    What are the settings/things to do after installing Windows 10?

    Is there a Checklist somewhere? Or any guides that you follow?

    I mean adjusting the settings and prevent annoying things that will happen.

    For example to prevent Windows 10 auto restart after an update: go to Settings>Update & Security>Windows update>Advanced options>[Choose how updates are installed] select "notify to schedule restart"

    I am sure there are a lot more things/settings that you do after installing Windows 10.

    Thanks

    :)

    Install cClock and change the settings to black text on white screen, that'll be easier to see.

    I get rid of the large Cortana search box and replace it with the Search icon or remove it completely.Right click on the Taskbar, point to Cortana then select Hidden (my choice) or Show Cortana icon.
    Right click on Desktop, Themes, Desktop icon settings. Check all 5 boxes then Apply and OK to get system icons on the Desktop.
    In Themes, I also pick a Theme or download a new one from the internet.

    Right click on Taskbar, Properties. Click on Customize. Click on Select which icons appear on the taskbar and turn on Always show all icons in notification area.

    Four of the main things I do is turn on System Restore and turn off Fast Startup. Then I check to make sure I don't have any problems with any of my drivers. When I'm sure everything is OK I make a image of my drive with Macrium Reflect.

    Edit: forgot about checking for any updates before I make a image. So It's five main things I do. *Smile
