Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine?

Microsoft Windows
4 Days Ago
by Romar_2
For me, the first app I always install on a fresh Windows machine is a solid browser—usually Chrome or Brave—because the default one just doesn’t cut it for me. After that, it’s 7-Zip, Notepad++, and my password manager. If I’m setting up for work, then definitely Slack, Zoom, and whatever payroll software my team’s using—it’s a must-have. Can’t …

I've seen this happen from Windows Defender nuking Visual Studio's compile process. Make sure the PC is set to Developer Mode. Whitelist the directories involved in Windows Defender. This could happen after a Windows Update. Check the "defender" log and see if there is any file(s) to restore. Restarting the PC will resolve any hung…

I like the challenge, but hate when errors like these occur.

Enabling **gpedit.msc** on Windows 10 or 11 (especially Home editions) is useful for gaining more control over system settings. While it’s not officially included in Home versions, there are workarounds—though users should proceed carefully to avoid system issues.

Jim, I have not used Windows in a very, very long time, but can you not configure Windows to store My Documents on D? I'm quite sure that you can, if I remember correctly? https://superuser.com/questions/1725456/wha-cant-i-move-my-documents-folder

I agree. [Everything](https://www.voidtools.com/) is always a definite install after imaging. It's something that should have been built into Windows. I've never found the need for any security software other than what comes with Windows.

As is typical with Microsoft, their search/find tools work poorly, can hog resources, and are difficult to use. "Everything Indexer" is easy to use, has a small footprint, and has almost no effect on my resources. Search queries show you results as you type, and you can create complex search terms with logical operators, as opposed to the…

I have recently come into possession of 2 second hand Fujitsu RX series servers, and this issue is driving me nuts! When I got them neither had disks, so I popped some disks in and installed a Win Server 2019 hyper-v service. So both servers have entirely clean and activated installations of Server 2019. Every day without fail both servers …

First app is Macrium Reflect so I can take an image of the fresh install. Then I repartition to C/D, move my user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to D. Then I take another image. After that I begin installing my base apps before imaging one more time.

Further note: Because Microsoft insists on crammine OneDrive down our throats, moving the My Documents is damn near impossible. I've found the easiuest way is to initially set up my computer using a Microsoft Account (something they have also made it almost impossibole to avoid), then create a local admin account and always log on with that.

That's exactly what I did except I used sysinternals junction.exe. This still leaves things screwed up in that the address bar may still show you in OneDrive even though you are saving to the junction point.
