What else do you do when setting up a new Win10 desktop from scratch?

I wished they would give options to keep those on. The absolute worst cases happen in Windows 10, when there is a BSOD, and the screen remains completely black. No smiley face, no nothing. Those are hard to debug. That happened in all OSes including Linux when my display is asleep for those very hard lock ups. No logs, etc. Maybe blinking keyboard lights if you're lucky to say kernel panics! It would be nice if other OSes could do that too like Windows. I was only seeing those during the Win10 preview. The old BSOD screen (WinXP era) was "more reliable" and wasn't relying on the sanity of the desktop to work. You could still have video card crashes without a lot of details to work with. At least the display tries to do restarts or recovery now. Eh, I never liked those autorestart features. I want to see why they crashed. -- Quote of the Week: "It's them!...
