Yes, and I appreciated it! The first thing I do with any new OS is find all the junk I can disable or outright delete from it. Sometimes its a few days before I even start using it. Things like Cortana and tiled screens and weird animations would be the first to go. Cutting running processes (help processes error reporting, etc), swapping out icons, deleting unnecessary fonts, making folders work XP style with scripts, etc. Ideally, I make it have the look and feel of Windows 95/98 as much as possible. Don't forget to turn off all automatic updates to manual or with permission.
Yeh well, Aaron, my Quaker computer god, is in Germany visiting one of his two girlfriends (the other is in NYC, where he lives, I think). When he gets back he and I will have a nice remote session and he will help clean everything out more efficiently than I can. I can hardly wait.
And btw with Win 10, unless you have Win 10 Professional, which is more expensive, you cannot turn off updates, they are automatic. Another problematic thiing. There have been a few Win 10 updates, most recently #1803, that broke a lot of software and machines and they had to put out another overriding it till they fixed it. It blew out most of the neurofeedback systems using Win 10 and sabotaged many people's professional businesses! Fortunately I use that system personally and for a very few select people in person, I don't do that daily for a living (thank goodness!).
