Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

annoying it did an update this evening, and automatically rebooted, I've changed the settings so I get prompted, rather than it automatically rebooting

Even more bugs here. Windows title bars disappearing off-screen, wireless devices unavailable for no apparent reason, and system dialogs appearing completely black.

Seems like most of the problems I've come across are UI related, but still. It's gone beyond funny into frustrating territory now.

The only problem I've got is that the laptop doesn't connect automatically after the router has been turned off otherwise all working fine.

Lucky you. Three laptops here and all of them have connection problems when resumed after standby. Then again, they are all using the same Intel driver which wasn't designed for Windows 10.

Aside from minor interface bugs, the other half of the issues seem to stem from lack of driver availability. And this god-awful half-combo of traditional Win7 control panel and Win 8 settings panel.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

you won't have any problems for basic task. normal use.
so i don't know why people are sacred for?
and works perfectly fine on upgrade on top of windows 8.1. without fresh install.

if you need help installing windows 10 then check Youtube. should be easy.
if a stupid person like me can do it. why can't you?

i can't even spell right need help from dictionary. need help with grammar and punctuation.
