How to use standalone installer of .net 3.5 win 10

I want .net 3.5 installed on my computer and instead of enabling it in windows features (It starts to download it), I want to install it with the stand alone exe file I have to avoid my slow and moody network.

W10 Start menu always up on waking from sleep

Thanks MarkG125 & GearWorld. Your solutions work great. I can avoid the start menu on wake-up by not using the start menu to sleep the computer. If I right-click on the start menu and sleep or use Alt-F4 and sleep I can avoid the start menu on wake up.
I imagine using a designated 'sleep' key on the keyboard would also avoid the start menu on start up, but I don't have one to double-check that.

 

That's the whole purpose of "live" tiles -- they are kept constantly up to date.

If you don't want them, you can remove them from the Start Menu -- but I don't know if that turns the related services off in the background.

 

right click and select turn live tile off

 

hi
you know , i did a test
i boot windows (the same i did with w8.1) and i keep idle , the antivirus eset smart security 9 scans for example 600 files

i did boot windows 10 i kept it idle , the same antivirus with the same settings scannned more then 2000 files

hi
does it block downloading from the net?
thanks

 

The whole purpose of the Metro Live tiles, whether you are in desktop mode or Tablet mode, is to allow you to use them. I purged all of those tiles and the associated apps off of the test unit I was running Windows 10 on, until I wiped it to load Linux on for program testing.

 

No mate nothing else is affected it will just stop that app checking for updates . I've deleted all of them personally but it's just as easy to turn them off *Smile

 

hi
did you uninstall them all ?
even email , and calendar?

 

Have a look at this tutorial

no sorry i meant deleted them from the start menu as in removed the tile the apps are still there and available to use if i want them *Smile

 

In the start menu you only have a shortcut. If you delete that, you have not really accomplished anything. The program is still there.

 

I don't think he wants rid he just wants them to stop accessing the interweb *Smile

 

Simple :

settings > system > display notifications > apps,power > notifications and actions > all your app notification on/off toggles are in there *Smile

 

edit
hi
i have only email enabled ,but i guess it the notification banner
