Amazing that people are freaking out about Microsoft using their personal data in pretty much exactly the same was Google and Apple do.

Upgraded on the laptop, has been fine, almost no difference in usability from 8.1

I think it's very much the media pushing that agenda for headlines. If there's no morale outrage about something, who will talk about it?

Me too

Was without the computer for most of the day though.

What's it supposed to do better apart from look different?

Fucking taskbar won't fucking hide now

Fuck's sake

I took a shitload of photos on Saturday on the islands.

The slideshow feature is something you have to go look for now.

All in all I don't even see why they bothered. It just looks different.

Bet you've got a notification hidden on your taskbar - it happened to me. Click the little ^ arrow to the left of the icons on the right of the task bar. On the extra icons that pop up, click each one individually to find out which one. The taskbar will hide again when you do.

That worked. After going back into settings again.

The latest Insider build 10525 kills chrome dead. - something to do with new Windows memory management magic. Supposedly starting Chrome with the --no-sandbox switch fixes it, as does uninstalling Chrome and installing 32bit chrome instead. Can't be having that buh.

Was there a Windows 9 or did I just miss that. I thought Windows 8 was still fairly new?

Windows updated itself this morning and now me Network & Internet is bollixed and not working. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm thinking of reinstalling windows 7 - is that a bit hasty?

Not me and I'm on the insider track which means loads of updates.

Yes

There seem to have been similar problems last year related to upgrades from windows 7 and 8 that had some vpn software or other installed. I had openvpn so maybe it's something to do with that. But was grand for months until today. fucking thing. I'll give it a day or two.

I'd say go for it. I loved Windows 10 when it first came out despite the rough edges. But with each update it's getting progressively worse for me. Webcam stopped after one update. Software uninstalled without explanation. Steam Games no longer working. Strange things happening with audio drivers. USB MIDI keyboard works only intermittently. And don't get me started on Candy Crush Saga installing itself automatically. When I get a bit of time to do it I'm totally going back to 7. Windows 10 will be great, but it seems to be pretty slipshod at the moment.

Mine upgraded itself to 10 last night, at least I think I said no the last time it asked me
