I bit the bullet and upgraded (fresh install). I'm using shadows for now =/
I would prefer not to use a 3rd party software to get the borders back.

Off topic / rant:
This has got to be the worst...

Here's how I got rid of the Orchestrator tasks:

On the registry editor, go to:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows...

Yeah, as far as I know, those are the options. If I had to choose, I'd go with accent colors rather than shadows (been using it like that on an 1809 computer).

I'm just hoping someone found a hack...

Up to v1709 (or 1803, not sure, skipped that one) active windows had a 1px border all around, making it easy to see them.

From v1809 (or 1803, not sure...) and up the border is...

Yes, I understand. They're 2 very different approaches to tackle a same problem: running untrusted software without the complexity/overhead of running a full fat VM with a separate OS.

Got a couple of empty groups on start menu I can't delete. They normally go away when you delete all the tiles, but these didn't.
I ran my usual script to delete all bloatware from MS that comes...

I'll wait until it's more stable. I've read reports of problems with Intel SSDs (which I happen to use for boot drive) and high DPC latency issues (which affects my workflow, and was a nightmare for...

Oh well, I've given up on Defender again, it's just not worth the hassle and annoyances.
I've been going for over 8 years without any real-time antivirus and haven't had any problem - a firewall in...

Hi,

I'm trying to use Windows Defender as my defense solution because I'd like to use the Controlled Folders feature, but am having a few problems.

System is on 1709 x64 16299.431. No other...
