Windows 10 1809 with New Ryzen Chipset Drivers

[lexluthermiester]

And I ask why you would want none of that stuff?

Little of it is actually useful? I mean, the camera might be at times, but then again, most camera's for PC come with their own camera program, so who cares?

Only setting you have to change is disable telemetry on gpedit.msc.

Or delete the service that runs it...

Two minutes worth of time? Really? I can remove those apps in two minutes. Even less if you get one of those batch files that can remove them in one shot using Powershell commands.

I guarantee you are not removing Cortana, Edge, and all the other offensive "built-in" apps in two minutes. I tried on every major version of 10 released, it's only getting more difficult with each passing version.

Oh and for the record, LTSC(and LTSB before it) is proof positive that Cortana, Edge/IE and all the other preinstalled crap can be removed without destroying the functionality/stability of the OS.

Going to probably do LTSC once Win 7 dies. Good info in this thread.

IE

Some older software does depend on the trident engine for rendering html help files.

I haven't used a help file that needed it in long time. Interesting and good point though.

And I ask why you would want none of that stuff? I mean I can understand that some of the bundled apps can be a bit annoying but some of them are quite useful while the annoying apps can be removed/uninstalled.

I just do not need any of that stuff I even use Classic Shell cause I hate the Windows 10 start menu. I really like a simple stripped down OS without all the extra stuff.

Microsoft just needs to put that scheduler in from 1903 for us LTSC users. We don't need anything else from that update. I think I will live chat with Microsoft again and see if they can do anything. I mean if more people buy Ryzen 3000 series CPUs it should be natural that they implement that scheduler only for LTSC

Ms should of just added useful functions to 7 (WDDM/DX12/NUMA/better scheduler) and left the gui alone

There still would of been the telemetry aka spying that everyone gets up in arms over for 10 since Microsoft back-ported it during the Windows 8/8.1 timeframe.

Just live chatted with someone from Microsoft about LTSC 1809 and the AMD scheduler. After chatting I can confirm that so called "tech support" doesn't know their front from their back LOL. I just ended the chat and left pretty pathetic if you ask me about Microsoft hiring so called tech support. They should work in warehouse being that's the IQ they have XD

True, but it's easy to remove. Again deleting the service "Diagtrack" is the solution.

OneNote, I use that to keep notes in. Weather, duh. News, again... duh. Calculator... do I need to explain? Cortana, I can understand that but that's going bye-bye soon as per Microsoft (they gave up on Cortana). The photo viewer isn't that bad. As for Edge, yeah... I don't use that but I do use the new Chromium Edge that's in beta right now. In fact, I'm posting in that Microsoft web browser right now. As for the Store, I used to get some apps like the NetFlix app which is pretty cool if especially on a notebook PC if you ever find yourself without Internet access because you can cache NetFlix content on your PC. I watched NetFlix content on my notebook on an airplane without Internet access thanks to cached content.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Weather, duh.

Weather.com

News, again...

Pick your own news site. Why rely on Microsoft's narrow focused news channel?

Calculator... do I need to explain?

calculator.org - calculator.org

The calculator home page

www.calculator.org

It's old, but it's also perfect. Far more functional that anything Microsoft has ever put out.

The photo viewer isn't that bad.

The older one or the new one? The one in 7 is great, the one in 10, not so much.

Ok, that's actually very cool. I think the iOS and Android versions do that now as well, if you have enough storage..

I removed all telemetry from Win 7

Have you ever looked at the Windows 10 Calculator? I mean really looked at it? There are basic calculations but there's a whole lot more! There are unit conversions like length, temperature, volume, mass and weight, energy, speed, time, power, pressure, angle, and data conversions.

Weather.com

Oh but does it send weather alerts directly to your desktop? Like if you have a weather warning like a severe weather alert or tornado alert? Nope. The weather app does and will tell you to get your ass underground and in a shelter if a tornado is threatening you. It does the same thing with other alerts like floods, wind advisories, severe thunderstorm warnings, etc. all of which are important to your safety. These alerts are pushed instantly directly to your desktop as a notification.

Pick your own news site. Why rely on Microsoft's narrow focused news channel?

You can pick your news sources and news topics. You can select from ABC, CBS, CNN, BBC, NBC, Fox News, and a whole lot more. The best part of it is that it aggregates and combines all the news from all of the sources into one spot and if something happens anywhere in the world, it's instantly pushed directly to your desktop as a notification much like the weather alerts.

It's really obvious that a lot of you haven't really taken the time to explore some of these apps, once you start using them you'll probably find them to be quite useful.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Have you ever looked at the Windows 10 Calculator?

Not really. No reason to. I like what I have. And let's face it, most people are using apps on their phones.

Oh but does it send weather alerts directly to your desktop?

No, I have a phone that does that.

You got me there, and I don't care. I'm not interested in the "mobile app" software model on my PC.

EDIT; I was going to be testing standard versions of 10 later this week. You've motivated me to start today out of shear curiosity.
