That's what I meant. Backup is something you (and I) do regardless of updates. I've taught my Mom to use Backup&Restore, which is supposed to do just what it's called. Although, admittedly, Windows...

Okay but, how can imaging help the update process? I'm happy to have an image of my system when things go corrupt. I don't see what Windows being unable to update itself (how does Microsoft even...

Hi, thanks for taking the time. Sorry, I didn't mean to uselessly bump this thread. I'm in a sort of mixup between this here and HP's forum for a question regarding my own laptop, unrelated.

I'll...

EDITED: Posted at the wrong place.

Thanks for the information and how-to, Ghot. I'm not going to do this right now, but next time I'm at my Mom's. So it could be a little while. I'll make sure to report back and let everybody know how...

Hi,

I'm trying to help out my mom here with her little Acer Aspire. I usually don't have to make a lot of maintenance but lately she's been bugged by Windows categorically refusing to apply the...

Hi, I went for 2004 using the MCT. It took ages. It all seems to work right as yet. Most of all, I've been able to install all of Adobe's latest stuff. Thank you so much for your help.

I'll thank...

Sorry, somehow I hadn't seen the links in the posts.

I know why I come here. This has to be the fastest-responding community of the internets! Thanks guys. I'll check and see what works for me....

Adobe wants 1809 or later. I'm on 1803.


I've executed Sledgehammer_2.7.2\Portable\Sledgehammer\uninstall\Uninstaller_undo-all-script-changes.cmd with admin rights. It has executed fine with no...

Hey NavyLCDR,

thanks for your reply. So it looks like you are implying that Sledgehammer's action is irreversible, which I hadn't understood quite like that. Is it really? No way to un-do what...

Hi Everyone,

I'm profoundly annoyed by anything related to upgrading. I wish I could just use my computer and not be constantly worried by the OS sniffing in the background. That's why I used...

That's an excellent idea. Just not sure I'll dig out the time to do it! :D

Hey dalchina, thanks for your reply. Your first third-party suggestion worked well. Thanks a lot for that.

And yes, I had checked the tickbox.

Still, I can't understand how MS can make things...

Hi All,

I'll start this thread apparently for the umpteenth time, but none of the forum posts (and not just this forum's) I've read provided with a fix to this one.

My Windows version number is...

Thanks for your accurate reply.

I have disabled updates with the WMUT wrapper script.

I've slowly built and tweaked my system around this version and fear the unpredictable mayhem an update...

Build 17134.191. I do not know whether I'm up to date, nor how to be that if I'm not. I would prefer not to update anything.

Anything new in this field? I'm in 1803 and I cannot associate a file to a program. I can't believe they screwed up something this basic. Almost the WHOLE point of a graphical operating system is to...

Same here :-)

Cool visualization, thanks. Will use it and see.

As always, tweaking questions never get one final answer. It's almost always complex and different for each and every install. But...

This. Thanks.


Well, just the one. That's why I went for the external drive (which I use as a scratch disk anyways, so no loss here).
Guess I'll have to populate the other M.2 slot then.
...

Hello All,

I've moved the pagefile to an external, USB 3, RAID0 volume thinking I would try and get the best out of my workstation (is that a silly thing to do in the first place? Sounds like a...

Thanks a million. Your well-written guide has taken my friend out of muddy waters in a snap. He told me he'd register at TenForums and chime in himself.
I'd add rep again myself if the forum allowed...

Thanks for keeping up with the support!

All this happened about 7 hours ago, including the download, so I guess it must have been the latest version of the script. Again I can't tell the exact...

Okay sorry for multiposting. My friend's laptop is a workstation and, the advice to run the script coming from me, I feel kind of in a rush to help him solvethe problem. So I admit to not having read...

Unfortunately neither I nor my friend can tell the exact Windows build this happened to. But it's probably not a very recent one because he's been struggling with the OS to prevent updating for ages.

Hi All,

I forwarded the WMUT Wrapper Script information and download page to a friend so he could install and run it on his laptop. He did and rebooted and, apparently, it sort of killed Windows....
