Windows 10: Best way to go about stopping windows 10 acting more like a virus than an operating system?

I'm playing games and such and this OS constantly takes over all my systems resources and often hard-locks the game im playing, sometimes for 15+ minutes at a time and I'm sick of it. Some of the games i play I could easily lose weeks of time because of this idiotic design.

I wan to turn off EVERYTHIG that is non essential and has a drain on system resources, or at least as much of it as I can.

Is Microsoft infecting Windows 10 with built in virus? Win 10 acts like a virus

September 30th I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS VIRUS WIN 10 OS! I left my computer on overnight to run some VERY IMPORTANT calculations that need to be run. Instead of getting to my computer in the morning to find the computer running and the calculations running
too that would be expected of a normal operating system. INSTEAD I FIND MYSELF LOGGING INTO A FRESH RESTART AS WINDOWS 10 TOOK IT UPON ITSELF TO INSTALL YET ANOTHER OF ITS ENDLESS NEVER ENDING UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% using windows 10 is a
real garbage operating system that is unstable. Here is yet another thing I cannot do is depend on my computer to do tasks it once did, Windows fix the garbage windows 10 you created and forced us to use. Shutting down and installing updates without specific
user involvement is completely unacceptable. AGAIN windows 10 is like having a virus on my computer. It destroys data during some updates and prevents me from working as I need when it wants. I needed that data processed and instead this VIRUS called Windows
10 decided to shut my computer down, UNACEPTABLE IN AN OPERATING SYSTEM. Another Windows 10 fatal mistake is not being able to shut down WITHOUT BEING FORCED TO UPDATE. How about if you want to a quick reboot because the Windows 10 POS is not operating correctly,
cannot just do it with my SSD drive I should be done in seconds but instead I am forced to wait for yet another endless update I do not want installed at that moment. USERS need to decide when updates will be installed as on other Windows.

By the way task bar is still locked at bottom making it difficult to operate machine on many functions such as downloads where I have to resize browser to gain access to where bottom save as command or operating excel and many other programs you are blocked
visually or cannot gain access to buttons. This was fixed then stopped working again multiple times with the hundreds of forced updates so it is not a local issue and thousands of others have complained about this too for the last 2 years yet windows cannot
get their act together to fix it for good!

In addition over the last week thanks to endless unstable forced updates my CPU is pushing 100% constantly, thanks Microsoft for the Windows 10 Virus you created! The endless unstable OS that behaves like I have an infected computer, thanks Microsoft.
Business owners do not even consider adopting windows 10 it is unstable and has been for close to 2 years now. the best decision I have done is to refuse the ENDLESS notifications and auto install attempts (yes windows on another machine tried to install
Windows 10 like a Virus does) I caught it and killed the installation I did not authorize. For 6 months on that machine everyday I have no clue if win 10 was going to take over my computer with all its attempts they finally stopped when the "FREE" offer stopped
end of July 2016, thank goodness the attempts to install the virus infected (acts like a virus) Win 10 ceased!

Windows you created a broken operating system that is unstable and continues to be even more unstable. From day to day you change my operating environment as a user this is unacceptable. Now I am dealing with 100% CPU issues caused by recent updates, the
problems are endless and to many, this a joke of a OS. In decades of using MS OS products this is by far the worst experience of them all. One more thing constantly changing the computer makes for all these problems and an extremely unstable computer environment.
Every time I am forced to update yet again I hold my breath as I have been left with black screens on reboots wondering if I will have access to my computer, this is all a very serious problem and again as a user Win 10 has a virus infection, it is windows!

 

Microsoft Announces Windows 10 Operating System

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday unveiled its next Windows operating system, Windows 10, and gave a first look at an early technical preview for the PC available Oct. 1. The announcement highlighted advancements designed for business, including an updated user experience and enhanced security and management capabilities. The company also introduced the Windows Insider Program, kicking off its largest-ever open collaborative development effort to change the way Windows is built and delivered to best meet the needs of customers. Program participants will receive the technical preview of Windows 10 and a steady stream of builds through the development cycle to use and give feedback on.

"Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows, unlocking new experiences to give customers new ways to work, play and connect," said Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Operating Systems group at Microsoft. "This will be our most comprehensive operating system and the best release Microsoft has ever done for our business customers, and we look forward to working together with our broader Windows community to bring Windows 10 to life in the months ahead."





Windows 10: familiarity and consistency across devices
Windows 10 adapts to the devices customers are using - from Xbox to PCs and phones to tablets and tiny gadgets - and what they're doing with a consistent, familiar and compatible experience, enabling even greater productivity. Windows 10 will run across the broadest range of devices ever from the Internet of Things to enterprise datacenters worldwide. Microsoft is also delivering a converged application platform for developers on all devices with a unified app store. Developers will be able to write an application once and deploy it easily across multiple device types, making discovery, purchase and updating easier than ever for customers.

Windows 10: designed for the challenges of modern business
Windows 10 builds nearly everything that businesses need right into the core of the product - including enterprise-grade security, identity and information protection features - in ways that can reduce complexities and provide better experiences than other solutions. One area of advancement is in the work Microsoft has done with user identities to improve resistance to breach, theft or phishing. Windows 10 will also help advance data loss prevention by using containers and data separation at the application and file level, enabling protection that follows the data as it goes from a tablet or PC to a USB drive, email or the cloud.

Management and deployment have been simplified to help lower costs, including in-place upgrades from Windows 7 or Windows 8 that are focused on making device wipe-and-reload scenarios obsolete. Businesses will also have the flexibility to choose how quickly they adopt the latest innovations and influence continued improvements. In addition, organizations will be able to customize an app store specific to their needs and environment. The intent is an app store that will allow for volume app licensing, flexible distribution, and the ability for organizations to reclaim or reuse licenses when necessary.

Technical preview PC productivity
The early technical preview of Windows 10 demonstrates new levels of flexibility, navigation and familiarity through the Windows experience. Features include these:

• Expanded Start menu. The familiar Start menu is back, providing quick one-click access to the functions and files that people use most, and it includes a new space to personalize with favorite apps, programs, people and websites.
• Apps that run in a window. Apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop programs do. They can be resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing users to maximize, minimize and close with a click.
• Snap enhancements. Working in multiple apps at once is easier and more intuitive with snap improvements. A new quadrant layout allows up to four apps to be snapped on the same screen. Windows will also show other apps and programs running for additional snapping, and it will even make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open apps.
• New Task view button. The new Task view button on the task bar enables one view for all open apps and files, allowing for quick switching and one-touch access to any desktop created.
• Multiple desktops. Instead of too many apps and files overlapping on a single desktop, it's easy to create and switch between distinct desktops for different purposes and projects - whether for work or personal use.

Open and collaborative development
The introduction of the Windows Insider Program demonstrates Microsoft's continued commitment to working closely with customers to help shape the future of Windows. Windows Insiders will be able to give feedback on early builds of the product throughout the development cycle. The program will include various ways for Windows Insiders to engage in a two-way dialogue with Microsoft, including a Windows Feedback app for sharing suggestions and issues and a Windows Technical Preview Forum for interacting with Microsoft engineers and fellow Insiders. More information on the Windows Insider Program and the technical preview can be found here.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
