Get Microsoft to just stop.

Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

    I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don’t have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.

    https://atlasos.net/

    Also here’s another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

    I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.

      I had high hopes for Atlas for gaming.

      I formatted and started a fresh install. My main games (League Of Legends, Escape from Tarkov) would not install, with various errors. Then I ran into system errors with permissions.

      Also came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctONKQByx-M

      Back to Win10 Pro + debloat script.

          Sorry, it was nearly a year ago, I don’t remember the exact details. I’m an experienced IT specialist and they were not common issues I could easily debug and resolve myself. All I remember is I followed some tutorials to address some errors, which ended up creating other errors. I gave up after a couple consecutive evenings of troubleshooting.
