Clear your DNS Cache and Browser Cache then Reboot:

 

Was out with the dog. Come back and downloaded the file.

 

I see you like to draw cartoons with FastStone Capture now!

 

I should have used O&O

I used WPD with Windows update blocker enabled (checked) and i still received an message to reboot my Windows to complete installing an update.

So i made a recovery point in hope the update will not kill my Windows.

 

I can't see that Windows can update your machine if you have killed Win update in services (exactly what Windows update blocker does). WUB is also used by other tools as well. The well known Sledgehammer tool rely on WUB.

See also the other tool.

Hello, new to all of this. I have just finished reading this thread. Just got a new Dell Inspiron (5585) computer about a month ago. I have not done anything to it thus far except to add Brave browser, a year subscription to Mcafee (installed just yesterday by a Mcafee employee via remote computer (I did not have the knowledge or skill to do it myself), and just now, I installed O and O Shutup10. I think I installed it correctly and did the "apply only recommended settings". I then did a restart of the computer. Do I need to do anything else?

I will slowly, over the next few months, make a few further changes. I am hoping that this app/mod will do most of what I want done. From reading on here, I know that it is not near what most of you folks think should be modded/changed, but, I have to be careful, since my wife uses this computer and is very particular to what I can do to it. Any quick suggestions for a newbie to look at next?

I will continue to read the tweaks and tips section. But, I doubt that I can do the "clean Installation". Thanks again for all the work and effort and time you people put into these tutorials, suggestions, mods, etc.

 

You should be in pretty good shape. Much better than before you started.

 

Remember open up O&O Shutup10 a second time after reboot. Sometimes at least one settings will reverse back to default. At least was this the behaviour before. Do the same inspection also after every time the OS is patched (after Patch Tuesday). Open up and check that the settings is set correct.

 

I don't remember what was ticked or not, so I did open it up and redid the apply only recommended changes, so I assume that is fine and will make it last?
