Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3185319) was the one on win 7 that caused this.

Yet another reason to use an alternative browser that is not subject to M$ incompetence.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Just had what seems to be a major W10 update. It took longer than W10 took to install in the first place ! Had to postpone going to bed as it threatened the end of the world if I switched it off. Pile of pants.

Since the Win 10 anniversary update the Edge browser has been virtually unusable. Chrome now set as default for the moment.

Have you tried a clean install of Windows 10 as that is very unusual to happen and on both browsers?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

No issues here for me either, it is the best version of Windows so far in my opinion, although i like the Windows 7 theme better.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Still wishing I could use 7. This new update is taking the pee. Doing both rigs at the same time, the one in the sig is running 2 SSD's with the OS on one. The other is just running a 2TB HDD, seems to be no difference in how long its taking.

If anyone's wondering, the only reason I have windows 10 is because 'good guy' Microsoft made it a requirement for any Xbox title coming to PC. Now they're going as far as making it neccesary to have Windows fully updated to use certain games.

Edge won't be an issue, can't remember the last time I bothered to use any browser offered by Microsoft. Back in XP probably.

I know 10 still seems to be adding 4gb to my GPU. Appearing in places as a 12gb card. Anyone had that problem? Seems to have little effect to games, where memory is picked up properly.

Edit: It's done, besides annoyingly re-pinning their own apps back to the taskbar, nothing seems broken.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Not taking the chance with clean install . on Some it works others like my sons
he lost the computer for a while took days for it to reinstall
The answer i suppose is a spare Hard Drive install of WIN7 Using the original
serial number as long as same version of windows 7.
for older things i use Win XP 2Gig RAM And that flys it runs a programme
that only runs on that and Vista not on www so completly Safe
