Tweaking Windows 10 Updated

June 5, 2018, 07:27(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

th

It’s been a year since I’ve updated Tweaking Windows 10 and Windows 10 Privacy Settings.
In my humble opinion, not all that much has changed. At least, not for the way I use a PC. Screens look different, a few more options here and there…
For the Windows 10 Privacy Settings there were few significant changes. For the Tweak Guide, 9 of 21 web pages had changes, again nothing earth shattering. (FYI, pages 9, 10, 12-17, 19)
One thing I refused to put in the Tweak Guide at this point was anything related to Game Mode. I’ve yet to see any reliable benchmarks on this and in my own limited benchmarks I’ve seen no change at all.

If you have purchased a Win10 Tweak Guide and are due an upgrade, please forward your receipt to me.

I’m going to show you how to use the powercfg command to find out info on your power plan.
I did this pretty quick. Let me know if I missed something.

Windows 10 Game Mode And Ultimate Performance Power Plan

May 8, 2018, 08:07(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

In prep for the upcoming revision of the Win10 Tweak Guide I have some thoughts about Game Mode and the Ultimate Performance Power Plan.
Lemme give you my conclusion right out of the box. IMHO, for performance Game Mode and the Ultimate Performance Power Plan are pure snake oil.

Fix Windows 10 Network Browsing

December 30, 2017, 12:54(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

After my latest computer build, parts swapping in/out old computers, and making a new/old home server I noticed network browsing was FUBAR. I double-checked everything I could think of. Everything worked last time I checked. I did some Googling and finally came up with the answer.
Fall Creators Update broke network browsing. Surprise, surprise:

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:

No Update For The Win10 Tweak Guide

October 18, 2017, 15:10(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Unless I have missed something I see no need to update the Tweak Guide for the Fall Creators Update.
However, the Windows 10 Privacy Settings companion for the Tweak Guide is another story. I hope to have it done by the end of next week.
