If you have access to MSDN, then switch to the LTSB (long term servicing branch) version – it might help avoid surprises.

Twenty minutes later I get to sign in because the anniversary upgrade arrived without warning. Now I find the signin screen, the elevation prompt, and file open dialogs have changed appearance and behaviour, tray icons I removed have returned, the "useless" metro apps I removed have returned, I'm getting Alert popups that I suppressed, the desktop colour has changed, and Explorer tree icons that I carefully removed with registry edits have returned. Who's managing my PC? Who owns it? Greg
