    Office Home & Business Activation

    There is absolutely literally 0 reasons to ONLY want the Home & Business version of Office. All that means is that you don't get all of the office suite applications. If you are doing that to save space: when installing the full Office Professional Suite, you can deselect the office products...

    Is Windows Defender Your Primary A/V?

    How do I get infected with this? This is awesome! It disables everything I usually do by hand and it takes forever and I don't have any re-arm scripts like this thing does. This is good for performance chasers such as my. I'd like someone to find the reversed engineered samples, extract the...

    BEST ANTI-VIRUS USED?

    I disable Windows Defender and all of those new things that's protect against Meltdown and Spectre or whatever deep in the Windows Defender settings. I literally do not use anti virus. I only use uBlock Origin on my web browsers and I read the comments and make sure the time, size and seeder...

    msoffice

    Who is still having issues with MSO? Otherwise, this thread should be closed until the OP responds. If anyone else has issues: post a new topic.

    msoffice

    I used to use CCleaner, but Revo automates the repairing of registry + clean temp files + uninstall all in one go, instead of having to do each 1 by 1.

    Could still be the BIOS, the 1809 windows update REQUIRES a lot of motherboards to have BIOS updates. I have a Dell e5440 and just recently they upgraded my BIOS for this update. Check your manufacture for BIOS updates, then check YOUR BIOS version. If there are ANY updates, even if NOT for...

    Oh you waited over an hour huh? Try 12 to 24 hours. Yes, windows updates ar totally garbage sometimes. Also, try pressing F10 after POST, or reboot during the windows logo 3 times to get into automatic repair mode. If automatic repair fails, or you're able to get into the recovery screen...
