How to change default PDF reader, Edge, in Windows 10

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft Edge is the default PDF reader in Windows 10, which is good, as it beats needing a third-party, free PDF reader software. But if you’re wondering how to change the default PDF reader, then we’re here to help out. This post will show you how to change the default PDF reader & viewer, which is Microsoft Edge browser, in Windows 10, to one of your choice.

Change default PDF reader in Windows 10

change default PDF reader
Microsoft Edge, while not the best web browser in the world right now, is pretty good at being a PDF reader. If you are interested in basic reading, then Edge will suffice.
That being said, Windows is all about freedom of deciding what you want to use, so if Edge is not your cup of tea, there are several options out there, some of which are even better than Edge. So naturally, some folks will want to change Edge from being the default browser, and that’s fine, so let’s get down to it.
The procedure to change default PDF reader is the same for changing any default program. Move to the where the PDF file then right-click on the PDF file itself. After that, you should see “Open With” so just hover the mouse over the option, then click on “Choose another app.” A pop-up will appear with a list of programs that can open PDF files.
From this list, users can choose a particular program and they can choose the option that says, “Always use this app.” That should solve the problem by changing Microsoft Edge from being the default for opening PDFs.
Here’s the thing, there’s a chance your favorite PDF program may not show up on the list, so what then? Well, instead of clicking on “Choose another app” just click on “More apps” and it should show what you want to see.
Another way to get this done is by opening the Control Panel, then click on Programs > Default Programs > Set your default program. Wait for the programs to load, and then click on your favorite after. From there, it should be possible to set this program as the default.

TripAdvisor Windows 10 App To Be Pre-Loaded On Windows 10 Devices

Trip Advisor Hero
TripAdvisor, a popular website for those looking for travel advice and reviews, will be releasing an app for Windows 10 this year. The product will be a true Universal app which means that it will work across all devices that are running Windows 10.
The app will support comparing hotel prices, booking hotel rooms, looking up restaurants, booking reservations at restaurants and of course you can view the reviews contributed by the more than 290 million members who use the site. In addition, the app will support ‘Near Me Now’, a tool that brings up nearby points of interest.
But, the interesting thing, or upsetting fact about this app, is that it is going to be bundled on ‘millions of Windows 10 compatible devices’. While the post does not explicitly state where the app will appear, it looks like this is going to be more bundleware like Candy Crush.
Reading between the lines, it appears that Microsoft is paying for, or offered up the opportunity to bundle the app with Windows 10, to get TripAdvisor to build the app for Windows 10. If this is the case, it’s not a great sign if Microsoft has to head down this path to get big name brands to build applications for the OS even with over 200 million installs of the OS.
TripAdvisor doesn’t say when the app will be released but seeing as they are announcing it today, it shouldn’t be long before it shows up in the store or on your next PC.

Windows 10: Home users continue fight for control over updates

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

When it comes to Windows 10, those using Microsoft's latest OS at home are getting a very different system to that used by businesses.
Users of the Home version of Windows 10 can't stop Microsoft gathering data on how they use the OS or delay the steady stream of software updates.
However not all Home users are accepting the status quo. A hard core of Windows users are continuing to push Microsoft to give the Home edition greater control over updates - with a petition on the issue racking up close to 6,000 signatures.
The main complaint of these users is that Windows 10's forced updates can cause machines to crash and, as such, all users need control over how they are applied - without having to resort to hacks.
Susan Bradley, a Microsoft-certified Small Business Server and Security Most Valued Professional, explained why she started the petition.
"We have numerous examples of where firmware and drivers have caused issues. We can't just have control after they update . We need control before they install," she said.
The petition calls on Microsoft to acknowledge that Windows 10 Home users "need the ability to delay or hide damaging updates that impact the computing experience, have undesirable side effects such as blue screens of death, or reduce the functionality to attached devices".
The risk of an update triggering a fatal error in a machine is compounded by Microsoft not providing a detailed outline of what is in updates to non-enterprise customers, she added.
Richard Edwards, principal analyst with Ovum, said most home users don't want to spend time reading about what's in the latest Windows 10 update and manually managing when they're applied.
However, due to the large number of machines running Windows 10, even when an issue only concerns a minority of users it can still affect a large group of people, he said.
"As for keeping systems up-to-date, again I think Microsoft knows best for 99 percent of the user base. However, with 200 million active Windows 10 devices, this does mean that two million users might want more control of the update process," he said. "There is now choice in the market, so if users don't like what they're getting they can switch to something else."
Annette Jump, research director with analyst house Gartner, said there is scope for Microsoft to provide more information and control over updates to home users.
"What is necessary from Microsoft is some explanation about what are the benefits of those updates. Certain updates are quite critical, to address security holes, whereas some of the others could potentially be delayed for a few days or a week."
However, she said she isn't aware that Microsoft is planning to make these adjustments and expressed doubt as to whether there was enough concern over the issue of updates among Home users to force such a change.
In contrast to Home users, those running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise can put off updates using the recently introduced Windows Update for Business feature. The settings allow users to put off new feature releases for up to eight months and security updates for up to four weeks, as well as to temporarily pause upgrades and updates. This is in addition to the delayed upgrade options available to these non-Home editions of Windows 10 under the different servicing branches Microsoft offers.
While Microsoft says that there are more than 200 million devices running Windows 10, third-party stats on usage reflect what has been described as "tepid" growth in the Windows 10 userbase after an initial flurry of new users.

Microsoft details how to block Windows 10 upgrade

Microsoft has published detailed instructions on how to stop your computer from trying to upgrade itself to Windows 10.
The walkthrough will allow IT admins both to opt out of the automatic upgrade to Windows 10 and disable the Get Windows 10 icon from showing on the taskbar.
The guide, published here, details how to install and configure a Group Policy Object to block the upgrade options. The policy settings can be enabled by users running Windows 7, Windows 7 for Embedded Systems, Windows 8.1, and Windows Embedded 8.1 Pro.
The configuration changes reportedly work, although there is always a chance that future changes may re-enable the Get Windows 10 app, which nags users of Windows 7 and 8 to upgrade.
From next year Windows 10 will automatically begin installing on most Windows 7 and 8.1 machines - although the tweaks will also block this upgrade from taking place.
The instructions were published at the same time that Microsoft revealed it would be pushing the Get Windows 10 app to even more PCs. The app will be downloaded to machines that have previously been exempt, including those network setups commonly used by small businesses.
The upgrade nag message will now appear on PCs running Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro, configured to receive updates directly from the Windows Update service or joined to an Active Domain Directory.
The Get Windows 10 app will be rolled out to these additional devices, in the US later this month and in other markets "shortly thereafter".
Microsoft said it has made the changes "because of ongoing customer requests from many small businesses and other small organizations to easily take advantage of the free upgrade".
PCs running Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 8.1 Enterprise, aren't eligible for the free upgrade and will not see the Get Windows 10 app. Those who manage their own updates using onsite tools such as WSUS or System Center Configuration Manager will also not receive the app.
Earlier this year Microsoft announced that more than 200 million devices worldwide were running Windows 10.

Microsoft to end support for Windows 7 and 8 on new PC hardware

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Since Intel released its Skylake-based chips it has stressed how its hardware features complement Windows 10.
Image: Brian Smale
Microsoft is phasing out support for Windows 7 and 8 on new PC hardware.
On Friday, Microsoft announced that computers based on newer chips from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm will need to be running Windows 10 to be guaranteed continued updates.
Machines that require Windows 10 to ensure continued support will be those running on processors based on Intel's Skylake design, released late last year, Intel's Kabylake family, due before 2017, AMD's Bristol Ridge, due this year, and Qualcomm's 8996/Snapdragon 820 architecture.
The move is likely to hit businesses the hardest. Firms are often slower than consumers to move to new operating systems, due to the complexity of managing upgrades at scale and ensuring compatibility with legacy software. For that reason they rely more heavily on the 10 years of support that Microsoft had, until now, provided for each Windows release - regardless of the hardware.
Even with that long-running period of guaranteed updates, when Microsoft dropped support for XP in April 2014, more than three-quarters of businesses in the UK were still running the venerable OS somewhere within their IT estate,according to one survey.

Microsoft's new timetable for support

To offset the effect of these latest changes on businesses, Terry Myerson, VP of Microsoft's Windows and Devices Group, said that it would continue to support Windows 7 and 8 on a selection of Skylake-based machines to give its customers time to "prepare for their Windows 10 upgrade".
Systems from this list of approved devices, which Microsoft will publish this week, will continue to receive support for Windows 7 and 8.1 until July 17, 2017. After July 2017, only the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be released for these devices.
Windows 7 and 8.1 will also continue to be supported when running on older processors than those listed above - Windows 7 until January 14, 2020 and Windows 8.1 until January 10, 2023.
In his post, Myerson said the changes to hardware support were due to the complications of supporting older technology.
"Windows 7 was designed nearly 10 years ago before any x86/x64 SOCs existed.
"For Windows 7 to run on any modern silicon, device drivers and firmware need to emulate Windows 7's expectations for interrupt processing, bus support, and power states- which is challenging for WiFi, graphics, security, and more. As partners make customizations to legacy device drivers, services, and firmware settings, customers are likely to see regressions with Windows 7 ongoing servicing."
From the end of October 2016, PC makers will also have to sell new machines with Windows 10, rather than Windows 7 or 8.1. After that point businesses that want to run older Windows versions on new machines will have to rely on downgrade rights or software assurance rights under volume license agreements.
Microsoft has faced criticism for adopting aggressive tactics in pursuit of its goal to get Windows 10 onto one billion devices by 2018.
Most recently there was a backlash against Microsoft's plans to automatically begin upgrading most Windows 7 and 8.1 machines to Windows 10. The corporation also recently revealed that it would be pushing Get Windows 10 nag messages to a broader range of Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs, including network setups commonly used by small businesses.
User numbers for Windows 10 are growing and earlier this year Microsoftannounced that more than 200 million devices worldwide were running Windows 10. Among businesses, Myerson said that more than 76 percent of enterprise customers were in "active pilots" and there were more than 22 million devices running Windows 10 across enterprise and education customers.


Rescue an ailing system: Launch Windows 10 Startup Repair from the Recovery Drive

If you have been using Windows throughout its various versions, chances are you know from firsthand experience that startup problems with previous version of the Windows operating system occurred pretty regularly. Fortunately, Microsoft has always provided us with special tools for fixing those problems. For example, in Windows NT we had the Emergency Recovery Utility, in Windows 2000 we had the Recovery Console, in Windows XP we had System Restore, in Windows 7 we had the Startup Repair Tool, and in Windows 8 we had Startup Repair.
Windows 10 comes with a similar tool, also called Startup Repair. Like its predecessors, Startup Repair is designed to intercede at the first hint of an operating system startup problem. When a problem is detected, Startup Repair will launch an automated, diagnostics-based troubleshooter that doesn't require user intervention, and in many cases it will resuscitate an unbootable system.
If the startup problem is severe enough to prevent Startup Repair from launching on its own, you can launch it from the Windows 10 Recovery Drive. In this article, I'll take a look at using Startup Repair from the Recovery Drive. As I do, I'll explain how it works.
Note: In a series of future articles, I'll continue my examination of the tools on the Recovery Drive and show you in detail how each tool works.

Running Startup Repair

Running Startup Repair from the Recovery Drive is easy. After your system boots from the Recovery Drive and you follow the Troubleshoot>Advanced options path through the menu, you'll see the Advanced Options screen shown in Figure A. One the tools found on this screen is Startup Repair.

Figure A

Figure A
The Startup Repair tool is located in the bottom left of the Advanced Options screen.
When you select the Startup Repair option, you'll see the screen shown inFigure B.

Figure B

Figure B
Your first line of defense when it comes to recovering a Windows 10 system that won't start properly is the Startup Repair tool.
Once you launch it, Startup Repair will begin diagnosing the startup problem, displaying the screen shown in Figure C.

Figure C

Figure C
In the first step of its operation, Startup Repair will diagnose the problem.
During this diagnostic phase, Startup Repair will scan your system and analyze the various settings, configuration options, and system files as it looks for corrupt files or botched configuration settings. More specifically, Startup Repair will look for the following problems:
  • Missing/corrupt/incompatible drivers
  • Missing/corrupt system files
  • Missing/corrupt boot configuration settings
  • Corrupt registry settings
  • Corrupt disk metadata (master boot record, partition table, or boot sector)
  • Problematic update installation
If Startup Repair detects any of these types of problems, it will automatically attempt to fix them, as shown in Figure D.

Figure D

Figure D
Once Startup Repair has diagnosed your startup problem, it will attempt to repair it.
If Startup Repair can fix the problem, it will do so without any intervention. It will then restart the system and boot normally.

Severe problems

If Startup Repair can't fix the startup problem, you'll see a screen like the one shown in Figure E. In this situation, Startup Repair will create a log file with more information and provide you with a way to go back to the Advanced Options screen, where you can select one of the other recovery options.

Figure E

Figure E
If Startup Repair can't repair your system, it will display this screen.
Before you use one of the other recovery options, you should investigate the log file and see what details it provides. The Recovery Drive contains Notepad, so you can use it to view the log file. To begin, take note of the path and filename of the log file. Then click the Advanced Options button. When you return to the Advanced Options screen, navigate to the Command Prompt tool.
When the Command Prompt window appears, type the drive letter to change drives. In my example, the log file is on drive C. Next, use the CD command to access the folder containing the log file. Finally, type the name of Notepad's executable file, along the name of the log file as a parameter.
This is the set of commands you would use to access the log file as shown inFigure F:
c:

cd \Windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt

notepad.exe SrtTrail.txt

Figure F

Figure F
From the Command Prompt, you can launch Notepad and open the log file.
When Notepad appears, you'll see the contents of the SrtTrail.txt log file similar to the one shown in Figure G. If you scroll to the bottom of the file, you will probably find a test that failed, which could be a good lead for further investigation.

Figure G

Figure G
The SrtTrail log file contains information you can use for further troubleshooting.
If you booted the system from a USB flash drive, you can save the file from Notepad to the flash drive, remove the flash drive, take it to another PC, and print it. You now have a printed copy of the log file you can use as an aid to further troubleshooting. After you print the log file, be sure to return the flash drive to the ailing computer.
If you booted the system from an optical disc, you won't be able to print the file, but you can scroll through it and take note of any details you think are crucial.

What's your take?

Using the Startup Repair tool from the Recovery Drive can help you get an ailing Windows 10 system back to a bootable state. If Recovery Drive can't fix the problem, you can use the log file as an aid for further investigation. Have you used Windows 10's Startup Repair option? If so, did it get your system back into a bootable state? Share your thoughts in the discussion thread below.

Microsoft makes it easier for small businesses to upgrade to Windows 10

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

As we are already aware Microsoft has been pushing the Windows 10 very aggressively, it wants to create a tightly knit Windows 10 ecosystem and bring more devices on the board. As of now a whopping 200 million devices have been running Windows 10 globally and the volume of success can be attributed to the fact that Microsoft offered the Windows 10 as a completely free upgrade from the previous versions.
Windows_10_UpgradeWindows_10_Upgrade

Upgrade to Windows 10

Microsoft has now focused on how to make the Small businesses upgrade to Windows 10 easily and make the shift with minimum resources. Just like how the consumers are upgrading to Windows 10 from an easy to use interface from the system tray now even the Business users will be able to do so.
Says Microsoft:
In an effort to streamline the process, we will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation. Before the upgrade changes the OS of your device, you will be clearly prompted to choose whether or not to continue. And of course, if you choose to upgrade, then you will have 31 days to roll back to your previous Windows version if you don’t love it.
The “Get Windows 10” app will be rolled out to the devices in the US which meet a certain preset criteria’s. The Get Windows 10 app will be rolled out next month and this will help the small businesses to upgrade with just a click of the button. The machine in question must be running a licensed version of Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro and it should further be configured to receive updates directly from the Windows Update service (updates should not be managed by WSUS or System Center Configuration Manager). The machine should also be connected to an Active Directory Domain.
Microsoft will  will soon be publishing Windows 10 as an Optional Update in Windows Update for all Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 customers. Early next year, they will be re-categorizing Windows 10 as a Recommended Update.
These changes are expected to address the needs of the organizations which could take advantage of the free upgrade.
Microsoft has also documented a procedure that will allow you to block Windows 10 upgrade in Windows 8.1/7 using Group Policy or Registry.

Windows 10 Build 11099 Now Available To Insiders

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

110199
Microsoft has released a new build of Windows 10 today, version 11099, and you can download it now if you are participating in the Fast ring of the insider program. This build is the first to be released that meets the new criteria for being released, meaning it is much closer to what the company is using internally and may have more bugs.
As expected, this build does not contain big noticeable changes or features as the company has been focusing on improvements to OneCore. But, with that being said, Aul notes that this process is nearing completion and teams will soon be able to begin checking in new features.
Of course, improvements to OneCore could be argued as a big improvement to the operating system as this part of the OS is critical to maintaining stability and future feature improvements.
Below are the known issues with this release:
  • Log on for devices using Citrix XenDesktop may be broken. It is recommended that Insiders that use XenDesktop skip this flight by moving to the Slow ring.
  • Applications that depend on Adobe Flash may crash upon launch. This will affect some version of Skype, QQ, WeChat, etc. This does not affect Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.
  • With this build, defaults for some applications will be reset. Music & Video will default to Windows Media Player. This can be reconfigured opening Cortana or Search and searching for “Choose default apps by file type” to open the correct settings page.
If you are using a test machine, I don’t recommend installing these builds on a production machine, you can download the new build now. As always, let us know in the comments below if you run into any issues with this release.

Microsoft Finds Another Way to Force Windows 10 Upgrade on Businesses

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Microsoft Finds Another Way to Force Windows 10 Upgrade on Businesses
As part of an announcement about Windows 10’s support for new hardware,Microsoft revealed some not-so-subtle changes to how it will support Windows 7 and 8.1 going forward. Long story short, it is using hardware support as yet another means of forcing customers to upgrade to Windows 10 faster than they might otherwise wish to.
As I’ve noted many times in the past, this behavior is mostly hard to justify, and is a far more serious issue, than the non-existent Windows 10 privacy issues that others carp about. For both consumers and now, increasingly, business users, Microsoft is making Windows 10 an offer you can’t refuse.
So what is Microsoft doing this week? No less than altering how it supports Windows 7 and 8.1 going forward, mid-stream, so that it can force more businesses to upgrade to Windows 10.
How are they doing that, you ask?
“Compared to Windows 7 PC’s, [Intels’ latest generation processor, chipset,] Skylake when combined with Windows 10, enables up to 30x better graphics and 3x the battery life – with the unmatched security of Credential Guard utilizing silicon supported virtualization,” Microsoft explains.
Which is fine: That’s a perfectly fine selling point for Windows 10.
But then we get to this.
“Windows 7 was designed nearly 10 years ago [and] before any x86/x64 SOCs existed,” the explanation continues. “For Windows 7 to run on any modern silicon, device drivers and firmware need to emulate Windows 7’s expectations for interrupt processing, bus support, and power states- which is challenging for WiFi [sic], graphics, security, and more. As partners make customizations to legacy device drivers, services, and firmware settings, customers are likely to see regressions with Windows 7 ongoing servicing.”
So Microsoft is altering its support policy, not just for one or two Windows versions, but for Windows in general. And I am reasonably sure this has never happened before.
Here are the changes Microsoft is announcing.
Going forward, new hardware generations will require the latest version of Windows. “As new silicon generations are introduced, they will require the latest Windows platform at that time for support,” Microsoft says. “This enables us to focus on deep integration between Windows and the silicon, while maintaining maximum reliability and compatibility with previous generations of platform and silicon. For example, Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform on Intel’s upcoming “Kaby Lake” silicon, Qualcomm’s upcoming “8996” silicon, and AMD’s upcoming “Bristol Ridge” silicon.
Only devices on the Skylake support list will be supported on Windows 7 and 8.1. And even then only through July 17, 2017. “During this new 18-month support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends,” Microsoft says. “After July 2017, the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be addressed for these configurations, and will be released if the update does not risk the reliability or compatibility of the Windows 7/8.1 platform on other devices.”
But here’s what this means in the real world: Microsoft is not actually supporting Skylake generation hardware for Windows 7 and 8.1 at all. And that’s because there isn’t a business on earth that would go to the trouble of deploying on Skylake hardware now only to have to upgrade to Windows 10 in the near future. The net result is that only Windows 10 is reallysupported on Skylake, e.g. on new hardware.
Put another way, this isn’t Microsoft building Windows 7/8.1 “support” for Skylake. This is Microsoft building a guaranteed upgrade for Windows 10. In other words, this is more of the same: Microsoft pushing customers to Windows 10 by any means necessary.

Windows 10 Tip: Just Say No to “Get Windows 10” on Windows 7/8.1

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

Windows 10 Tip: Just Say No to "Get Windows 10" on Windows 7/8.1
Windows 10 is the most modern and full-featured version of Windows yet. But Microsoft’s overly-aggressive tactics in coercing customers to upgrade are a mistake I believe. So here’s how the Windows 7 or 8.1 user can “just say no” and get rid of that annoying “Get Windows 10” advertisement for good.
Well. Hopefully for good. The issues here are many, and nuanced, but they boil down to this: Previous attempts at removing “Get Windows 10” have been thwarted by subsequent Windows Updates that bypass known workarounds as they come up. So in this case, we just have to hope that the people doing God’s work here can keep up with Microsoft’s attempts to undermine them.
So. Before we proceed, let me set a bit of context.
I love Windows 10. I believe that most people reading this will benefit from the many advances in this version of Windows, that the improvements Microsoft made benefit both desktop- and mobile/touch-focused users equally, and that the compatibility issues that often dog Windows upgrades are largely not present in Windows 10. Long story short, I think Windows 10 is great.
But I also believe that Microsoft is pushing Windows 10 a bit too aggressively, and while it is doing so unashamedly and for its own good reasons, I don’t understand why the “Get Windows 10” advertisement doesn’t include “Don’t ever bother me with this again” or “Don’t bother me for xx days/weeks/months” options.
Put even more succinctly, I’m here for you, not Microsoft. The greater good isn’t generally what’s good for Microsoft, though these things do sometimes intersect, it’s what’s good for Microsoft’s users. And in this case, Microsoft’s interests are getting in the way of what I think is best for the people who use Microsoft’s products. Not all of them. But some of them. The people using Windows 7 or 8.1 who, for whatever reason—and there are good reasons—simply want to eke out as much value from that investment as they can. They just want to be left alone.
On that note, people have been trying to figure out ways to destroy “Get Windows 10” since this insidious system tray-based advertisement has appeared. I’ve avoided writing about these things for the most part because all of the methods to date—keeping track of and then hiding or uninstalling certain Windows Updates, frigging with the registry, or whatever—have all been temporary. A new Patch Tuesday comes around and, wham, you get that freaking “Get Windows 10” advertisement again.
So here’s one method that seems to have staying power. Yes, Microsoft could subvert this solution as it has in the past, but I have much more hope in an application that can be easily distributed only and updated as needed than I do in complicated blog post explanations that have to be updated every time Microsoft changes something, forcing the users who want to do this to re-research the same topic again and again.
Let’s stop the madness.
Thanks to a free third-party application called GWX Control Panel, you can shut down “Get Windows 10.” It’s been around since last August, and it’s been updated regularly to address Microsoft’s changes, and that’s why I’m recommending it now.
As noted by the app’s authors, GWX Control Panel does the following:
Removes “Get Windows 10” from your notification area. No more nagging.
gwx alert small
Restores Windows Update so that it stops advertising the Windows 10 upgrade. No more hijacking of this most crucial system tool.
Windows Update impending upgrade
Prevents the Windows 10 upgrade from automatically downloading in the background. Saving bandwidth and sanity.
Upgrade to Windows 10 is ready cropped
If you want to remove “Get Windows 10” from your Windows 7 or 8.1 PC please download GWX Control Panel now. You needthis. And, seriously, considering donating to the app authors. We need to support those people who do the right thing.
And, Microsoft. I get where you’re coming from, I really do. But you need to give users a way to opt out of this, if only for set time periods. It’s just too much.

Microsoft Has Released A New Build Of Windows 10, 11102

NOTE: If you want to use the permanently activation of windows 10 with lower price ,welcome to my store :http://www.mskeyoffer.com/

travel-log-edge j hero
Microsoft has announced that a new build of Windows is available to Insiders, version 11102. This release, like the last one that was shipped, is for those who are in the ‘Fast’ ring.
In this release, there is one new feature, a history menu for Edge, as seen above. Aside from that, there is nothing else new in this version. But, if you are a gamer, you need to pay attention to the bugs in this build as they may impact the performance and operation of the game.
The known issues for this build are listed below:
  • Some PC games will crash switching from windowed mode to full screen, upon game resolution change, or upon launch due to a bug in Windows graphics stack. We have observed this with The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, and Metal Gear Solid V but it may occur with other titles as well.
  • With this build (and with the last build), applications such as Narrator, Magnifier, and third-party assistive technologies may experience intermittent issues or crashes. If you rely on screen readers or other software, you should not use this build. This issue will be fixed with the next build.
  • You might see a WSClient.dll error dialog after logging in. We’re working on a fix for this but as a workaround, you can run the following in Command Prompt with administrative rights: schtasks /delete /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\WS\WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask” /F
