  • Obligatory: you can improve your Windows experience by installing Linux.

    Non snarky comment: you can disable driver craplets from auto-installing using group policy or the registry.

    run gpedit.msc
    Computer Configuration
    > Administrative Templates
      > System
        > Device Installation
    
    Prevent automatic download of applications associated with device metadata
    = Enabled
    

    That will set the following registry key:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Device Metadata]
    "PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001
    
    
  • Hillary. No one names their daughter Hillary and haven’t for a while now.

    Grover, Kermit. These were also common names. There was president Grover Cleveland. Teddy Roosevelt named one of his sons Kermit. Sesame Street had such a strong cultural impact that these names also fell out of use.
