Some advice with Windows 10

If you have machines on your network with older hardware

Which were working fine in previous versions of Windows and previous versions of Windows 10

and start generating blue screen errors after major updates


A simple fix for a whole host of sins is:

Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Advanced Power Settings > POWER SAVING MODE

+

In Task Manager > Startup

Limit it to your security intelligence software and maybe one or two low impact processes

+

Disable Hardware Acceleration in all programs you use which allow you to disable Hardware Acceleration

example:

a common fix for vlc media player going green screen or triggering a bsod is to go to preferences in vlc > input/codecs > disable hardware acceleration

+

It may be helpful to switch to Firefox

Firefox > Tools > Options > Performance

allows you to disable hardware acceleration

+

Firefox allows you to set a Content Process Limit

Firefox's defaults are lighter on system resources than most browsers.

Using the handy selection box to limit mozilla to between 30% and 60% of it's default setting will make it even lighter without slowing you down.

+

use uBlock Origin

+

In Settings:
Deactivate Cortana in Cortana
Deactivate Camera and Phone
In Apps Uninstall / Terminate every app you don't use
On Work Computers you'll find a lot of apps running as background apps.

After every major update of Windows 10 background programs like xbox console companion and xbox live, etc will be set to ON whether or not you know they are there or use them.

If you have a problem with getting a computer to auto-update to a newer version of Win 10

Download it onto USB or Create a Disc. Update the uncooperative machine manually.
Win 10 can sometimes just flat out refuse to play ball with a bootable usb. When that happens. You're gonna have to create a disc.

It doesn't support every browser, but it's surprisingly effective and doesn't consume much resources...

According to google thumb up

It certainly has trouble with older and custom builds; something which ABP doesn't mind at all.

uBlock Origin is the best adblocking extenstion/add-on. Uses the least amount of resources compared to other adblockers.

AdGuard is quite good though.

Btw I'm still using Windows 10, and won't upgrade to Windows 11 due to old hardware.
