it's up to you. check out the posts here for ideas.

right. if you do not know what it does to your os, using these system tweaking software that involve windows registry is potentially unsafe. everything is done at your own risks. however talking about breaking things, how many times do we screw the os up just by using reg cleaners? the popularity of the tools may prove otherwise.

these days, reg cleaners are kind of user-friendly. they always create backups before committing changes. so if you're unsure, do not turn that backup function off. now what if i screwed up the os really big time? i just restore it from reg backups. if the damage is so beyond repairs, i just restore the os from a working system image, or do a reset, or a clean install.

the thing is, ms ships their os with default settings, but there is no such things as 'one size fits all'. in order to make a system run better, it's up to users to remove what are useless to it, and tweak the rest based on requirements.

of course ms will not support and is against the use. they have all the things they can say, i.e. when they provided their own tools to this, and when they decided to discontinue them.

ok i will go home check

ok i will go home check check

I finally found the issue to why my Windows 10 is getting all this issues last time.
It's due to COM Surrogate process. Having thousands of MKV videos, is probably the cause.

Issues:
- Thumbnail not generating
- This PC/My Computer keeps loading and saying "Working on it" (File Explorer)
- High CPU usage for COM Surrogate, using 10% of my CPU all the time.

Killing the process of COM Surrogate will make:
- Thumbnail and icon to generate (although sometimes it still doesn't)
- This PC/My Computer instantly loads properly, without it saying "Working on it"

Solution (for now, until Microsoft fixed it):
Using Icaros thumbnailing to generate all the mkv image preview. Which can be found here: http://www.videohelp.com/software/Icaros


Now all my thumbnails generates like normal like Windows 7 and 8.
COM Surrogate also doesn't use much CPU usage anymore, with the help of Icaros thumbnail. Icaros thumbnail doesn't use much cpu or ram as well.
I doubt Microsoft will fix this issue, they might, but doubt it will ever be soon.

oh a good tip. that thumbnail thing is one of the first things that i disable after a clean install.

Anyone know to set the homepage for Microsoft Edge ? I tried to change it at sttting there , close it and opened it again . But , MSN appeared as my homepage again . There was no SAVE option though .

did you remove about:start?

go to settings:
1. 'open with' > set to 'a specific page or pages';
2. under 'a specific page or pages' > choose 'custom';
3. create page 'about:blank'; remove 'about:start'.

tried that , still the same.

uh? it's the same settings that i use. i'm not sure why it doesn't work for you :/

anyway , thanks for your help , btw , your screen resolution isn't 1080p ? larger than 1080p ?

How dangerous is this piece of information?

Just the name "Danny".

ok thanks.. deleted edi..thanks man..

Name : WIndow® core edition
description : windows r OS OEM_COA_NSLP_channel

.. and his email address. it's better to take it down lol

you have windows core edition, not single language. it's no wonder the w10 installer worked for you.

weird because the upgrade should work for you. my best guess about your w10 activation failure now is that it might be related to the channel type. i tried retail and oem (stock-key-in-bios type), both worked.

again, this is an endless debate. but for me, registry cleaner is kind of snake oil or placebo effect only. It is not really worth to use it for the trouble it caused and pirlform is also not advise user to use its registry cleaner unless there is something that cannot be fixed by other means. old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

it's 1080p. i set dpi to 100% instead of defaults (which makes everything extra large to me).

you might be absolutely right that it's pointless to apply these things to a healthy system today. modern windows might be smart enough to optimize itself

it's my habit for years to disable things that i don't use (e.g. autoplay, desktop gadgets, etc.). in addition to manual tweaks with gpedit.msc, i use wrc's system optimizations because it has settings that i normally apply manually. (e.g. part of basic ssd optimizations)

er this one i am not sure how to help.

windows sl is a windows version that cannot use language packs and multiple user interface languages (mui).
