Customizing what runs on startup for your computer.Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option).Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster: But my OS's functions and interface should JUST be about the things that are already on my computer. Specific programs can access the internet that's fine. If I wanted to see something online, I would go to my browser! All the online stuff should be segregated into the browser!


My computer is NOT just an internet-portal! It has tons of stuff on it, and when I'm interacting with the OS, I ONLY want to see things that are already on here! It just FEELS like a violation every time I start typing into the start bar, and it tries to show me ANYTHING web-related. You have to maintain a strong distinction between "things that are on this computer (and maybe even included in Windows)" (safe, one hopes, or you already got pwned by it, probably), and "things on the web" (scary, dangerous, not to be trusted at all).Įroding that barrier in the UI is awful. This will make old, computer-illiterate people more malware-vulnerable. The start menu should never do anything related to web-searching, especially if it purports to try to give examples of things that are on my hard drive!
#OO SHUTUP10 DANGEROUS WINDOWS 10#
I just hate how Windows 10 tries to conflate and confuse web searches with things on one's own computer. Yes yes, the oldest claim in the world.īut specifically.
