I end up using powershell and cygwin for anything related to that anymore. All our core servers are linux based and I get into a habbit of typing things like "ls" or other commands that don't work in the normal cmd windows, but do in powershell and cygwin.

If you have updated to version 1511 it's time to recheck your privacy settings. That update turned on a lot of features I had previously turned off

I ran the program, but do I ever need to do it again, or each update?

You can check status as often as you like. It is mouse and cat situation

That 1511 update was really a large update and I had to go through my machines to turn off a bunch of setting in Privacy again. It also enabled a bunch of telemetry stuff that was previously disabled.
Spybot runs after each restart to make sure nothing you wanted off was turned back on by MS.

Note that latest Win7 security update re-enables ****ing kb3035583 Windows 10 stalker, even if that was disabled previously.

had a question about MS Office... the old one, not the new pay per use 365...
if I had MS Office installed perviously on a Win7 or 8.1 system, and upgraded to Win10
would my Office still be there... and work?

Will work just as any other program.

I have Office 2013 on my Work Laptop running Windows 10 and it's been perfectly fine.

In fact it's been better with certain things than Office 2015 has been.

I'm running Office XP still LOL. had to install SP3 and a bunch of security updates manually to fix error with windows update. Now runs like normal. Only with instant loads off 950 Pro.
