Windows 10 Anniversary Update Woes... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

And you thought it couldn't get any worse??

Is this Anniversary update something that comes thru automatic updates? Do I need to turn off auto-update?

So sticking to Win7 on this machine may turn out to have been the smart move after all. Of course, probably like many Win7 folks I have a Touch instead of the newer Paperwhite, and an old Fire. And I email PDFs to my Kindle account instead of sideloading.

Not much better than using nvidia video cards with the latest
Windows 10 update. My video card failed after the last update.
Disabled the driver. Back up and running but with basic video.

This is a feature, not a bug.

It will be kinda hard to create “artifical intelligence” when humans can’t even get an operating system right.

All these hassles of an electronic text reader, shaped the same dimensions as a simple paperback book and with many times the cost!!! Jeepers, mr. Wilson!

I guess I’ll just stay with my paperbacks (who would steal a real paperback book when they could steal your kindle?), and gladly add it back among the 300 others i have on my ‘read’ shelf, not counting the numerous ‘to be read’ books.

Maybe some day they’ll figure out a USB connection for a paperback book, and sell it to the millenials.

(Remember Dilbert, the etch-a-sketch reboot, and his boss?)

One workaround is to plug the Kindle into the machine ... while the computer is sleeping.


I don’t know. My first wife hated that.

Some people always get a crash, some most of the time, and others have reported experiencing no problems at all.

Don't you love getting a bug report like that on a bleary-eyed Monday morning? Oh, my.
