hi humbert.
I hope you are fine.

I'm doing great. Enjoying the light traffic, cheap fuel and abundant orders for delivery. I work part-time (4 hours a day), I make a few cents on the side. They're asking for masks in most places you go and can easily get in if you have one. You can even wear it wrong and nobody notices. Let's see how long this blessing lasts  :). I suppose the only things I miss are live sports on TV and the availability of products at supermarkets. It has improved, but not yet at pre-"pandemic" levels

In order to rearm win 10, and if you are using my version of windows 10, you can use my home-made switch-less activator in the $oem$ folder. You can find it here too (x64 only): https://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=3350.msg35382#msg35382

Unless I'm missing something I'm not seeing a link for the activator/rearmer. I'm always on the hunt for good activators that don't install unwanted garbage on your computer.

You know, when you have sold your flat in Miami, if you have 10 million dollars and if you want to buy a flat in Paris with a tennis court, you can contact me.

By the term "flat" do you mean an apartment or any dwelling? I had a house in Miami. It took a miracle for me to sell it. Naturally I used the money to buy another house in San Antonio. Better price, better location, and infinitely better than Miami in every way. With respect to the flat in Paris, keep in mind $10 million in cash is not enough. You need a healthy income to live in a place like that.

Note that I have been arrested by the confinement police, I was driving my car. Since I had no attestation, they gave me a fine.

Were you handcuffed and taken to jail? If so I assume they called a towing company to tow you car away, and naturally sent you the bill. What exactly do you mean by "no attestation"? I looked that up in the dictionary, the definition didn't make sense.

I was joking. And even if I had a lot of money, I would not buy real estate other there, because I think it is totally overpriced.
But I wouldnt say no if I could live in a little house by the sea like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc8dmf9L6U4
With 10 million$ in cash, you could buy a lot of flats over there though.

no, just fined. You need to fill out a form to go out.

Mixing and matching any DDR4 is OK, as it will go back to the lowest-in-common JEDEC standard, which in this case should be ddr4 2133. You might see a slight performance drop when using the lower mhz' stick, but in reality the more ram should outweigh the difference unless you're playing games or rendering things all day within the first ram-sticks limit.

You may also want to try https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm
It's a tool disabling the Spectre patches, that are known to cause slowdowns on intel systems.
I'm sure you're aware of the pro and cons of disabling security patches like that
Yes, I'm aware of security issues.

Note that the new version of windows 10 x64 could be ready as soon as tomorrow on the forum, the version 20h1, not released officially yet.
You can post comments here, I'd like to know if you are waiting for this 20h1 version.

The main improvement of this version is to continue to enhance the system search function. The May 2020 Update is faster on HDD hardware, thanks to the reduced disk usage by Windows Search process.

PS: note that in the new version, I'm planning to add a new lockscreen too, as well as new drivers and programs like vlc 3.0.10.

Windows defender is disabled by default but can be re-enabled again via gpedit.msc.
Note that the new feature Windows Defender Tamper protection was deactivated too.





In the previous versions a script was run to remove the useless appx and provisioned packages. It wasn't used in this version.
Here is the script previously used to remove provisioned apps (the "Sysprep" switch was used).
#This function finds any AppX/AppXProvisioned package and uninstalls it, except for Freshpaint, Windows Calculator, Windows Store, and Windows Photos.
#Also, to note - This does NOT remove essential system services/software/etc such as .NET framework installations, Cortana, Edge, etc.

#This is the switch parameter for running this script as a 'silent' script, for use in MDT images or any type of mass deployment without user interaction.

Note that a switch-less lite installer for the latest nvidia drivers for win 10 x64 is available here (v445.87)
Only graphics driver and Physx system are installed. Geforce experience is not installed.
It is possible to run this during the installation ($oem$ folder).
Link: Nvidia drivers repack



and here is the link for a switch-less win10 activator (encrypted & automatic).
I encrypted it to store it more easily since some antivirus detect it as a virus. Disable your antivirus before executing the exe (it’s not a virus).
A few seconds later,it’s done.

I think the substantive awesome would be more appropriate.
Well, I wanted to ask a specialist if changing the picture of the lockscreen was possible. It is the only thing that Ive not been able to do for the moment. I do not think it is possible via a regedit entry.
I'd want to put this picture as the default lockscreen: https://i.ibb.co/4S1Km3S/lock.jpg

Note that the new version of subtitles edit will be included in the next version of windows x64, in one week.


I am currently eating some duck gizzards with rice with a turmeric sauce. With this, I am drinking an excellent wine. I guess you should have been with me tonight.

I didn't install it, but I read that disk usage was improved for Windows Search in the new version.
I'm not sure you need to upgrade, install it if you need to format your hard drive disk.

I think only people with HDD will notice it. I have moved most of the them to SSD (DRAM and non-DRAM based SSDs).
I don't see a major feature that made me want to hop the update train.
1909 nuked my Linux bootloader and its partitions and upon clean install my PC was stuck at black screen and never recovered after waiting for an hr or two. Restored Macrium reflect backup and everything was working with older win 10.

The new windows 10 iso will not be available because there is no significant change (only new vc redist/new drivers). In the next version there will be updated programs too.
Try non-bloated nvidia drivers https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/nVidia-modded-Inf
