[Not A Snowbird]

No issues yet, but I’ll hold on to this info just in case.

I have auto-updates turned off in Win7, but MS still manages to perform ‘critical updates’.

I know, because I have had to use System Restore several times when my computer started acting up. Strangely, the last item in the System Restore list is always a ‘critical update’.

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

I had nothing but problems and went back to Windows 7.

I’m sure Steve Ballmer is ROTFLHAO somewhere.

I have a few laptops that I use for word processing projects, never connected to internet. Maybe there’s a W10 in my future for that, but only if I can permanently disable wireless. And if it’s no better than W7, just buggier, I think I can live without it.
Still not hearing any raves about the holograms it promised in the pre-release hype last year. Was that illusory or what?

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 (with the new Unity user interface) over the weekend, and I like it. I have Chrome and Thunderbird up and running, and am working on bringing some of my Windows apps over. Eventually, I will zap Windows 7 entirely, let Ubuntu have the whole drive, and be rid of Microsoft except for running Windows 7 and XP in virtual Machines for the programs I absolutely can't run on Linux.

I am sick of Microsoft's antics.

I've been testing (now using) Win 10 since January or thereabouts. Except for one update which wouldn't install, I had no problems.
But in the last two weeks, my graphics driver craps to bed every once in a while forcing me to reboot.
For free it's a good OS, and I like the GUI. But there's obviously a few bugs that need to be addressed.

In other words, stay with Windows 7 for a bit longer.

“I think we can now all agree: Microsoft Microsoft’s hardline policy on Windows 10’s forced updates is silly. Very silly”

Well thanks for the vote that no one held to elect you to speak for everyone.

#2 exactly how many people did the affect and what were the causes unique to them as it appears that this isn’t a widespread issue for us running it.

[GraceG]

Windows 7 for me all the way Baby!

[Dante3]

for later

[TomGuy]

How long before MS issues a Win10 R1?

[RIghtwardHo]

If there were any real competition Microsoft would have gone out of business long ago.

I do love my Mac. When I switched, the change was amazing.

[I want the USA back]

Don’t they have a small group of of users to download the updates first and see if they crash the system? then release to the millions of other users. Or would they rather trash millions of systems.

[cschroe]

Have two laptops running 10. Upgrade was quick and smooth, zero issues so far.

[infool7]

KB3081424 installed fine for me on 8/6/15.

For me Windows 10 has been the least problematic update I can recall. It used to be that I would never even consider updating Windows but always start a new OS on a freshly formatted partition.

We sure have come a long way.

You WILL be punished for using any version of Windows whose identification number does not end in “#.1”.

Downloaded onto my laptop. Now I have to reboot every time I raise the screen because it will not resume windows.

Irritating nuisance.
