Good evening everyone :)

First off, I am going to pre-apologize if I sound vague in any form. Not entirely positive how to exactly describe what's happening/ask the question I need to, but I will...

So I've been constantly Alt+F4'ing my laptop's "hey it's time to update" for a while now ... Turned on my system and the only website I can pull up is Facebook.

Is it possible that because I...

Also.. because everyone has asked I'll answer :)

Thank you so much to everyone for all the replies and terrific information!



I think I'm going to go with your idea alphanumeric. I really like the thought of going with a pure Windows 10...

I will give that link a read over, thank you :)


Another thread and website I read tells me that if I have a copy of Windows 10 Pro (as opposed to Home that I have now) that there are options to...

As I have been reading further around...

If I upgrade to Win 10 Pro is it very difficult to 'revert' to Windows 7?

Hopefully I am asking this in the correct area.

So, my laptop came with Windows 10 installed.
Then the creators update happened...

System ran like pure garbage, had to do 2 factory resets to...

Unfortunately the Cleanmgr didn't free up any space.

I did a fair amount of searching and found nothing telling me I can't delete the folder.

After half an hour of more searching on how to...

There also is a Windows.old folder

Just did this, I haven't found a definitive answer yet doing some searching so I figure I would ask here...

Is $SysReset folder safe to delete?

I'm running an ASUS laptop that had Win 10 Home...

Good evening everyone!

So, I just got finished doing a nice fresh factory reset as Windows did some updates and my computer run slower than molasses in January.

After it was done, I had some...

Thank you everyone for the help!

I store everything on the secondary drive, so if ever Windows majorly crashes (or in this case runs like garbage) I can just instantly hit 'reset' and I won't lose anything I don't want to.
Just...

I have no clue what you're talking about lol.
Is this another method to prevent them?

I think I am going to just wipe the HD and do a fresh install (or I guess it would be a factory reset since it was all pre-loaded and there isn't even a cd-key on the laptop) and create an...

Yes, that is the only thing I have found that can prevent automatic updates.

Well it was running good.

If I do a shut down, the boot is perfectly fine but programs are slow. And Warcraft is still noticeably slow (shutting down the game takes at least a minute as opposed to...

Started off with turning off fast startup

Already seems to be making a considerable difference :D Going to run some stuff and see how it does.

Suggestions: not yet. I give them a shot.

Regular backups: no.

I have both an external HD available and a secondary hard drive in the laptop that has most of it's 1TB free. And flash drives,...

Hey simrick!

Sorry I didn't get back to ya yesterday. Busy day that evolved into watching the hockey games. Sadly neither one turned out how I hoped lol.

Normally I am fairly competent when it...

Thanks for the quick reply simrick

Here is the screenshot. Unfortunately I don't have time to test the suggestions right now but I will get on it tomorrow morning.

And I'm pretty sure it was...

A couple of days ago my system did an automatic update (which I have hopefully found a work around to prevent).

Ever since it rebooted from the update there has been a noticeable drop in...
