windows 10 - tucpal - 22:nd-Aug-2015 i did the free windows 10 update last night wow what a job that was and not that easy to do the problem was the macfee or any third party security software will clash with the new firewall on windows 10 they now claim there firewall is the best and will not be compatible with any other 3rd party security and they are no longer needed in windows 10 so if you try to download it with your third party security still on you will have to force a re boot but this makes windows 10 very slow and also it will give errors as they both clash so after removing macfee or any third party security and the BT home hub app for some reason everything now seems fine and much faster and all is now ok with windows 10 it is still a bit slow on start up but other wise now seems ok coming from windows 7 as i resisted windows 8 for so long but now its time to catch up with this free new update. more updates for windows 10 are on the way also to fix any other bugs I believe anyone else had any problems with it that is if you have done it or even want it lol. RE: windows 10 - bhalay207 - 22:nd-Aug-2015 I don't like how when your browsing that bloody cortana thing pops up asking what it can do for you.... Nothing, go away! It's still an improvement on windows 8! Looks alot tidier Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 22:nd-Aug-2015 you can disable it in the settings I have it turned off it is ok but not as good as the iPhone one but it will most likely get improved as time goes on. RE: windows 10 - WhelanUK - 22:nd-Aug-2015 I had a laptop that was next to useless, slow, full of crap. Thought give windows 10 a go. Installed it and it's like a new PC, works well, loads up quicker and no bugs. Got another laptop running 8.1 but have no option to upgrade. RE: windows 10 - Rusty2009 - 22:nd-Aug-2015 IMHO Windows 10 is utter rubbish as was 8/8.1 installed 8.1 and wiped it off within 10mins. 10 did look and feel better than 8 but again I wiped it off, they have just gone way too far with it and there is so much you can't within 10. I'll stick with XP Pro (needed for running the GM stuff) and my windows7 ultimate. RE: windows 10 - bhalay207 - 22:nd-Aug-2015 The problem with both 8 & 10 is that is designed for touch devices. It can be quite cumbersome on a standard pc Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 22:nd-Aug-2015 10 seems better than 8 with that respect but totality agree there with that RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2015 I have got the hang of it now after a good day playing about with it load up has now improved and over all I find it fast and easy to use found all the control panels downloads etc also RE: windows 10 - Lewis6317 - 23:rd-Aug-2015 10 is way better then 8 but i did and still prefer 7. with 10 you have to install updates for everything and cant pick and choose which updates you want to install RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2015 I noticed that today with an apple update I had to manually do it but I do believe this issue will be done at some point as usual windows realise it before it is fully done and tested windows 10 - Tonto - 23:rd-Aug-2015 There is an option to turn on fast start up, I have that enabled and loads very fast. Only problem I had was it doesn't power off properly with mouse plugged in my laptop, have to remove usb otherwise power light stays on as if it's on but with a black screen. I don't use Edge and have cortana disabled. I can't fault it for what I use it for!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2015 Today I was using Microsoft edge did a search for amc studios and as I pressed the link a pop up mail wear virus pops up phone this number and frozen internet not able to do anything on it I ran windows defender to look for virus and mail wear etc and it found nothing at all all ok but Microsoft edge was still frozen got on google and uploaded mail wear bites and ran it no faults tried others and nothing still there did a google search and found many have had this problem with windows 10 so I can only conclude that windows defender is next to useless so sod that I followed how to revert it back to windows 7 pressed restore as they said and now my computer is stuck in reboot blue screen it will not restart went back to the Microsoft forum and guess what there are loads of others also that have tried to turn it back there is a fault or something and no fix as yet so my computer is now dead useless not only is it not safe to use and not compatible with any third party security it will render you pc useless if you turn it back I am bloody fuming also they are taking no responsibility for this issue so now I have to take it to a tec and pay to have it fixed and get it working and get windows 7 put back on utter crap I was starting to like it but I could not trust there windows defender and now I have a major problem not happy at all windows 10 - Tonto - 23:rd-Aug-2015 Oh wow, I turned it back to 8.1 as I thought it was a problem turning off properly, but after I turned back I noticed it was just cause mouse was plugged in! I had no problem turning it back! Sorry to hear that you're stuck! What a pile of crap that they ain't taking responsibility for it, however I have amg and superantispyware installed so hopefully won't have any problem, plus I never use edge, only chrome.

If so you could try and repair it from that or failing that the best thing would really be a clean install of windows7. My sister couldn't get internet via W10 even after I found her a driver for it, she had no problem going back to W7 tho. RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2015 No disc it was installed on the PC they say I can download windows 10 on another pc from them to a dongle and then try a forced boot to my pc this will hopefully get it back to windows 10 if I want 7 back I have to then try again to revert it back they say they are working on a fix but don't know when it will be done god this sucks RE: windows 10 - Rusty2009 - 24:th-Aug-2015 Yeah I downloaded the DVD version of the discs. I never update an OS always do a clean install. Mind you I do have 5 Hard drives in my PC. 1 stores all pictures documents etc one for each OS I'm running the others for movies music software backups etc & a spare in-case I fill one up. RE: windows 10 - tucpal - 24:th-Aug-2015 It had been wiped I can only reinstall windows 10 that is there solution I have to download it off another pc on a dongle and try a clean boot and I wont be able to revert back to windows 7 ever or recover my bata etc this sucks I will give it a go tonight really don't download it its crap and not safe to use there web browser is utter rubbish lets virus through Windows defender is useless |
