What's crazy is all this can be disabled in Windows by a power user or enthusiast, but they don't want to, so they want to move to linex, an operating system designed for power users
What's crazy is that everything a power user does to disable these things gets UNDONE with the next windows update.
A real power user wouldn't waste their time with that added maintenance of re-disabling things.
I haven't had a problem with everything staying off, except one drive turning back on which was annoying but took 5 secs to turn it off again.
Proving the point, it's a never ending battle with windblowz
Have a great day
But wouldnt you always need to check, that those settings keep the way you want them? I heard that windows sometimes resets some of those settings.
Yes I've had one drive turn itself back on before. Annoying.
