Ok, after a clean install, what are the first must do tweaks you do?
EDIT: Thanks for all of the input so far. Keep them coming! Here's a quick list from me.
- Disable UAC (Never Notify)
- Disable All Notification Center Notices
- Netplwiz
- Disable Firewall and Defender
- Disable System Restore
- Set taskbar to Combine When Full
- Hide Libraries and Folders from Explorer
- Disable OneDrive
- Disable Homegroups
- Disable Hibernate
- Uxtheme Patch / White Titlebar Text Theme
- StartIsGone
- TakeOwnershipEx
- Enable Launching of Unsafe Files / Turn Off Security Settings Check
Here's a list of small programs I run to improve the Windows experience:
- DU Meter
- DisplayFusion
- True Launch Bar
- FastPictureViewer/Codec Pack
