Windows 10 Privacy Issues

By

thEvery sane person worries about privacy issues online. IMHO, Win10 causes legitimate privacy concerns. However, there is the “tinfoil hat brigade” that IMHO takes things way too far. I haven’t wanted to jump the gun on addressing these issues. This sites first rule of tweaking has always been “Primum non nocere” (first, do no harm).

Summary
This update includes non–security-related changes to enhance the functionality of Windows 10 through new features and improvements.
Windows 10 updates are cumulative. Therefore, this package contains all previously-released fixes (see KB 3074683). If you have installed previous updates, only the new fixes that are contained in this package will be downloaded and installed to your computer.

I counted over 3,900 files in this package.
To manually run Windows update in Win10:
Go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.

Fix Windows 10 0x80300024 Error

By

thOn attempting to clean install Win10 on a laptop I got lazy and I failed to follow my own advice.
I usually disconnect all drives except the one I’m going to install the OS on and run diskpart to wipe. I didn’t this time because I was too lazy and didn’t feel like spending the time to disconnect my second SSD. I got the error 0x80300024 during install. I Googled it and apparently this error has been happening for years. The fix?
Disconnect all other drives and attempt the install again. That’s it!
