Yeah, you can make it less obnoxious. It just isn't ideal. The CPU usage is worse. Cortana can't be disabled. The multiple control panels. The worse compatibility with programs. It just is a "I'll tolerate it" situation that never really works. Kill updates as soon as possible.

Classic Shell. It is pretty much mandatory to use Windows 8 forwards, you can set it up to be like Windows 7. Of course, Windows 10 keeps updating to the point the guy gave up on Classic Shell... but that is beside the point.

Who even uses WinRAR these days? 7zip or Peazip is free, both work much better from experience.
