You might have some sort of error that needs to be fixed. If I recall fresh Windows 10 installed didn't leave enough room on the efi partition for expansion so there's an update that won't install because it needs to put stuff on the efi partition except there's no room.

I'll try and investigate if this is the issue. Thanks.
 
Every so often I still have to abandon Linux to boot windows. firstly, I think I have OK hardware, a 5950x cpu and a Samsung 990 SSD. Definitely above average

Whenever I do this I log in only to instantly see 10,000 updates all going at the same time, 500 windows ads or popups to get me to upgrade to windows 11, then my PC goes into an absolute seizure trying to start every program ever compiled by a microjeet all at the Same time.

How can I manage this behavior? It takes me almost a minute to complete booting, and another minutes to fight all the pop ups after logging in.

I wonder how most people will handle that?

most people are just selling their computers at least in here, calling it unused, if they weren't so expensive i'd buy them, many of the cases have plenty of HDD slots to build homelabs/NAS.
whereas they buy notebooks or prebuilts that already have windows 11, also you are forgetting the massgrave ESU shit, i enabled it for my version.

just debloat your shit and run them on a SSD/NVMe, enjoy 10 seconds tops of boot time.
 
I love when I need to change a specific setting that requires me to go through the stylings of the windows 11 menu to the windows 8 menu to the windows 7 menu to the windows XP menu.
You do too.

Is it worth it to try this? Every time I've turned off windows updates previously, I still get them, plus the ads that Microsoft pushes. I'm open to solutions, but I haven't really found anything that has worked. I already boot from NVMe, so that's not the issue.

There are plenty of debloat scripts out there, I'm sure there are some favorites here, I haven't done it in a while so I'm not sure what the best are these days.

Chris Titus's Windows Debloat is the best I've used. His youtube channel is pretty good, too.
 
That you need to debloat Windows to get it to go to the desktop fast enough with hardware like that is such a silly suggestion to me, have you tried not having 50 billion programs launch at once???? look at Task Scheduler and Task Manager Startup tab my nigga.

I only use Windows for AutoDesk programs tho. aside from that, Chrome and Discord, I don't have anything else installed. if that's too much, idk what to tell ya.

That still doesn't disable all the telemetry bloat
 
Apparently Windows can't cope with more than one ESP partition across multiple drives. I was trying to install it on a dedicated drive to play some vidya and it was shitting itself at the end of the installation process. Ended up removing "esp" and "boot" flags from my Linux ESP to pass the installation process.
In the end it created 100MB ESP like a total dickhead so my fat kernel wouldn't fit. I wonder if fixing flags will make it shit itself on major update.
LTSC is not too bad and my games work reliably, Proton is nice but some shit just doesn't emulate and I can't be bothered with workarounds which will break constantly because of DRM cancer masquerading as game launcher.

It would add files to existing ESP but still installation would fail at the last step, or it wouldn't boot, complaining about missing drive, use partition UUID you fucking jeetware, drive is there.

The Windows 10 EOL is going to be very interesting to witness. I suspect the vast majority of people who don't want Windows 11 will do one of two things:
- keep Windows 10 and not care about lack of updates;
- switch to Mac.

Most people WILL just hold the L and switch to 11 though.

Sorry about that question, then. I asked because your post sounded the exact same way that retards that criticize Windows sounded like.

It's the formula of making Windows sound 100x worse than it actually is and then asking a disingenious question on how to manage it (Basically saying to whoever is reading it that Windows is soooooo overwhelming with the bloat that they can't even manage it anymore and need outside help).

If you need help with bloat and Windows being a unusable piece of shit, I made this post earlier about 2 debloating scripts that I always use because they've been so effective (Along with an extra Microsoft Edge removal script that worked well)

Sorry if this is annoying or the wrong thread, but how do you  completely delete all the useless bullshit on Windows? I uninstall programs, close shit in Task Manager, and for some godforsaken reason there is ALWAYS some bullshit. I literally only play normie games on Steam and draw on free software so it's not a malware thing. (:_(

The ones that I use all the time on a new Windows installation are Win11Debloat and privacy.sexy. On regular versions of Windows 10, both combined got rid of a ton junk but some functionality was broken. It wasn't anything important...
