Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I think it looks poor, i've had some bugs where the task bar won't auto hide from time to time, i just don't like the feel of it, seems clunky and awkward imo

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Compared to Windows 8 its a vast vast improvement.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Is the taskbar issue sporadic or is it happening during certain tasks, movements etc. ?

You're going to have to expand on clunky and awkward. It could mean bad system specs or running order and inability to accept change :confused:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

The taskbar issue is is sporadic, some times it just sits there and doesn't move, so I reboot and all is well, also since upgrading ( if you can call it that) to W10 I am now having terrible trouble with Flash Shockwave crashing, this never happened before W10 was installed.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It would have been quite an achievement by M$ to make it worse. :D

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Having put mine in autohide and done a little searhing something your end has got to be triggering the taskbar issue. Is OneDrive running in the taskbar, notification area? If so exit the program, close it down. It could also be display driver related. Any compatibility issues should already be fixed to be honest. Be sue you have the latest drivers installed, or some cases not :erm:

Adobe Shockwave Player crashing doing what exactly? Programs? Tasks?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

WinME

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

But at least it looked OK even if it ran like a cow with three legs. Had it on the laptop. That is old now but is on XP SP2 instead. Much better.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Win 8 was fine here, and 10 feels like win 8 with a start menu, so all good.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I'd say Win 10 and even Win 8 looks far better than WinME.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Hi, thx for the reply, Shockwave crashes frequently whilst watching a video etc, or on youtube

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

ok. let us know how you get on

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Last night I decided time was right to upgrade my ASUS laptop from Win 7 HP to Windows 10.

Backed up Docs & Created System Image then started upgrade. Upgrade took around 90 mins, only issue on startup was Comodo Firewall blocked internet access, but clicked Fix and Comodo downloaded and installed new s/w and everything worked!

So far no other issues, all programs appear to run OK.

Just one question, there doesn't appear to be a Hibernate in the power settings?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Found the answer to my Hibernate question, was just not showing in power button options, see http://winaero.com/blog/add-hibernat...in-windows-10/

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Since a fresh install im having problems with Windows 10 explorer.

For example if im viewing a lot of pictures in a folder, suddenly it will jump back to the top of the folder and i have to start from scratch and its irritating.

If im trying to sort a folder with pictures its taking longer than it should.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Excellent, roll on the next preview build!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I don't think it is. I reverted to Windows 8.1 (using a Desktop computer, keyboard and mouse) when the Nvidia driver on Windows 10 kept giving an error message and causing problems that didn't happen with Windows 8.1. Also, had a full-screen problems with some games. CorelDraw's toolbar background went white with white captions (no patch to be issued for the version I have). I wasn't too keen on the overall UI either and had become accustomed to using Windows 8.1.

I will probably go to Windows 10 again eventually but have no immediate plans to do so. The OS, my programs and everything else run fine on Windows 8.1.

New build of Windows 10 now available on the fast ring.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I'll have some of whatever you've been smoking please.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

All updated to the latest 10565 fast ring build, no problems so far, there is 1 option that may help people in the future, it lets you change the product key if it fails to activate and you can enter your legit Windows 7/8.1 key.

http://www.neowin.net/news/these-are...10-build-10565

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

This seems a far more stable build so far.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I've not yet made the jump (and very likely won't until SP1 or its equivalent)
I'm guessing things like Windows 10 Build 10565 are preliminaries for a Service Pack inclusion?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Microsoft have said they will no longer supply service packs.

They have been known to change their minds before though.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

They may roll them out in smaller pieces as part of Windows update then, rather than a huge SP, I suppose now we all have fast broadband, it's not the issue it was.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I think as it stands Windows 10 is pretty good and am pleased it was a free upgrade, i couldn't go back to Windows 7 or 8 now.

We can now clean install and use our existing 7/8/8.1 keys on qualifying devices with this current Insiders build 10565, which is great.

http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-1...-clean-install

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Build 10565 now rolling out to the slow ring just a few days after it hit the fast ring.

The most stable version for me.

That's good to hear. Now I should be able to clean install it on my new SSD.

I noticed it on my win 10 box last night, an ad for what looked like a facebook style game :(


also in non-breaking news, after last night's big update bridged network in vmware stopped working, reinstalled it again and it works again. maybe I need to reinvestigate Virtual PC (well whatever the new one is called) especially as that's what we use at work on the new Win 10 machines (I'm on 7 at work so still VirtualPC), also there was a new virtualbox available last week or so ago so if I'm bored at the weekend I may try that again ;)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I have started to use this now, all due to all the tracking they are doing.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Decided to opt in to being an Insider on my slowwwwww laptop as i like how the latest build works and looks, was pleasantly surprised that we could actually still do this and with just a click of a button in the windows 10 settings.

---------- Post added at 12:04 ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 ----------

Do you mean the 'suggested' phototastic app?

Looking in windows settings you can turn off 'occasionally show suggestions in start' so maybe that will stop it? Atleast that option is there in build 10565. :)

---------- Post added at 12:08 ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 ----------

I have to say i am loving Windows 10, in my opinion it is the best version of Windows so far, and am happy it is a free upgrade for the first 12 months, but it seems easy to get hold of it for free anyway by becoming a Windows Insider (atleast i think you can) and this is without piracy.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

When I load edge it comes full screen. When I load IE or Chrome it comes out the size I've set it too. Is there any way to do it with edge?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Mine doesn't load full screen, but i set it to full screen from the normal place in the top right hand corner and it stays full screen when opened again, so have you tried doing the opposite?

My annoyance with Edge is it never opens in the same place on the screen, but i am not ready to use it yet until addons work with it.

I recommend upgrading to it seeing it is free at the moment if you have a qualifying Windows version.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Just used the Win 7 Backup and Restore "Create a System Image". See Linky

Haven't needed to use it, Windows 10 is a vast improvement on my laptop both in terms of speed and performance and I would never go back to Win 7.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Thanks Dave.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

According to a trusted source, Microsoft will release the “Threshold 2” (TH2) release of Windows 10 in November as the Windows 10 Fall Update. And unlike the post-RTM Windows Insider builds we’ve been getting, the Fall Update will ship as a cumulative update, not as a full build.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Oh! No! My Windows 10 Home Premium attempted to automatically upgrade to version 1511, 10586 last night. Guess what? It failed at the same point my original Windows 10 upgrade used to fail until I stripped the PC down to bare bones. Have MS not yet overcome the vagaries of systems with different configurations? This is pathetic, bordering on the criminally negligent.

This now means that 100s of millions of people with legacy machines world-wide, and not that old, will struggle to upgrade their Windows 10 even if they are computer savvy.

So here goes, hoping that setting for a clean boot will be enough. If not I will yet again have to remove all peripherals and their drivers.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

With all due respect why the hell should they? They give it away practically free and because they cannot foresee all the myriad different set ups that millions across the world have they are criminals..how about cutting the hyperbole and cut Microsoft some slack? :erm:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

You can't expect all legacy computers to be compatible, buy a new computer upgrade old obsolete hardware or stay on an older OS.

You really can't expect old hardware to work with everything and that isn't microsofts fault.

Hardly criminal. lol

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I know of numerous folk, ( Non-PC Savvy) who were prompted by their systems to automatically upgrade to Windows 10. They allowed their systems to get on with it. Five of them, work colleagues, have had their systems ruined with all attempts to restore their previous versions failing. They have had to pay out to PC World to fix their systems. One who lost all her files is taking legal advice.

Tell me this is OK.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It doesn't sound good, but PC World?? that is asking for trouble.

Luckily i don't know anyone who has had real problems upgrading to Windows 10 so far.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It would appear from your statement that these people haven't bothered to maintain any backup system. I had to do a clean install on my main PC as I had a CPU fan failed and HP insisted that before they took it away to repair that I started from scratch.

Just installed update on one of my Pcs and the Laptop.

Why is this update only for Home and not pro?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Today I upgraded our two i7 laptops with no issues whatsoever. I also upgraded my old dual core PC with just the video drivers uninstalled. This is the one where I sacrificed all my old apps and setting to upgrade to the original windows 10 release. I guess this made the version upgrade easier.

Up to now I haven't been able to upgrade my 2011 quad core PC. This is the one I have to strip down to bare bones to upgrade, because I opted to keep my apps and settings when I installed W10. I'll wait until I have a spare couple of hours.

Remembering the ease with which I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 on this machine, I wonder if a Windows 10 retail CD will be as trouble-free when it is released?
