When I did an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows I did get this error opening most anything.
“This app can’t open, your trial period for this app has expired”
Right click on the Start button then click on Run then type:
SFC /SCANNOW
This fixed the issues.
When I did a clean install (formatted hard drive during install) I had no errors and everything opened normal and the text looked sharper.
In the Device Manager I do have 2 issues listed under Other Devices called “Base System Device” After some searching it turns out it was the Broadcom Card Reader Chip BCM57785X. I had my Gateway cds and the driver was on it. Windows itself was unable to locate when I tried to update the driver. I ran the setup from the cd and now I have no issues in the Device Manager.
Once I finish installing all my programs I will use both Windows Backup program and EaseUS Todo Backup Home backup to create an image file so I can quickly reinstall if needed. Then I will use EaseUS to do a 2nd image with incremental updates of files. You can specify for how long to keep the extra updates, say 1 month then delete the older versions so your hard drive does not fill up.
I have a blu-ray player drive and Windows 10 did not have the software. My gateway cd has CyberLink PowerDVD 10.
When opened for the first time it told me I had to update it. It tried to opened John Wayne’s “The Searchers” but could not. It said “Not responding pilgrim”.....
I would need PowerDVD 15 and the cost is $85. Looking for cheaper alternatives.
DVD’s play in VLC. Blu-ray do not.
I've not had any crashes or freezes on the O.S. The software I use all works with 10.
I use a USB hub to drive my printer, external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I had to download a driver for that usb hub. And that's it. Wired printer and wireless 4 in 1 printer worked native.
I just don't really have any complaints. I think its a pretty slick U.I.
