Takes a lot of the guess work out and you can easily undo changes you made by re-running the exe.

Cheers,That looks interesting. Thanks.

1423298 2016-07-20 06:55:00 Depends how easily you get upset by these things. After a while, I just 'got over it' and left most as they were!

Being an Insider, if I worried about it, I would be jumping through hoops every couple of days ATM.

Just don't think anything bad is going to descend on me but you may think differently.

Sounds like you are having a good experience with win 10, though, so now you only have to weather another download after 2 Aug!

Cheers.I am actually enjoying Win10, and coming from an old-timer I guess that says something. I had a fresh install done when I had to replace my HDD.

Now busy putting back Programs, and leaving out a lot of rubbish I really don't need.

1423299 2016-07-20 09:58:00 I just noticed that disk optimisation (defragging) is enabled in Win10 as I think it was for Win8x which is not good for SSD drives. Best to go into Drive Tools and turn it off for the SSD disk. tommy (2826)
1423300 2016-07-20 18:12:00 No its smart enough to know if you have an ssd and it won't try to defrag it. apsattv (7406)

It won't even let me defrag my SSD anyway.

1423302 2016-07-20 22:14:00 Nothing that I have a problem with, other than update delivery - just change that to local only. Hi wratterus, can I just check that I have done this correctly. Settings>Update and Security>Windows Update>Advanced Options>Choose how updates are delivered>select on for "when this is turned on........." and then select PC's on my local network. thanks bellbird (6169)
1423303 2016-07-20 22:15:00 Or select whatever option in Samsung Magician if you've got a Samsung SSD. That'll disable it. I also disabled hibernation as well.

Some sites say thats not good for SSD's either

Bang on.

1423305 2016-07-21 00:26:00 Can you explain the reason for doing this please.?

Basically if update delivery is fully on, potentially your PC could act as a P2P node and upload update data to other PCs. Perfectly safe, but not something most people would want.

1423306 2016-07-21 01:50:00 wratterus, When I had a look at mine, it is turned off, and greyed out, so I can't even switch it on. Perhaps the tech did this when I had an upgrade, but I thought that there would be some way

of turning it on again.? Any thoughts on this.?
