I don’t know what people loved about 10. I finally got used to 8.1 and then went to 10. I would have preferred staying with 8.1.

I just jumped into Win 10 from XP and all I can say is Win 10 is common core computing...

Like the cleverly disguised come on re your controllers needing updates and trying to force you into buying the updates on a new computer.

Linux Mint 17.2 64bit with VirtualBoxes for XPP, Win7 and Win10 (though it runs very slowly on the 6 yr old quadcore box).

It's good to keep Win10 in a Lock Box.

What's up with this Microsoft lie?

Or maybe it is just a mistake.

I get the popup that says Defender is turned off. Then it won’t let me turn Defender on because I have installed SpyBot, even though I don’t use the SpyBot virus protection.
So I just scan on a weekly basis and ignore the popup.

I have steam coming out of my ears right now due to Microsoft.

As a CPA doing taxes and rushing to meet the deadline, Microsoft forced an update to my Windows 7 operating system yesterday.

I have two computers and I use them to back each other up.

The Microsoft update changed the drivers for my graphics card and caused an Atipcie64.sys fatal boot error..... on both computers. They are totally frozen, will not boot in safe mode, will not restore, will not diagnostic repair. Talk about stress on top of stress!!!!

Yesterday I purchased another computer, downloaded new software so I could complete and e-file taxes, and used Linux to surgically remove the needed files and transfer them to the new computer. All caused by Windows updates.

This happens occasionally with one of my 2 Win 7 laptops. When it does, I notice the icon for Vipre is not in the tray. Just opening Vipre ends the problem. It’s not a big deal, but I will usually assure myself Windows is full of crap. What else is new....

Same problem with same software. I put w10 notifications in quiet mode and never look at them anymore - not a solution, but...
