CCleaner is a great program IMO. It's a Piriform product. Yep, I use all that plus superantispyware to fish out "embedded" cookies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is Win 10 sux overall and I don't think I can be convinced otherwise... Agreed. It's like Christianity, Islam and the atheists in a minority.

The 10 version has plenty of good tools. PC Transfer, for example let's you copy all your items on your desktop to another drive. In case of a fresh install, you can get all back as it was before. The System Information gives you all needed info about all your programs, your OS, your memory, etc..

I've got it for free and there's no reason to say no, don't you agree? It does many tasks and even kids can use it. If something's wrong the face on the icon shows a sad face. One click and you can me it happy, choose that the OPC shuts down right after the cleanup and it alright. I know that you're against Windows and you're trying all to make it look really bad, but here's something you might not know about the 1703 upgrade.Please have a look at the new troubleshooting page. It starts with "Get up and running printer, Bluetooth connection, Internet Connection, Playing Audio, and Update to Find and Fix a problem Blue Screen ( was a huge problem with the last big update), Bluetooth, Hardware and Devices, Homegroup, Incoming Connections, Keyboard Problems, Power, Program Compatibility Troubleshooter, Recording Audio, Search and Indexing, Shared Folders, Speech ( adjustable for NNES people) Video Playback and Windows Store Application Troubleshooting. Why can't you just agree with people who want to use more features that your system has to offer, especially when it's free. Can we just live in peace and I agree with you that your sytem is the wotld's best one, but W 10 with the 1703 might be almost as good as yours, or maybe even much better? All I want is to live in peace and I'm okay whatever other people are running on their PC's. Why would you buy an expensive PC just to use some basic stuff your system has to offer? Just because of an Antivirus system that might be needed? It's okay when people are against pollution, but if they''re also throwing their trash away and don't recycle anything, it doesn't make any sense. And guess what? It's all on only one page. If that's not a win win situation, then I'm willing to eat my shoe. Edited April 18, 2017 by ajarngreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that was MS's purpose, when selling their OS. You HAVE to become conversant in order to use the things.... all the things you are doing is falling for the hype - you need this you need that, when any of my friends have problems and ask me to look at it............................the first thing I do is uninstall all the S H I T E they thought they needed and didn't, oh someone said this was good so I put it on...............for what ??????? There is a big sell out there that people keep falling for - for no rational reason and end up with a complete nightmare, don't try to fix what doesn't need fixing..................keep the mouse pointer away from that "OK" button when you are being pressured to install some crap you don't need, also when you go looking for things avoid anything that ends in .exe unless you are 100% what it is and even that can be difficult to determine because there are so many bogus sites out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 and one last thing for all those that feel the need to install stuff that you rarely need, check very carefully all the little tick boxes as you proceed because they will want you to install more useless stuff.

I see where a sexy GUI gets people to buy utilities that are already in the o/s albeit poorly packaged and/or presented but to be honest, there's absolutely bugger all that IOBit utilities can do that hasn't been done before (or still being done) by other vendors of less flashy software. But if you feel the need for a smiley face to tell you that your machine is OK while at the same time telling you you qualify as a 'VIP' for their paid products, then go ahead, knock yourself out.
