    Here's a trusted website with some great Windows tools for you.


    Hi all -

    I have been using Sordum Tools for years and I wanted to bring it to your attention.
    Everything is free, though the website can be a bit confusing on how to download.

    Here is the main site:

    Simplify Your computer Usage

    And a better page for downloading:

    Download links for all programs

    Enjoy!

    We've been using their Windows Update Blocker (WUB) for several years on our classroom PCs where we teach older adults. It has never failed us...stops Windows Updates cold!! Sometimes their instructions may not be clear, but you can usually find answers to your questions by browsing through the comments.

    This website looks like it was made by a student or intelligence agent to be honest. Most of these are click to run scripts

    Why not have them all in one big compressed zip file so I would not have to click click click ???

    Why would you want to download all if you only need 2 or 3?

    These are like coin flip programs and or algorithms made for practice. I mean I congratulate the person who is making an effort to show off their software engineering abilities but reading most/some of this stuff are options you could access within the computer itself. Unless they perform bypasses.

    !!What I really want!!!

    I would love a program that bypasses all the restrictions set by "Activate Windows" on my 10 machine but still notes I have to activate windows when I go to the activation screen. I do not want to bypass the activation I just want to be able to customize ( make it pretty like the admin account ) my Windows 10 machine while still giving me the option to activate.

    Or

    I would love a program that allows me to format the rest of my MBR without having to convert to GPT??? Right now I have 2TB but it will not allow me to go all the way to 4TB without converting to GPT because ( It will not for some reason ). In order for me to do so I have to convert to 4TB via MBR and then instal Windows 10.

    Likeeeee I downloaded ___________ from _______ a long time ago. Then one day somebody was asking about ___________. I was able to provide them ________ and they was happy. I was happy to provide them the fix or whatever it was. Like great stuff out their we could utilize later. A great example is how i386 ( x32 ) has so many programs that could still function with the only limitation being the vender is no longer around. That being said tons of programs just sitting around that could accomplish etc job. Take file sharing, way before that their was tons of applications and programs you could do video chat, and move files between computers, and txt type on a W95 machine.

    The reality you have tons of programers who are just reverse engineering other peoples works and retooling, revamping the same program for X64 or even ARM64 when the same i386 ( 32 ) program can work just fine. Until 32 bit programs are no longer supported but instead emulated ( Virtualize )

    Like the other day the power went out. Oh look a generator that runs on gasoline and or Diesel.
    It just sit their in the corner collecting dust until a power outage happen.

    Take a person on this forum has a power issue where Windows ( With Chrome or media player or even Windows update of course ) is using the processor like crazy for an instance. I suggested checking out "JouleMeter". Which is an official program from Microsoft they only recently integrated into later Windows 10 ( but this program could even be used with XP most likely as well Vista,and probably 2000 or even 98 ??? )

    Like right now I am trying to install or purchase OSX as a virtual disk into my primary computer because I want to run one specific program but then I realize that bootcamp might be able to substitute for the installation itself. Oh look that disc with bootcamp, or ohhh look I found an alternative to bootcamp so maybe I do not need to Virtual OSX PPC to run this one program which aides me in my income.

    That is three different options.

    1. Buy an OSX machine
    2. Virtualize ( emulate ) the OSX OS ( as far back as Leopard and Tiger )
    3A-3C. Get bootcamp or an alternative to run this one program with he bare-bones OSX files needed to run this one application ( etc ).

    Or maybe I am a nutjob who has pack rat hoarder tendencies.

    Welcome to TenForums!

    Lol. It's not the Sysinternals Suite, where you can download all of them at once.
    You can reach out to Sordum and ask them to implement that.

    Many of these "simple" Sordum utilities are actually quite useful.

    I post a few useful websites as a public service.

    Yes! Perhaps a good therapist would be of great help to you.

    I wish I could not "look in the mouth" but over the years I have become more and more cautious with my consumption of just about anything. It is like looking at media and asking "how did this garbage got made". Tons of nice snippets of code but half those things could be done if we knew what switch to change in the

    Regedit
    resmon
    Taskmanager --> Startup
    RamMap
    TaskSchd

    Or whatever file or tool that needs tinkering.

    Some of these programmer majors ( as I have taken up programming and keep track of people I went to college with ) are unable to get jobs outside the government that allows them to do interesting work and have high pay rate.

    Like a person with a computer background or even the slightest programming background could make way more way faster selling out to invading peoples privacy and ruining their lives. As with the city, state, and or fed.
