Windows 10: I do not play games, dont want to, dont plan to

I have absolutely zero interest in playing games, I do not plan to play any games and it will never change. Yet I constantly have problems with the Gaming Services. I was able disable all of the XBOX BLOATWARE that do nothing but waste resources. Yet I still have problems with your Gaming Services. I am unable to change the startup from Automatic to Manual or disable it. Yet I somehow will always find a solution to the problem your updates cause and will get my laptop to running as it should... that is until you do another update that goes and f;s everything up ONCE AGAIN.. It is a never ending fix everything that YOUR FORCED updates cause... Oh and if you would STOP shoving your pathetic Edge browser down my throat it would be appreciated.

How do I delete programs that dont exist according to windows explorer

Windows 10, I force closed steam while it was writing to the hard disk and now all the games i had in the steamapp/common on my C:/ drive are gone.

BUT

Steam is still downloading synced data from the cloud for these games, but to install them i need to free up space

BUT i cant free up space because Windows Explorer doesn't see them...

BUT Recuva finds them.

BUT it ignores them regardless of filter settings....

SO now, i have only a few megabytes of free space on my c drive and i need to someone clear up 200 gigabytes of data that i cant clear up because the files dont exist.

I'm assuming I'm royally donefor and I'm ready to just give up. I was planning on getting an ssd anyways.

TLDR:
- force closed steam while it was writing to disk

• steam/common folder is "empty"
  
• file space is still occupied by programs that "dont exist"
  
• recuva ignores the files
  
• cant free up enough space to have steam check for installed games
  
• need to delete files that "dont exist"
  
• steam client cant send support ticket for whatever reason
  

Turns out steam moved the steamapps folder into the steamui folder. steam is weird. Hello future people trying to fix this! check to see if some other steam directory folders are a bit too big...

 

Modern Warfare 2 and 3 dont start

In the Sticky Thread "List of Games working on Windows 10 Technical Preview", people are saying that MW2 and MW3 are working on Win10. But its not working for me.
After I start the game, i get a black screen for a few seconds and then i get back to the desktop without any error message or something like that.
I play many games on Win10 and every game is working flawless.
Only MW2 and MW3 arent working. Both games are using the same engine, so i think the solution should be the same for both games.
I already tried to run the games in compability mode, but this time i get the message "iw5mp.exe has stopped working".
Also i already tried to run as admin. An actual Catalyst Control Center was already included in the Technical Preview.
I installed a few directx patches, but they dont helped me.

When I start "dxdiag" the programm is crashing. After a restart I get a message if i want to skip the Direct3D Test to avoid another crash. After i Click Yes, its shows that Direct3D Accelerate is not available.

 

Windows 10, 1607: What i dont like.

Same comment here. I also have an expanded list of all "apps" in my start list. Someone suggested Classic Shell. I tried it for a while but would rather just clean up the Start provided with Windows. If there's a way to get rid of the expanded Apps list, I'd like to try it.
