I can't get over how much I hate that there's no button to tell Windows to just restart the moment it's ready to when installing the 2004 update. First it has to "get ready", then download and then install. All before it'll prompt you to reboot, which then also takes forever. And as icing on the cake the login is also incredibly slow, because it apparently still needs to do more stuff. Why is there no "do all of this overnight" button? These lab computers are so loving slow.

On the sign in options there is also an option to have it automatically login with your account after restart to finish setup so when you actually input your password/pin/whatever its all setup.

Cheapest non sketchy place to grab an activation key these days? I see an abundance on ebay listed as Windows 10 keys, I assume they are just 7 keys listed as 10 for visibility? Only 5 bucks?

I'm getting tired how having to pave and clean install W10 on my 2013-era IdeaPad every six months because it consistently fails to install basic security updates for some reason. I can't afford to replace it, and I do most of my Windows only tasks on my desktop these days, so I'm considering just pulling the trigger on just making it a dedicated Linux Mint machine already. The only reason it's not already dual-boot is ever since W10 came along, GRUB2 suddenly can't install/update properly anymore no matter how much I fiddle with the BIOS and Secure Boot settings.

Try using the official Microsoft installer. Also as you mention 6 months (when Microsoft releases the big upgrade updates) try clean installing on clean disk (remove all partitions) 2. Try not using any cleanup scripts, debloaters, antibotnets or tweakers. As you talk about Secure Boot you probably have uefi so convert disk to gpt and use efi loader CatHorse fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Sep 9, 2020 |

Basic Microsoft installer also consistently fails. And I don't use cleanup nonsense, it's just like that. I think last time it may have tried to install the newest video drivers which caused crash on Windows boot up, so I may have to divert to Mint anyway.

Have you actually wiped its SSD and repartitioned. if Windows 10 sees a rather non-standard OEM partition arrangement it usually fails updates in specular fashion.

You can just assign a key combo to a shortcut file. There is a field for it in its properties. AHK is way overkill for this purpose.

You guys are way overthinking it. Literally just right-click the desktop, select New->Shortcut and then when it asks you for the location of the item paste in the command code:

A recent ComputerWorld article (linked) advised to download and save a clean copy of a Windows 10 (2004) install. The article said the install could "...save your keester at some point.", but was not explicit what risk it would protect you from. The article referenced the driving factor being the next major version of Windows 10 (20H2) being released soon. Article link: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3575089/pro-tip-sock-away-a-clean-copy-of-windows-10-2004.html Good idea, or waste of time/click-bait? I was going to plan a new build soon, but not sure of what version of Windows 10 to place on it.

I have .iso files for Windows 7, a couple Windows 10, and a few versions of OpenSUSE Linux saved on local storage. I also currently have thumb drives with the Windows 10 2004 installer, OpenSUSE 15.2, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed since those are the most recent installs I've done.

Everyone else is right that having a spare USB with the win10 installer on it is a useful recovery tool, and if you can update it twice a year to have the current version your PC is using it's even better. But besides that, there's nothing special about 2004 in particular to need a special installer saved away. 2009 this fall is gonna be another minor version like 1909 was. 1909 rolled out very smoothly with few critical problems, I'd expect 2009 to do the same. Not that I'm gonna be checking for updates the day it comes out, I'll give it a month like normal to make sure. But I doubt that 2009 is gonna be a disaster.

Oh no, absolutely sock away an older copy of Windows now. I had a bad upgrade to 2004, and couldn't get back onto 1903 to fix things.

Hopefully someone can help because this is driving me crazy and has been happening since I upgraded to 2004. The mouse property "enhance pointer precision" keeps turning off every time I log off or shut down my computer. I have searched around, and followed the advice of turning off synced Windows settings and I have completely uninstalled the Logitech options (and logitech unify or whatever), but it is still happening. I don't see any startup apps that should be affecting this (just adobe stuff really). Anyone have any ideas? My mouse is a Logitech MX Master 2S.
