Windows 10 Aprile Creators Update... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

You mean the Spring Creator’s Update is finally out?!?!

I spent several days attempting to build a strategy for removing the crapware from clean Win10 Professional installs. Minecraft, movies, and adware just should not be available in a professional setting. After several days, I gave up. Not everything can be removed, and what is removed has a nasty habit of reappearing via Windows Update. The company will drag its feet on Windows 7 while our corporate culture officials mull transitioning to Apple or Linux. (I've been using desktop Linux for many years now. I won't say it is "perfect". Far from it. But as Windows gets worse and worse, Linux has become "superior" for those needing only standard office automation applications.)

The "Reader" app for PDF files disappeared.

It wasn't bad. I miss it already.

This downloaded and installed yesterday and it took awhile.

With that said, not much has changed based on what I do and I certainly don’t use MSFT Edge.

It just seems so bloated with stuff I never use.

Killing off apes?

Does Jane Goodall know about this?

I wonder how long until MS has an update that will kill Office.

Thanks for the update dayglored. As a firm user of Windows 7 Pro, MSFT seems to be doing more and more to discourage my even thinking about switching to 10.

Long live a good, stable, reasonable, easy to use operating system, Win 7 Pro. Does everything I need and then some. Just sits there and runs.

Oldie, but goodie:

“A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft’s electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter’s position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter’s window. The pilot’s sign said “WHERE AM I?” in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign read: “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.” The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER” sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded, “I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, like their technical support, online help and product documentation, the response they gave me was technically correct but completely useless.”

Well, MS hosed me again.

Thanks to the update, I now have "user.000" in addition to "user".

It's affecting my OCD...

And applications looking for the directories formerly in "user".

Morons.

I got the update today but since I already uninstall a lot of the unnecessary programs and configured W10 to NOT silently install the garbage programs, those programs weren’t reinstalled and the silent install is still turned off.
