What To Do After Installing Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

October 17, 2017, 15:43(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

1 – Run Windows Update (Yes, there are updates already.)
reboot
2 – Run O&O ShutUp10 (There are a few new sections.)
See this page of Windows 10 Privacy Settings for more info.
reboot
3 – Run Windows 10 Advanced Disk Cleanup
reboot
4 – Run other disk cleanup utilities. I use CCleaner portable & Wise Disk Cleaner portable.
See this page of the Win10 Tweak Guide for more info.
reboot
5 – Make a system image.
Done!

Saw a new Geolocation Service turned on by default .. was it running all this while, or turned up in the Fall Creator’s Update? 😮

Once again the Fall update has turned off the System Protection , System Restore function. It needs to be turned on and create a restore point.
