> Patch Lady – now we’re talkin’ 1809 transparency

Oh, nice! Window and border transparency are back?oh, c**p…

I wrote and use this script that should always work.

If by any chance it doesn’t, PM me and I’ll fix it.

So, if the main vector for this vulnerability is the XPS printer… well, remove it right away.

The manual approach to disable telemetry and user-tracking on Windows 10 is way too naive. These are some the best applications that you can use, from worst to best: O&O ShutUp, WPD (Windows Privacy Dashboard), W10Privacy and Blackbird.

But scripts are needed too, like Debloat Windows 10 and others.

That was fast. Taking into account that v.1803 was published the last day of april.

This should prove that the Microsoft’s ideology isn’t very much into that private-betatesting thing.

Here are some:

• MultiCommander (File manager)
• Windows Privacy Dashboard or WPD (General and specific privacy settings for Windows 10)
• CompactGUI (GUI for the compact.exe internal command)
• SpaceSniffer (Visual representation of folders regarding their size). Others are WizTree and Xinorbis Free.
• jaBuT (Files/folders sincronization tool)
• Smplayer (Media player). Others are 1by1, Foobar2000, Mxplay and the very interesting Resonic.
• Privazer (Wide system cleaning tool)
• Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 (Many tweaks and optimizations for Windows 10)
• PeaZip (File archiver)
• CintaNotes (Note-taking application)
• Notepad++ (Text file editor). Others are CudaText, Atom and Bowpad.
• SumatraPDF (Light and customizable PDF viewer)
• All the tools from the exceptional Nir Sofer.

Windows 10 is the best ally GNU/Linux could have. A lot of people are switching to Mac, true, but as more video games get ported or tools like Wine add compatibility layers, more users are arriving to Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora…

All thanks to Windows 10 and its features getting better.

Since v.1703 I lost the ability to connect/browse/direct access to any folder or file between any computer beyond v.1607.

Solution? After lots of hours lost to trial and error (no, not going to reinstall Windows and not learn anything, thankyouverymuch) I resorted to LANDC++ client because it doesn’t hash files.

2018. True story.

That’s a very exhaustive, documented and statistically relevant tested process.

BTW, CCleaner -as do most of the registry cleaning tools- offers a backup of the affected registry keys before deleting anything.

“Malwarebytes claimed that the two subsequent Ccleaner releases would fully remove the malware.”

You mean Avast.

Anyway, Malwarebytes Antimalware didn’t do anything against floxif for me, as I painfully realized. Only Antirootkit would react to it, but it didn’t fix it from starting after reboot. And this happened towards the end of last year.

That reminded me of virut, lots of corrupted files. Very agressive and viral stuff.

You gotta love Powershell. On %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe it spits this:

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041013,Get-NetConnectionProfile

 

Now I’m just wondering: won’t EmptyStandbyList cause problems with the behaviour of SuperFetch (if enabled)? Won’t both fight for the memory: one emptying and the other caching programs?

This got resolved (unofficially) by running EmptyStandbyList every 5 min. through a scheduled task. I have around a .bat file to do it automatically if someone needs it.

I use this script that should always work.

If by any chance it doesn’t, PM me and I’ll fix it.

Anyhow, I can’t stand this kind of c***. That’s why I go through all scheduled tasks and services after every main update. Specially when there are random named suffixes.
