After getting rid of all of the bloatware ... changing some system settings ( a lot of system settings ) , and turned off all of MS spying shit ... my laptop boots up in less than 7 seconds But, I think I will leave the current release of Windows 10 on my other laptops ... nothing in the new release compels me to go through the hassle I was requested by Window update to install Windows 10 2020 a week ago, but held off and checked on several forums, most of which advised waiting until Microsoft sorted out the bugs in it. Glad I checked first. I switched off Auto update 2 years ago and have always preferred to do a manual update instead. My laptop takes about 30 seconds to boot, but that’s probably because I have everything except my firewall and Windows defender/virus turned off at start.

Aqualung Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Just viewing a concert at Wembley Arena from 2019. Babymetal playing. I really don't know why I've not changed channels by now because I just don't get the concept! I thought this sort or stuff would appeal to mainly young teenagers but judging by what I see in the audience it appeals to adults as well. Weird stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop takes about 30 seconds to boot, but that’s probably because I have everything except my firewall and Windows defender/virus turned off at start. I run a swag of virtual machines including 4 Windows 10 systems. When I was doing "hot fix Wednesday" last week one system was offered the May 2020 feature update. They must be doing a the usual staggered release. It's a virtual machine and not used for daily computing so what the heck. Haven't played with it much but no issues so far. I can now "cast" video files from the Windows 10 system to my MINIX box or TV. I guess I could cast to my phone as well if I had a client installed. The MINIX box uses AirPin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code_slayer_bkk Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 ^^^^ I stopped using my MINIX box a couple years ago ... seems when I did use it for the NBA and NFL ( why watch the NBA and NFL now - more about f**king politics that the game itself ) it took forever for the MINIX box to update itself ... just now go to youtube and get the 10 minute highlights of the NBA games .... If there is a particular movie I want to watch ( not many ) I just download a torrent and I never watch TV ... Maybe I didn't give the MINIX a fair evaluation .... but, waiting on something to download and update itself is not for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what box you have depends on if you can up date the O/S and this will allow you to install all the new and latest apps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
