Windows 10

Re: Windows 10

I'm having similar issues with that too (headphones are default communication device, but keep getting muted) I think my audio software has presets that until now I haven't had to use that I'm going to tinker with this weekend. Pretty sure I can load audio profiles with just 1/button press, surely there's some freeware out there that does the same.

I can't seem to rename a favorites folder from the Edge Hub. I right click, then hit rename, type the corrected entry, but it always goes to the original.

This settings reverting back to what they were after being changed seems to be a common theme with Windows 10 (see my earlier post). Every time I would get it fixed so my files weren't read only, they'd just revert back to read only the next time I booted. Finally got it permanently fixed by switching to signing in with a local account, leaving my homegroup, and removing my microsoft account from account settings.

Tried that, didn't work.

Re: Windows 10

Im glad you guys are playing the test subjects because if that happened to me after updating I'd be incredibly mad.

While these issues might be minor in the grand scheme, they should not be happening at all. Its Microsoft's big rebound attempt and the Q & A seems to have fell very short.

OS installing drivers for hardware not on the pc

OS installing wrong drivers for installed hardware

I like it though. The favorites/bookmarks folder problem exists only in the Edge browser, at least as far as I've seen.

Re: Windows 10

When I try to install Windows 10, I get a C1900101 error code and it forces me to restart in Windows 8. A quick search is bringing up solutions like defragging, turning off antivirus, and other things that either do the trick or not do the trick.

Guess I'll play around with it later when I have a chance. Guess I'm lucky it allowed me to revert back to 8 and not give me a BSOD.

I'm not seeing the same issue as you. I can open the hub, rename several Favorites folders, and it saves just fine within Edge. I've renamed imported folders (from Chrome) and new folders that I created within Edge with no issues.

Re: Windows 10

IMHO, Microsoft is doing such a huge advertising campaign this time around they are making Windows users feel compelled to upgrade to Windows 10, just because it''s free. I have to install all new operating systems from Microsoft for consumers because I need to know how to repair, tweak and optimize the systems. I installed the W10 upgrade and was not impressed with the final version. To be candid, it''s still much easier for the average computer user to navigate Windows 7.

In a few words: Windows 10 has too much junk in it in terms of the Start Menu/All Programs. Windows 7 has those two featues in excellently configured and everyone loves a helpful Start Button.

I agree and it's because while 10 is a nice improvement over 8 there is still too much "8-ness" to it. There is absolutely no reason to have things like a "Settings" app in addition the Control Panel. That's completely moronic, put it all in one place and be done with it. Being hounded to sign in to a Microsoft account all the time (and not use a traditional local account) is annoying. In this regard they're trying to be too much like OS X.

The Start button/menu is better than 8's Metro UI obviously but it's still worse than 7's. The Mail and Calendar apps are worthless, OWA/Gmail's web interface are still far better. IMO a very small percentage of users will use Cortana on a regular basis.

I still like 10 after I've customized it but objectively I can't say it's better than 7.

Are you still signed into OneDrive? Because I'm not. After turning off that stuff and the next time I restarted, I did get a popup saying I needed to reconfigure OneDrive or something which I just closed and I haven't seen it again. Also, the first time I tried to access my documents folder I got a message that said I didn't have permission to access it then asked me to click 'OK' to permanently gain access to them and that was the end of my problems. Dunno if you have a Microsoft Answers community forum account, but check this thread. Plenty of other people have been having the same sort of issues.

After Windows 10 Upgrade all files are marked as read only

I'm not seeing the same issue as you. I can open the hub, rename several Favorites folders, and it saves just fine within Edge. I've renamed imported folders (from Chrome) and new folders that I created within Edge with no issues.

I haven't tried renaming folders, but overall I just don't like the look of the favorites bar. The folders don't always expand beneath the folder name and whereas the font on Chrome is such that all of my folders can fully expand on the screen without needing to scroll to see items at the bottom of list, the folders with more sites in them need to be scrolled on Edge and these are also the folders that don't expand beneath the folder name. Just doesn't look neat and as such I'm sticking with Chrome.

I thought the settings app was the control panel? Also, after being prompted to sign into my Microsoft account then encountering the aforementioned problem with files being read only and then reverting to signing in with a local account and removing my Microsoft account, it hasn't "hounded" me to sign into Microsoft again. The only thing I've seen is in some of the settings app screen it suggests that my Windows might be better if I signed in with a Microsoft account.

BTW, as for the "files read only" bug, from the community thread I linked, I have gotten the impression that this issue may be restricted to those upgrading from Windows 7.

I haven't been asked to sign into my windows account at all. I don't use windows apps though, so there really shouldn't be a reason for me too. I had more issues in windows 8 with them trying to force me to sign in.

Re: Windows 10

I finally went ahead and upgraded and upgraded my graphics card drivers without a hitch.

Mainly becauase it takes up less resources to operate and isn't a complete cluster mess like Windows 8 was at release and I must say I like it alot.

IMO its a cross between 7 and 8. I love the split view feature. I was going to buy an LG ultrawide monitor for that feature until I saw this I completely wrote that monitor off and bought a new 27 inch monitor to game on so I can stop playing on my 60 inch tv. Very happy with the decision I must say.

After turning off every imaginable share and privacy setting I could, I'm good to go.

Re: Windows 10

Trying to DL important updates for W7 and it keeps indicating that it's DL'ing W10.... I hate this M$ bull**** sometimes.

Found this link if you want to uninstall the update (but didn't apply W10 as of yet): http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/h...ng-your-system


Addendum: despite doing that, when I try to DL/install my important W7 updates for things like Silverlight, Office 10, W7 and Defender, it still tries to DL W10. Such bull****.

Re: Windows 10

Yep...I heard something about Win10 today that makes me not want to get it now. So, needless to say i'm not upgrading.

Here's what I'm seeing even though I never told it to DL W10 and after I hid the update and deleted what I did DL.

Re: Windows 10

Interesting, I have the Win10 tab on my desktop but I didn't actually download Win10.

I just looked at my windows updates. Everything that doesn't involve Win10 were updated successfully but everything to do with Win10 failed as I guess I didn't activate the thing to put it on my PC.

So I guess i'm safe.
