My O&O Shutup10 Settings
IMHO the Win10 Fall Creators Update was/is a giant waste of time and effort. It delivered nothing useful for the end user and caused headaches for many. FCU could have been delivered as a standard roll-up instead of a full system reset. There will be no changes to the Tweaking Windows 10. There is only one change to Windows 10 Privacy Settings and that is the screenshot to my O&O Shutup10 settings:

Upgrading To Windows 11 Beta
Several days ago I said “Not interested” to the pre-Alpha Windows 11. It has now moved to the Beta channel which hopefully means its is at least Alpha grade and I was a little bored so I installed it.
I had to jump through some hoops…

Win10 May 21H1 Is Out
The Windows 10 May 2021 Update is “available”. It is showing up on Windows Update for some but not for me.
I ran the Windows 10 Update Assistant here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
It took about 20 minutes. All I’ve done so far is run O&O Shutup10 to undo the changes the update made.
From the Windows Blog: How to get the Windows 10 May 2021 Update
Bleeping Computer has a good article on the changes: Windows 10 is gaining these nifty enhancements in the next update
Win10 1903, Are You Ready?
Windows 10 May 2019 Update
Win10 1903 brings several changes, most of which the average user won’t care about. Two changes of note are supposed increased performance and improved control of Windows Update. The best breakdown I’ve seen to date is:
Neowin – The Windows 10 May 2019 Update is coming – here’s what’s new
Release Date
– “Official” date unknown at this time. “End of May” often quoted. Expect it somewhere between tomorrow and hell freezing over.
– ISOs are floating around now
Blocking 1903
– Easy way: Use O&O ShutUp10
See also: Windows Update section of the Tweak Guide.
(1903 will bring major changes to this.)
Preparing for 1903
– Update all your apps and drivers.
– Backup everything. Make a system image. I use the free Macrium Reflect. This is also a good time to backup everything else.
See also: Windows 10 Backup And Recovery Options
My Recommendation
– Put off installing 1903 at least one month.
– Better safe than sorry. Microsoft will, at some point, state that 1903 is “safe for business”. The October 2018 Update was declared safe on March 28th, 2019.
Tweaking Windows 10
It will be at least a month after release before the Win10 Tweak Guide is updated.
What To Do After Installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
1 – Run Windows Update (Yes, there are updates already.)
reboot
2 – Run O&O ShutUp10 (There are a few new sections.)
See this page of Windows 10 Privacy Settings for more info.
reboot
3 – Run Windows 10 Advanced Disk Cleanup
reboot
4 – Run other disk cleanup utilities. I use CCleaner portable & Wise Disk Cleaner portable.
See this page of the Win10 Tweak Guide for more info.
reboot
5 – Make a system image.
Done!
