Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
have had this known windows problem from Day 1 and despite numerous ideas on a fix Nothing permanently works. what i do is Restart and is ok until next time.
Beware this latest Update win10 its a flaming nightmare all three computers here have had problems from fail to restart after install , Aps removed , links removed
solution on fail is select Advanced repair options select return to previous version
of windows wait a while all should be ok i say should ? never can tell thats why
i have my Upgraded Ram (3gig) XP DELL ready to take over again

I still run XP SP2 on my aging main system, one of the best OS's to come out of the M$ stable IMHO. I have W7 on the laptop and don't like it even after taming its worst excesses. I cannot understand the headlong rush to get a new, buggy, OS and then depend on it.
My business needs reliable computers, no way would I touch W10 with a bargepole. I'll leave the nerds to play with it for now.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
XP's perfectly "safe" even though updates have stopped*, it's the BOFH that lets computers get infected.
An external firewall in the router greatly adds to security.
*I have never updated the original installation.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
So much hatred for Windows 10 when it is by far the best MS OS to date, in my opinion.

Horrendous clutterfest.
I like a nice clean GUI. Just look at my start button menu for example:
All the frippery banished. It's the same across the whole platform. If I installed a new OS I'd be spending valuable time getting rid of the crap. It took nearly a week on the laptop with W7 to get that tamed and I'm still coming across stupid things.
If M$ concentrated on getting the oily bits right instead of adding frills and ruffs we'd all be better off. You can really only compare OS's by a back to back clean install on the same hardware. (Assuming the same level of HW support)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
That looks so dated in my opinion, no clusterfest on my freshly installed Windows 10.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Anyway, who even uses the menu itself? Since Vista (if I recall correctly) it's much quicker to just type straight into the Start search box to find any program you wish to run or file you wish to access.

I think i use Window 10s right click on the start menu more than anything other than shutting down.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Psst see post 1587 my settings do not work, and in fact today I downloaded ISO repair windows 10 disk and still I can't get anything to work, I'm not even sure the download was successful, what a mess.
---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:49 ----------
I'm thinking now I reluctantly have to take my beloved lappy for a repair after I have now exhausted every repair option

It may look dated but I wasn't bought up with Fisher Price toys.
