Win10 CU – Get Your Control Panel Icons Back

April 23, 2017, 08:42(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

thpinpostlogo

With the Windows 10 Creators Update some genius at Microsoft thought it would be fun to remove your Control Panel icons. I have seen several articles showing unnecessarily complicated steps to get them back. Use this program, edit the registry, etc.
It is very easy to get these icons back:

Testing Tweaks, Some Interesting Benchmarks

I decided to go ahead with a Game Only tweak guide. This will be a down and dirty, operating system only, advanced users only , and probably NSFW guide.
In prep I spent several days setting up, benchmarking, and tweaking.
I thought I would tease you with some benchmarks.

Delaying Windows 10 Updates

October 23, 2016, 10:46(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Some version of this will be part of the upcoming new version of the Win10 Tweak Guide. This article is as much to keep my thoughts straight as it is for your info.

The Things I Do For This Site

September 24, 2016, 16:21(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

th

Like many others, my main rig STILL had freezing issues after AnniUpdate. Obviously, Microsoft wasn’t going to fix it. I tried every workaround, every fix, everything I could think of. Tinker around, doesn’t work, restore image, update again, try more stuff, restore image, update again, on and on…
I know many of you are waiting for an update to the Win10 Tweak Guide and I figured I put off enough.
So…
This morning I did a full reset and reinstalled everything. *edit* – I should have been clear. This “fixed” my problem.
When it comes to Win10 I don’t “need” to use it. From a personal standpoint I don’t care if I use it. I use it because I support lots of Windows users. I’m perfectly happy with Windows 7 and my Linux Virtual Machines. In truth I can probably do everything I do in Linux. Come Windows 7’s EOL that will most likely be the case (if not sooner).
Anywho, I’ll be working on the tweak guide this week.

New Poll Up

August 7, 2016, 13:26(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

thpinpostlogo

thpinpostlogoI’ve got a new poll up in the right sidebar.
“What is your opinion of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update?”
Please vote.
I stopped using polls because either they don’t support WordPress caching, or caching doesn’t support the widget, or something like that.
Anyhow we will see how it goes. It is more important to me that the site is fast for you than to have the polls.
