Don't forget that you need to update Windows every year otherwise they stop patching you. These fan projects are great until the reality of all the manual labour sets in. I do not want shutup10, I want a final (for the few years ) solution. This project claims that vast majority of vulnerabilities can be mitigated by removing admin rights from the user account. I did not evaluate this claim thoroughly but I like other benefits of this project plus my usage style exposes very small attack surface so I do not see a problem with absence of patches.

I admire your faith in Microsoft's ability to write secure code  |

| Hey! I liked 2004- 20H2 despite being just an 'enablement package' a la 1903-1909 works better than 2004 in my experience. But hey, I'm running extremely limited hardware. |

| The latest Power Toys looks like a redeeming grace. Open source is the way to go. |

| I love the feature where Win10 bluescreens when I use a USB-serial adapter. The idea that a serial driver can tank the OS is ludicrous..

| That's a feature, it's to let you know it's time to upgrade.
In all seriousness though, it could be caused by an electrical short, I'd check that. |

Have you used the new Microsoft terminal
App? That one looks cool |

| It's reproducible across several adapters with the same chipset. Might be a buffer overflow in the driver code or something, because it blue screens when a large amount of serial data is being pushed from the device to the comuter (displaying a router/switch config, etc. )
I took the hint and upgraded. To a ~2008 Latitude E-series laptop with Ubuntu. Serial adapter has worked great ever since  |

| I've just tried this simple script to debloat Win10. Seems pretty useful.

Oh, no, the script broke my VirtualBox set up with BSOD! I had to revert to the restore point. |
