A couple of setting to remember to change when you set up a new PC (and to check if you have set on your old PC, for that matter). 1 update restart notifications - having this on by default would fix 90% of the complaints I see about Windows updating without warning
2 how much do you want to help distribute Windows updates? this speeds other people up but if your upload bandwidth isn't the best, go turn this down (you can't turn it off)
3 I was delighted to see that key folders are now backed up to OneDrive by default (I set up a PC 3 weeks ago that came with 1709 and that wasn't on by default, but it was in an 1803 Surface Go this week); hey @stephenlrose do we still need the separate screenshot setting?
4 don't forget to set Active Hours while you're at it, so restarts *don't happen while you're working*
I wonder how long I will last in S mode? ;)
