About two weeks ago, my windows ten update started freezing at 82%. I had to turn off my pc and let it restore to the previous version. Takes a couple of hours.
I now have to be careful to turn off the wi-fi access every time I leave the computer or it will, at some point, try to complete that update and fail.
I need to turn off the auto update, or I can just hope this one works.
Seems like BOHICA. Why does it seem as the years go by, the contents of updates from MS and Apple get less interesting and more annoying?
If you work in marketing at Microsoft you are living a charmed life.
You can be as lazy, foolish and obnoxious as you like because your means of convincing the public about new ‘features’ is to force them down users’ throats.
It’s fair to say that MS have always been an imitator not an innovator but they have really lost their way with all the Hobson’s choices they’ve been offering.
A month or two ago, whenever I booted up my computer it would open up to Internet Explorer and go to my home page. It would also open up my last Word document I was working on. Anybody know how to turn that feature off?
“Timeline”
Apparently, the govt is not satisfied with a website history.
I don't like the sound of that. But, I only use Win10 for work so, no biggie. Let 'em look. It's Linux for me at all other times.
All I know is that every time Windows 10 updates, my 8 year old laptop works better and faster.
I’ve run Linux on it, and, still do occasionally, but, it doesn’t run as good as W10 does now.
I’ll let the update run.
Win 10 stopped running(blue screen all the time) on my 2 Dell C521s after the Creators Update ,LOL
You "can", or you "will"?
I also don't like the idea of being forced to use Microsoft's browser.
I bought a Win10 tablet a couple of weeks ago to try to get used to Win10, since it seems inevitable. I still use Win7 Desktop and Laptop for serious computing.
I find the Win10 tablet just as frustrating as the Win10 hard drive I loaded a couple of years ago.
Things/tasks that used to be relatively simple in XP/7 are a nightmare in Win10. And of course, the lack of documentation does not help.
Win10 seems to be a change for the sake of change product. It certainly lacks features for improved productivity. It does have some neat new things, but they are overshadowed by the whole mess called Win10.
I have also been playing around with a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Linux is still rather clunky for actual productivity.
I do hate the time when Win7 and associated programs don’t work anymore. That is what happened to XP. It got so slow and could not keep up with the graphics/video intense web, etc. I see signs of that happening with Win7, as more web pages balk at loading under Win7 and older browsers.
You may be forced to use Edge.... NO WAY!
I use Windows 10 at work and I noticed that my programs I want to use like VLC and Irfanview for videos and photos will default back to Microsoft programs.
Come on guys. Thirty minutes of downtime minimum (assuming the upgrades work, which has had about a 50% success rate for me over the last three upgrades) per node, every three months? This is progress? Look, I love the Windows OS but fully half of my home machines are now Linux because I simply can't afford to keep it. Maddening.
