Get the GWX Control Panel I have a Win 7 machine, Win 8.1 machine, A few Ubuntu boxes and a Win10 laptop. As long as I do not do anything with the laptop I like it. Try to change graphics settings? Audio? get low level control of the USB ports for astronomy software and cameras? Fuck Win10. I can't uninstall Cortana, can't turn it off, can't stop it from fucking with my usb-serial adapter(?)! As funny as this will sound, the one OS I really enjoy is the 8.1 machine. Other than the fucked up start menu garbage they pulled on us, I can do the work I need when I want to tinker under the hood. I think I am staying 8.1 on the stuff that has to run Windows until Win11 fixes all this shit.
