Why do I have to log in into my single user Windows 10 desktop? And before I can sign in, I also have to click on an ugly lock screen image, which for some reason displays unasked for advertisement. Why do I have to sign in each time I close laptop lid or after screen goes dark?

Hi guys,

I found a much better way of solving this problem. I decompiled the file that was causing the key to be set back on and successfully disabled it. The culprit is in C:\windows\system32\LogonController.dll

You will need to get a hex editor to do this. This is for the 64-bit version, 10.0.14393.0, with md5sum of 3a12a4ce74b958564c0e4346869fcd8c.

This address location jump to file location 0x156EE, It should look like this:
75 4A 48 8B 8C 24 etc
Change the 75 to 74 (jump not zero to jump zero), save it and replace the LogonController.dll in your system folder.

You'll have to take ownership and then rename the file, and drop the new one in its place. Reboot and voila!

Some details of what is going on:

This is my last ditch effort to get some kind of help before giving up on Windows 10 forever. I tried calling support for help but it was frustrating and pointless and I was ultimately just given an 800 number to call to speak to engineers in a different group. Honestly, I don't know if I can handle speaking to another guy with a thick accent who is obviously just reading off of a script in an MS knowledge base.

For the past 5 months, I've been fighting an endless battle against forced updates that render my machine completely inoperable. I've had to roll-back to an earlier restore point and run the show/hide updates tool on a monthly basis just to keep the thing up and running. That, of course, means that I've spend many many hours trying to work around a broken update process that Microsoft seems either unwilling or unable to fix.

For whatever reason, the cumulative updates never complete when they run and I'm left with a blue screen with spinning white dots. When this happens, the only way to get the machine running again is to rollback to an earlier restore point. The show/hide update tool prevents the update from running again for about a month but then the whole ordeal repeats. ...I guess when the newest patches come out?? So, I'm constantly having to rollback and re-install whatever was added after the restore point was set.

The FOSS ecosystem is tied into systemd because of the network effect of many more people using Linux distributions over *BSD, making *BSD community have to conform and modify their systems to use those programs that are using the various features of systemd and Linux breaking operability across Unix and Unix-like platforms. Going back to using SysVinit would solve this problem, as systemd has no benefits, except maybe in embedded systems.

Another incredible annoying Windows 10 feature: when you open a folder with audio files, Windows hides file name, date, size and extension, showing instead "Track Number", "Title", "Contributing Artist" and "Album". That is entirely worthless, when you open a folder with sound effects used for a game, and I never listen to these audio albums with track numbers, because music is for retards. Even less I care about "contributing artists". How have they managed to fuck up such a basic functionality, like showing a file size and modification date?

Even Photos App doesn't work properly and spies on you, sending your child porn images to law enforcement:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/978e2e07-6b52-43b2-83fc-04ea0f4f141b/windows-10-photo-viewer-slow-to-open?forum=win10itprogeneral

"My old windows phone opens pictures better than this."

"The Windows 10 photo viewer seems to be quite advanced and is not your run-of-the-mill image viewer. Mine was slow too, which led me to do some minor research.

1) The app "phones-home" to Microsoft with some sort of usage data. This uses your network connection. If you have a slow network, or other reasons why networking slow, this could be your problem.

2) The app maintains a database (SQLite) of images. The database contains information on all your images. So if you open up the app in a folder with a lot of other images, you will see a slowdown because it's doing a lot of querying (probably to speed up slideshow).

This is all I found so far. These factors explain enough of why the old image viewer would be quicker."

A lot of this bloatware has memory resident parts, launched at startup to spy on you and waste memory - their memory usage can easily go to 300 mb, which is a lot if you have just a 2000mb, 1000mb of which is wasted by Firefox, which is the smallest memory footprint browser (Edge and Chrome take 2000 mb opening same set of pages), although I still remember earlier IEs running on 32mb RAM machines without any troubles or noticeable garbage collection or swap-file pauses.

"TrustedInstaller.exe is Windows Module Installer service which is part of Windows Resource Protection.

Windows Resource Protection (WRP) is a technology that restricts access to certain core system files, folders, and registry keys that are part of the Windows installation. WRP prevents files with .dll, .exe, .ocx, and .sys file extensions from being modified or replaced.

Protecting these key resources is important to overall system stability, and, as such, they can only be modified by the Windows Module Installer service (TrustedInstaller.exe). If someone with administrative rights attempts to modify or replace a file that is protected by WRP, he will be presented with the message "Access Denied"."

I'd definitely get one if I had the money. But I'll probably end up building one for much cheaper and dual boot between FreeBSD and Windows 10.

Photoshop actually matches your photos for being CP and banknotes, reporting your to law enforcement if you try load something funky:

Neither should an operating system in order to ``activate'' it.

It does for activating it.

"I am almost sure that I configured the settings to do that before, but I cannot find it. Maybe it was on WinXP."

"I think that the real answer here is that Microsoft (and other companies, like Apple) have engineered out these simple features (locked balance control, mono output) because most people don't use the controls. They pretty much ignore the fact that for everone with a hearing imbalance (not uncommon by the way...) these tools are critical. "

Made a selection rect and it hung forever.

although I can produce additional rects. So in Windows 10 you can have more than one selection rect. What design is that?

``The Windows API is so broad, so deep, and so functional that most Independent Software Vendors would be crazy not to use it. And it is so deeply embedded in the source code of many Windows apps that there is a huge switching cost to using a different operating system instead... It is this switching cost that has given the customers the patience to stick with Windows through all our mistakes, our buggy drivers, our high TCO (total cost of ownership), our lack of a sexy vision at times, and many other difficulties [...] Customers constantly evaluate other desktop platforms, [but] it would be so much work to move over that they hope we just improve Windows rather than force them to move. In short, without this exclusive franchise called the Windows API, we would have been dead a long time ago.'' [1]
