Windows 10 (latest problems)

Cleoriff — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 10:55:14 GMT

I wonder how many people are experiencing problems with Windows 10?

Interesting article here about the 'forced updates causing endless crash loops'

My husband successfully installed it on his Toshiba laptop and has now removed it.

He found all library folders (documents pictures music etc) were 'read only' and could not be changed..

Apparently Microsoft have known about it since beta testing and have done nothing about it (from the forums he accessed to see if there was a fix)

Have it installed without problems on one laptop but I've given up on the other. Happy with Windows 7 on this one now.

I think the Read Only issue was a big problem for my husband because he does the website for the Civic Hall where he works. Obviously with acts returning to the same venue you need to be able to modify previous documents or pictures. It doesnt allow you to do it. A bit annoying he said... when Windows have admitted it was a known issue

Also it must be infuriating that they released a patch (a roll up of bug fixes ironically) which is causing this endless loop of crashes for many users trying repeatedly to install it..

No issues here.

I would really expect that problems will present for some and not for others. It is all highly dependent on what you use your laptop for....

My friend updated her Surface and has lost all links to one drive.
Content is all there if you log in online but all apps are showing no content at all.....

I uploaded everything to OneDrive on the phone yet nothing shows on Windows 10 on the laptop. Poor.

It took 3 attempts to install Windows 10 and Cortana has no microphone icon. Seems to be a problem with some others, who were told that it maybe doesn't recognise built in mic..possibe driver issue x

I would go so far as to say that anyone who has upgraded and says they don't have any issues are either disillusioned or haven't fully used it to the extent it needs to be.

Anyone actually got cortana and one drive working? Voice control is also a joke...I switch the TV on and all sorts of strange things happen

Well my husband got Cortana installed and working @Cairdeas and @jonsie. He seemed to enjoy for 2 days the company of a woman who didn't argue....but then the other faults outweighed his delight. So she got removed when he rolled back to 8.1

jonsie — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:18:16 GMT

My Cortana is a little bit like my wife...only understands what she wants to and then does exactly the opposite of what I want her to do. Guess I need to upgrade the wife too....

I couldn't get on with Windows 8 so I'm still on my old 7 laptop and I think I'll be staying that way! My husband is thinking of upgrading one of his laptops so I'm leaving him to it!

Best idea for hubby @Cleoriff.. I'd roll back too.. But the bother I had to get it on I don't want to hit problems the way back lol. @Anonymous ..I loved windows 7! X

Cleoriff — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 20:08:37 GMT

I still have Win 7 on my laptop here and the one in Spain...so am not changing one without the other. If it aint broke...it don't need fixing sez me. Also.....I probably wouldn't get on with Cortana *sniffs*
