Fix Windows 10 Network Browsing

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

It was time for a new desktop PC. My newest PC was put together 3 years ago out of parts that were basically 2 years old then. I haven’t had a top of the line PC since my CUSL2 system around 2000-2001. So, I decided to treat myself this time out.

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:
