Microsoft should be freakin ashamed of themselves!!! People forget that Windows actually costs money, and most FREE open source systems run safer, faster and have 0 update issues on most hardware.

Great tips and examples. Keep up the good work.

As a last ditch pass I'm a big fan of 1). backing up important files to an external drive, 2). fresh Windows install using latest ISO, 3). update missing drivers and patches.

Thank you, I really like listening to you - you explain beautifully!

[MrFelipecheca]

Thanks a million, you made my day. You rock! My computer is working better than ever!

It’s too late for me. I will now stay here for 10 years.

Thanks a lot! My main takeaway is the powershell script and the Set-ExecutionPolicy command. I was also asked about the restricted execution policy when I used a Windows 10 debloater script you featured in a video back then.

Thanks Brian on doing a video on another great script.

God bless you and thank you. None of the other instructions here were as thorough as yours.

I notice that the more old version of w10 you have gone through the slower the installation of new feature update takes. I personally do a clean install to the latest version of 10 (after Windows as fixed most of the bugs) after 2 to 3 feature update so to keep Windows more clean.

for people who still have the slow 'Microsoft updates' download, unless you have slow internet speed, try this :
Make sure that the download speed in Delivery Optimization > advanced options > Download Options set to Absolute bandwidth, if the boxes under it are active make sure you turn them off, and set it to absolute bandwidth.
some people may have it active on limited download for background and foreground without realizing , that's one of the reasons the download takes a long time.

this is amazing, its literally just been at the restarting screen for the last 15 minutes, i haven't even got to the part where itd supposed to take long

Thy for another helpful vid, is there any video of bluescreen death and error logs in windows?

[johnathanasiou]

I deeply wished that MS would bring back the LTS channel release selections for those PCs which don't really need feature updates like retail, production level, public signage etc at very least for Win10 Pro editions, like it used to have.
Buggy win updates are a primary reason why OEM vendors dont always push them on Win10 embedded systems.
I am aware that its apparently enabled in Win10 Enterprise ed but that ed is super expensive & in todays CV19 depressed economic climate its a hard sell to quote on per unit cost, when the PC hardware itself costs very little in comparison & is getting cheaper

Thanks for that - Very helpful. After a few days of waiting for nothing much to happen, I followed the above step by careful step.... and eventually "Eurika" ! I must admit though, the download then update started (slowly, but surely) without me going through and running the Powershell script at the end. I wasn't entirely sure what that part was for... Perhaps you could expand on that a bit in a message here so I can weigh up the merits of running that part too ? Anyway, thank you so much - and well done ! Great job.

[DellOptiplex]

Thank you very much. After weeks of trial and error and trying several solutions. your advice of starting the system in limited mode solved my problem. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
