Love it or hate it, Windows 10 adoption rate can't be ignored. Microsoft currently claims 400 million users worldwide. While no operating system is perfect, Windows allows for a lot of customization. Hence, we have created an entire Windows 10 Fixes category on MajorGeeks to help you find what you need, specifically for Windows 10.
Windows 10 Lite
Why install all the bloat in Windows 10 when you can shut it down during a clean install? We can't see a reason not to use this. It can remove Windows and System Apps, includes integrated privacy scripts and optimizations, and Black Viper's service configurations. It can also disable unnecessary scheduled tasks, unnecessary file types and file associations and even remove Windows Defender. All of these are optional. This is great for gamers, older computers or any geek.
Window Media Center for Windows 10
Missing Windows Media Center? You can get it back with this app. It made us smile the first time we saw it and we think you will too.
GWX Control Panel
Not running Windows 10 and don't have a need anytime soon? We get it. Older computers run better on Windows 7. This app will disable the nagging to upgrade to Windows 10.
O&O ShutUp10
Telemetry, privacy, and security. Everyone is concerned. Over the years you have dozens of tools to "lock down" Windows 10 the best you can. One problem is every time Windows 10 makes a major update; these settings get lost. So you want a tool that's been updated since the last windows release. How well these work in the modern area of always-on broadband and social media is questionable, but O&O ShutUp10 has a lot of security settings well beyond the basic telemetry disabling.
Windows 7 Games For Windows 10
Where did my games from Windows 7 go? Solitaire Spider, Solitaire Minesweeper, FreeCell, Hearts, Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans, Purble Place, Internet Spades, Internet Checkers, and Internet Backgammon? Run this installer, pick the games you want back and go have fun!
MyCortana
To each his (or hers) own but I always hated the name Cortana. If you feel the same way here's your chance to name it anything you want. Anything. It only takes a few minutes to teach Windows the new name with your voice so it can detect it properly.
LockScreenGone
LockScreenGone was designed to remove the lock screen that showed up after the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Bypassing it can speed up boot times.
