Fall Creators Update new features, some bad some good
-
got the FCU on my work machine now.
Task Manager has been updated. Includes a GPU item now, showing its usage. Pretty neat. I like this a lot, easier to see than going into Nvidia/AMD programs to check.
This PC view in Explorer has also been updated, to include more useless BS.
I dont even know what a 3d Object is, nor why i would want it using up screen space 100% of the time. I also dont want Music Pics, Videos there either. Only way to remove these is through regedit. I would also guess they come back after every update or restart. -
Windows Update Settings is changed as well.
You can see your GPO settings from here if you click View configured update policies. -
The Settings page for Network settings is also changed, and is now almost as usable as the Control Panel option.
Clicking these options works now, and brings up information or adapter properties. It used to not work, at least at my home and workplace.
Data usage is quite nice for checking things.
Clicking these options under Related Settings actually does stuff now.

Another new feature is called "Controlled folder access".
It protect files and folders from unauthorized changed by unfriendly applications. -
@black3dynamite yeah some useful things there.

I noticed that it automatically protects some of my redirected folders and folders in C:\Users\username.

@black3dynamite Yes for some reason i cant enable this feature at the moment.

Are you using a 3rd party antivirus? I think it needs Windows Defender for it work.
-
@black3dynamite Yes, i can turn on some features of Defender, but not this one, using Webroot.
