| If I install Insider Preview of Windows 11, can I keep it without rolling back to windows 10? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 07:29 PM PDT As the title says. Since I have the hardware requirements to install Windows 11, can I upgrade it right now through Windows Update and not worry about having to do a clean installation after? Many thanks.

| Why are apps not cleaning after themselves when I uninstall them? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 10:40 AM PDT I was wondering where my free space is going, uninstalled multiple apps and it didnt help much. Then i discovered that all of these apps left tens of gigabytes of data in AppData folder. Its ridiculous. Why is Microsoft not doing anything about that? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Microsoft's 180 from Windows as a service is very confusing Posted: 18 Jul 2021 03:22 PM PDT Between the evolving tentative requirements, and the complete reversal in messaging, it's starting to seem like it might be easier to go back to running Windows in a VM with vfio on Linux. Windows 11 does not enforce any hardware requirement checks for VMs, and you can still get close to native performance in KVM. For the past year I've been waiting for WSLg, Linux app GUI support slated for Windows 10 21H2 and they have reserved this for Windows 11 after reading between the lines, which means if you don't have a TPM 2.0 device at release time (based on current requirements), you can't use this feature. Even if they do use TPM 1.2, what this means for you as the user is you have to enable secure boot and you will not be able to dual boot as easily with Linux, and can only use certain distributions. This is going to be too inflexible for some people's use case. I have to disable the printer spooler service, because there are zero day exploits Microsoft can't keep up with, meanwhile are putting effort into fragmenting their user base for security features that won't prevent this type of problem. It also has the potential to create a lot of e-waste at a time PC hardware is expensive, and the effects of humans on the environment are high. These requirements are unproven to help the consumer, and Microsoft is currently actively alienating some of their users with abrupt, contradictory changes. [link] [comments]  | ||
| AMD (for gaming) and Nvidia (for other apps except games) GPU both on one system Posted: 18 Jul 2021 05:43 PM PDT So I had this idea lately if this is possible. 1. AMD GPU - Strickly for games only. 2. NVIDIA GPU - for other applications that needs hardware acceleration (ex. Chrome, Steam.. Etc etc.) But the main thing I really want to try is to use Nvidia Apps like RTX Voice and Shadowplay. Can I play games using my main GPU which is a Sapphire Nitro 6700xt WHILE using RTX voice/Shadowplay with an Nvidia card (maybe a 2nd hand 1060/1050ti card is enough) to record gameplay? Also I have one monitor only. Any answers or tips is appreciated. Thank! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to disable Windows 10 automatic reboots for updates? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 05:10 PM PDT I've searched for nearly an hour now and not really come up with anything that everyone agrees will work. My raspberry pi 3 died last week and it was running an OpenVPN service in a docker container for me half way around the world in my 73 year old mother's house. I actually needed that pi for my work and some other uses like helping her on her computer and the best way I can think of to stand up another system without literally flying around the world during a pandemic without a vaccine (not available here yet) is by getting a laptop shipped to her and helping my mother stand that up over a video call. The plan is to use TeamViewer to do initial configuration and then purge TeamViewer with extreme prejudice. I did that for her Mac years ago over a voice call, too. So the plan is to run the Windows OS that comes with the laptop and run a WireGuard tunnel endpoint (natively as a Windows service) and that would be the only port exposed to the internet and the only thing the laptop does at all. Literally nothing else except that I might VNC or RDP in to the machine once connected to the endpoint, but that would still mean only one port exposed to the internet. I want to disable automatic rebooting of the OS because it's disruptive and obnoxious and makes me doubt the ability for me to do this one task reliably. For example: what if an automatic update breaks the machine or prompts for something on startup? it may be something simple for me to fix, but not for my mother. Or it may require her to do more work than I want since I want the machine to just sit in a corner humming away and she should forget it exists. It also just breaks the single function I want it to do while it is rebooting. Is this possible? If it's possible to continuously tell Windows I'll update later through a script, I'm happy to write that script, too. I suppose if it is not possible I will see if it's a possibility to walk my mother through installing Linux on the machine instead. Upgrading to Windows Server is just out of the question for such a simple task and would be basically as complicated trying to support the installation from across the world as installing Linux. Please help me, Windows Gurus! You're my only hope! PS: This will be Windows 10 Home, but I've found guides for enabling RDP and Group Policy Editor already. [link] [comments]  | ||
| is 4gb ram enough for windows10? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 03:48 PM PDT I'm trying to build a computer for my cousin, as his acer aspire laptop can barely even run roblox and is falling apart, but the motherboard I'm using is damaged and super picky about its RAM, and my 8GB stick will cause it to freeze during setup, so I want to try a 4gb stick to see if that fixes the issue, but is that enough? The things my cousin is doing is web browsing, stuff like youtube mostly, unfortunately in Google Chrome, and basic gaming such as Roblox and Minecraft Bedrock. So, is 4GB enough? Edit: Nevermind, the motherboard is dead. the 4gb stick is still causing issues. [link] [comments]  | ||

| KB4023057 not getting installed Posted: 18 Jul 2021 02:35 PM PDT I am having hard time installing a Windows update for the last few months now. It's KB4023057. I tried the manual update but still cannot install it. Should I even be worried about it because it's an update from April 2021 and then next cumulative update that came after it should have it? For some some reason the RMM is triggering "patch required" thing for this KB. Any suggestions? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Windows 10 Custom Theme Performance Posted: 18 Jul 2021 09:16 AM PDT Hey, I just wanted to know how much custom themes affect performance on average. Like how much RAM and CPU they use compared to not having anything at all. Also, how easy is it to undo the changes made by whatever patching software you need? I recently started a fresh install of Windows and am suddenly tempted to do some heavy customization for the first time in years, but I don't want to mess up my installation this early with a bunch of impossible-to-find registry/system changes and noticeably worse performance. Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, 16gb RAM, RTX 2070 Super. Will I notice anything? [link] [comments]  | ||

| A new bug that prevents Windows 10 from sleeping, here are some solutions. Posted: 18 Jul 2021 12:51 AM PDT Hi, I've recently noticed with a recent update to Windows 10 that Windows Update itself has a service called "Update Orchestrator Service" that has been preventing Windows from going to sleep. To confirm this you can open PowerShell and enter in the powercfg /requests command and see it's .exe under the requests. To solve this Windows Update does have to be disabled and re enabled like a toggle until MS figures this bug out. To do this make sure your using PowerShell as it's a great tool to see the history of your commands so that you can toggle it on and off like a switch.
this is to assess the problem. Once you confirm it's windows update waking your computer then run this command:
this stops the service that is keeping your computer awake, then you'll want to run:
to re enable it run:
just remember to stop the service first when disabling it, then re enable it again with the latter command so it's 3 commands altogether. If your pesky about detail and want to make sure PowerShell has the right history so that you can easily pull those 3 commands up you can go to:
modify the entries if you wish so that you don't have nonsense in the history of commands to easily toggle this on and off as you wish to enable your PC to sleep. This is my workaround for this problem, feel free to do it your own way but I hope this helps. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Will windows UI ever go back to what it used to be? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 08:06 AM PDT Hey. Ngl I've never been a huge fan of 8 or 10's design. 11 just looks like mac to me. They all kinda remind me of the over simplified logo meme. Think we'll ever get the old ui back? Or maybe an option for some "classic mode" that lets you use an older ui? [link] [comments]  | ||
