Turn off Windows garbage collection.
Turn off Windows garbage collection.
I updated Windows but encountered issues while watching a downloaded video, which prompted permission requests for TV and Movies. Feeling frustrated with the current setup, I decided to disable unnecessary features to improve performance and restore a smoother experience. I had to log in using my dad’s account since his email is no longer associated, and now I’m aiming for a more stable Windows 7 environment.
My system refreshes updates continuously and has never complained about access rights while watching a video.
Windows 7 is free from those problems and offers better security and reliability compared to Windows 10.
Doesn't require VLC? Windows actually has a built-in media player for TV and movies. I haven't used any other apps beyond the photo viewer, but switching default app settings for file types is straightforward.
