Ping for your list: Windows 10 Anniversary update breaking millions of webcams installing the update.
Again, they didn’t ask permission. They just did it. I never turn on auto update keys except on anti-virus.
If I knew how bad Win10 was I would NEVER have bought a new PC... going to replace the failed HD in my old PC with an SSD and go back to Win 7.. light years better in my mind...
There will be a lot of cranky wankers until it’s fixed...I thought that inexpensive two-way video would be a great communication boon for the world. Well, not so much.
Redmond strikes again...
I don’t think the word “break” means what the author thinks it does.
I use Windows 10 everyday on the computers at my work and don’t like it. The jerky responses when clicking on folders and the daily freezing and restarting the computers is maddening when trying to keep a work flow going. I much prefer Windows 7 on my two machines at home.
My eight month old laptop crashed when there was a forced Windows 10 update. The computer repair guy said the hard drive was dead. Did the update do that??!!
its been a bad month for Drives at my house...
iMac HD failed... 6yrs old
Win 7 HD failed in Jan 5 yrs old
iPod HD failed also 6 yrs old...
and of course... I cant find my Win 7 install CD, so will have to make another one...
Windows 10 is a disaster, I won’t go anywhere near it. My wife tried it, it was horrible, and she rolled back to Win7.

TOO BIG TO FAIL! *SNORT*
Has anyone noticed that the Edge browser will jump to mid page or there about where a certain ad is located? I’ve had this happen quite a bit on Drudge,Daily mail and others. Lately it has been for a Jaguar ad.
Capturing the video images for the NSA is more important that customer usability.
How do you roll back?
How do you roll back?
I just got the motivation to install Windows 7 and then do all that is needed to prevent a strong-armed Win10 "upgrade". That's a lot of effort.
Ditto. I’m on hold at Best Buy now to schedule removal of 10 and install of 7. I despise 10. We also purchased MS Office 365, which also sucks.
What’s wrong with these people? What are they smoking during brainstorming staff meetings?
A couple of developers have it as guinea pigs. Identical boxes but one is functioning OK and the other has problems with freezes and power management.
I have 7 on mine and am doing well.
10 is on both at home. No cameras so way to tell. 10 for the most part runs well.
