Windows Ultimate: Now with more ads, bloatware, and spyware

TBH I don't even know why people say Windows 10 is bad anymore... tbh, it works like a charm for me, not unlike Windows 7 either.

I like Windows 10, I think people are just afraid of change. There are things I don't like about it though, for example they really need to have settings in one place, not scatter them across the Control Panel and Settings app. It always takes me longer to find the setting I want because I don't know where to look.

"I hate 'insert current windows name here'!" Is such a lazy meme anymore... There's nothing wrong with 10.

I don't see how the analysis on security and backdoors some fake NSA employee performs or the grudges some fake sour Microsoft employee vents may have more value for me than my own experience with the system?

I actually kinda like W10 after using it for a while, but it just feels like they do so much shit without your permission and constantly downloads shit I don't want from the microsoft store. I'm probably just doing something wrong but it's getting on my nerves.

Huh, it never downloaded anything from the store I didn't ask it to. Did have to remove that "get office 365" app that was pre-installed though as it was essentially adware. Thankfully it's easy to remove.

@Dionicio3 What's Windows LSTC though? And also, what makes you think that Microsoft won't clean up their act as to Windows 10 and their subtle spyware and adware programs?

"and Windows doesn't download any of the dumb shit like Candy Crush anymore." I reinstalled windows just recently and somehow still have candy crush on my system

Still, time will tell as to how the next Windows will perform in terms of adware, spyware, and customization prowess. I 'd like Windows 11 or whatever it'll be called to be able to choose between the new Windows start interface and the pop-up programs menu that lasted until Win7

@kikongokiller I mean it doesn't install it with updates
@Megadriver94 Microsoft already said Windows 11 won't happen, Windows 10 will just become "Windows." As for the ad/spyware, it really doesn't exist more than any other service you use. The new start menu isn't terrible either, and you can always use 3rd Party Software to fix it

It's supposed to be a shell for Windows Core OS, aka, not regular Windows
