The Windows search game that keeps people active.
So I looked it up on the internet and discovered that its a file that Win 7 maintains, and its function is to make the transition to Win 10 easier and quicker.
Tech media: How will we now tell you if the OS we despise from the company we despise the most is “successful”? Well watch us move the goalposts fom raw numbers (that we would otherwise use for Apple or if we could show you no one is using Windows 10) to a bunch of other factors that have no correlation with anything other than it just makes it easier for us to bash this.
Tech media or the leftist press. Neither is good for much more than laughs.
I already have issues with Windows 10. I am not a computer geek by any means but my computer is less than 6 months old. I upgraded to the free windows 10 on Friday and now my computer seems to have internet connection issues it never had before. Is there something running in the background that I can look for? Also the browser doesn’t support Java! I have found a work around for that, but as I spend 50% of my time playing Pogo games that was a huge hit for me. I didn’t like Windows 8 because it was so different from the previous versions. I, like most people, had grown very comfortable with Window’s software. We fear change haha.
hmmm, it’s free to most people, so it’s value town all the way.
No Java. Hmmm
Mrs p6 and I upgraded to W10 with no problems. It boots way faster than W8.1 and Edge is lean and fast. The “new” start menu...meh. I suppose people who liked it will like it now. We liked the tiles and even charms. Overall no big deal either way.
The only issue we have had is with Cortana. It opens then closes within 2 seconds. I believe it’s a minor driver issue.
I did contact MS...higher level support...and they didn’t have an answer. Instead they are working with people with issues like the black screen that was actually solved in an early tech release.
More than likely all problems like Cortana will be resolved in October with the release of Threshold 2. FWIW that was the original release date for W10 but enterprise wanted it bumped for back to school and Christmas.
“It also wants to pedal Internet services”
Grammer Nahzi alert!!!
You might want to peddle your services and put the pedal to the metal while doing it...
Poor, Pedantic, Prose,
Have you the “notifications” icon in the task bar at lower right? That should give you a mini menu where you can check things like network connectivity and apps.
On an Android device I spent hours trying to figure out why it was slow and using so much battery. Turns out the grand kids had several apps running I didn’t know had been installed.
$Windows.~BT is created when a Windows OS upgrade install fails.
That's interesting, since I haven't done any upgrade, either successful or unsuccessful.
Installed Win 10 and now my trusty old HP printer doesn’t print in color and HP doesn’t support the printer. Now I have to throw away a perfectly good printer with perfectly good new carts and buy a new printer. Go figure.
You do know you can roll back from W10 to whatever you had?

I would not throw away the printer. It is likely that HP will just have to give you new drivers External devices often take a bit of time before they can be used on new OS.
Have you tried a Windows driver for theronter instead of the HP driver? HP almost never updates older drivers and I have found !any of the Windows drivers will wprk.
Downloaded 10, installed it (twice) and went back to 8.
Said I successfully installed but kept: “The program can’t start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”
Reinstall WHAT program? It never says.
Also, never could sync my Outlook email.
Reminds me of my (late) father's iPad.
He would only access news sites. That is all, and only the ones I bookmarked for him.
He passed and I got his iPad and closed ALL his windows (he never learned to close a Window, seriously), I decided to clear the cache and history. . .found gobs of porno sites. Turns out my sisters boys (12-15 yrs old) were “borrowing” grand-dads iPad to access porn because mama would monitor their internet use while on their home computer.
I hear ya! The 6 YO grand son is Very smart. Docs thought he was autistic at first but I realized the situation having been through it myself.
He’s being pushed onto advanced courses, even into a different school. Actually I’m surprised he didn’t cover his tracks. Than again it could have been his younger sister.
I’m also embarrassed I didn’t catch it sooner.
I am dumb. I downloaded new driver from HP and re-installed printer. Went to print and checked options. It was set to print in greyscale, switched to color and it looks ok now.
Thank you for the reply.
