Which is why I never try to beat the system. For instance even a failed upgrade gives valuable information to MS. So I don't create ISOs and rely on WU, or hack onto skip ahead or try to get something that MS in it's wisdom has decided I shouldn't have. Am I happy not to have Sets. No, but it really defeats the purpose of being an insider to work around that.

Rant over.

I'm of the same opinion, Keith.

Funny thing . . . when it first came out, I had Sets, but never did anything with it at the time. Next Build, it was gone. Oh, well!

Agree, I had already talked about that tool in another comment.

SETS has gone for all Insiders now on latest build. A common theory is 1809 is an LTSC build so MS decided to defer it.

Rafael Rivera, author of MACH2 is one of those IT pros I really respect. He is a walking Windows Encyclopedia, I trust him, his executables, scripts and batches 100%.

Having said the above, I must say I agree with what you said, Keith. It should be no surprise to anyone that use of "unauthorized" tweaks, registry hacks and Windows system mods, third party snake-oil cleaners and tweakers and such correlates with number of users having unexpected system crashes or other serious issues.

Windows is capable to take care of itself when everything done to it is valid and done using officially supported methods and tools.

Except in this Build!

I can concur with those having the 'restarting/freezing' Win Explorer issue. Resource manager shows no unusual activity either.

I still have Classic Shell installed and when Explorer restarts (either on it's own or if you do it), the Classic Shell will again work just fine....that is until you are done with it and click outside of it.

I have dual side by side monitors (continuous running display) and noticed if one Start Menu Icon freezes on one monitor, I can jump to the other monitor and click on the Classic Shell Icon and it works...only once however. I then can go back to the previous monitor and click on the Icon and it will work again (only once though per screen). It seems you can use it half a** like by switching screens and using both start menu buttons (if you have it set up like that). LOL

P.S. I know why the Classic Shell won't behave with the last two updates and I am going to fix it so I can use it and if any one else would like to use it as before. Let me know if your interested.
