Hi Fiddler,

I changed some visual preferences, installed Chrome, VLC Player, a VPN, my VSTs, and a couple DAWs, turned off UAC (I'm good enough with computers to not really need it), and that's pretty much it. Not really sure what tuning I'd do regarding Edge and Cortana. I don't use either one so leave them alone.

I allow updates to install as soon as they come out. The guys who make the OS know this stuff better than I do.

Microsoft appear to have stuff pretty well figured out these days, and the guy in charge of their audio development really knows his stuff. The OS is good to go right out of the box, at least for my needs (mostly audio production). YMMV of course.

The weirdest, hardest-to-fix issues are the ones I run into on computers that have been tweaked and tuned by IT pros and programmers, and/or haven't been updated. wink

Cheers
