Weird that people use compatibility mode for Chrome. Beyond me. :sarc:

Well, I don't see the services deleted. Maybe I didn't run it with Admin option.
BUT if I disable the services, I find them set to manual later. Not good!

Are you sure you have them all, including SP1 & Hotfix?

There's no encryption unless you explicitly enable it via BitLocker. Cheers.

Hi,

yes the Media Creation tool works perfectly. It was false positive for sites & Microsoft to report "it will not activate if you don't update to it via Windows Update". I upgraded my PC...

Yes, it can minimize RAM usage by blocking connection to all those tracking/adware sites :) I love it!

Some process is using it. Download LockHunter and see what in the folder is preventing it from modification.

I'm also careful and never had problem without AV. I recommend you to get latest malware hosts blocker and add uBlock Origin to your browsers. You will have greater protection at no performance cost.

This shows how to delete 2 services.

If you prefer to just disable them, go to services.msc and look for...

Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums (See Option 1)

I guess it's because it's old and Win 10 will not run well on it. It's not just the frequency the processor is running.
You might also try clean install via USB/DVD, I think no checks are done there.

So if you try the tool, your PC will not have a license. You have to use the upgrade app (Windows Update)

Reinstall Chrome. Simples.

Mate, what you posted is posted everywhere, and as you see they're trying this method.
Doesn't work for all laptops, location doesn't matter. Hope that's clear now.

P.S. No offence please.

Thanks for collecting and posting them here. Would be helpful for many users.
Personally, I hate OneDrive & Defender mostly :D

Perhaps try contacting K-Lite developer, he might know something or add option.

Turn off Fast Boot in BIOS if it's enabled and try to smash F8-F9 when you see the motherboard logo.
If all goes well - try to boot into safe mode and see if you can do that.

If not, well you...

Yes, that's the only info I get for partial hiding. Try to right click on it and see if it has option to hide it (I was trying something similar in Insider builds).

If not, look at some...

Yep, mine is theory too, but more likely the cause. I faced similar issues before because of GPU drivers.

PSU brand doesn't really matter. If it was failing, power outages more likely than freezing.
Must be GPU/SLI/Driver for 8.1

I think it might be related to SLI. On upgrade, my GTX was auto-upgraded to 353.54 version which is not available on Nvidia's site.
However, it's fast and no slowdowns.

Check your GPU's driver...

Not that you care, but I have the opposite problem - windows closing. :D
I open something in control panel and few seconds after it's closing. It happened at least 10 times. Microsoft, hello?

We all have to be patient if that's the case. Or try again, waste space on precious SSD (if you have one) and keep failing :D

I ended up waiting for my desktop upgrade. Already downloaded like 50GB's of 'failed' shit on my SSD. Not to my taste. Cheers lad, take it easy.
