though.

Automatic Folder Type Discovery is when Windows will automatically change the template of a folder to match the file type of the last file added or saved in the folder. For example, if your folder contains music files and you add a picture file, then Windows may change the folder template and view to the "Picture" template to match the new picture file.

I have set my folders to general items and checked apply this template to all subfolders. Will see if it works.

I found a way to get rid of the language input indicator, with the help from this guide. It's a bit tricky and requires a bit of tweaking, but it works.

Well done. The strange thing is that those instructions would appear to be the same as in this post:

Cleaning windows - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

I think its because you have to check the use the desktop language bar when it’s available option before you hide the language input indicator, which wasn't highlighted in your screengrab. If not, then I don't know. Anyway, thanks for your help.

I found a way to get rid of the safely remove hardware icon by following this guide. You have to download and install a program to get rid of it, which is ridicilious. I can understand if you are using a program to perform multiple tweaks on your computer, but having to install a program and accept its agreements just to get rid of the icon is a bit silly.

If anyone else have a better solution, please let me know.

I have also downloaded winaero tweaker and ultimate windows tweaker to see if they can help with some of this.

Well i tried windows ultimate tweaker. Honestly it didnt solve any of my problems, and it seemed to mess up some of the settings on my computer.

P.S does anyone know how to disable the pop-up message that asks if a program was installed correctly?

It never helps with anything and its honestly a bit annoying.
