I'm using StartAllBack and have found it to be a rather nice experience.

    Yeah but that's only UI issues. It also runs much slower then win10. There are massive performance issues. Next to that I have less rights to do stuff. Few days ago I wasn't allowed to forget Bluetooth devices for example. Even in control panel bt settings. After XP it all went downhill with accessibility of settings. Fancy setting pages with restricted options. Why, what's wrong with control panel? I know it's still there, and we still have WIN+X but it's getting placed behind more sub menus and restrictions and more and more is being removed to make it idiot proof. But it's also locking me out. I want full control over my machine. No one tells me what I can and cannot access on my device. Fuck Microsoft.

    I made all my accounts local only and I haven't noticed these issues. I do still use control panel and the old user manager by default, so maybe that's why?

    I also used a special installer which allows for local only accounts out of the box and does some other changes. Maybe that's why I'm having a better experience. This is the guide I followed. Follow the guide for Rufus.

    I used something similar for win10. A stripped down version without all the booking dot com and Xbox bs pre-installed. Only local account. But it auto upgraded to 11. Time for format C.

    For me I'm happier with my computer since the XP days with these mods. It's fast and responsive and doesn't give me shit. It's been only a couple months since I reinstalled it, so time will tell, but so far so good.
