How To Title: Windows 10 = Maze of Slow, Intrusive Garbage. Need Help in Un-Bloating and Speeding Up To you Computer tech-heads, just got a Win 10 HP piece of crap that is running in quicksand. It's not a brand new machine... Firefox is running, but preventing the LF page from opening without permission. Took forever to load youtube as well as all other pages. Have loaded CCleaner and Avast. There seems to be a mountain of bloatware and intrusive programs running in the background. I'm a Win 7 guy, so this is all Greek to me. It's like a selfish Monster has hijacked the machine. The Settings are nothing like the simplicity of Win 7. Very convoluted. How do I take back this machine? And stop the intrusive stuff and updates? Any constructive suggestions are appreciated. Thanks...

Use you CCleaner to remove the crap; don't get too over-zealous though as you might lose sumthing that may require a re-install of your nonprofessional Windows 10. Just go into the side bar for CCleaner and select tools. Get rid of the crap you want appropriate selection.

#7. To: Deckard (#3) Thanks. I have used CCLeaner for about 8 years. I use the professional version (I pay for that stuff) because it allows me to control "stuff" on my disks all over my local network with ease. It even senses SSDs which have limited R/W cycles compared to my RAIDS (All pretty BIG HDDS). There are a lot of bugs that go around locking up internet browsers on Windows PCs irrespective of the variations/versions. I have never had that problem on a Linux box, but Linux requires a nit more acumen to navigate and I understand that viewpoint. So, the sacrifice for many users to have a simple machine is Windows and some sort of way to prevent all the crap that Windows allows. As a recommendation, set up some simple security precautions: never log on as the administrator of your machine when simple browsing. How to perform that function is set up a guest account in Windows with no capability to install software when browsing. For Linux, we rarely surf the internet as "root" as malicious stuff exists at all times; not many use Linux, so this recommendation is probably not significant. For Windows users, the Windows startup routine is the BIGGEST WAY a machine is S-L-O-W. Get rid of the stuff and then select what you want thereafter. Never have a machine rule your machine with simple automated gizmos.
