I never liked that WiFi sharing idea. I'm also not a fan of that "Windows Update" sharing. Asking for trouble.

Windows 10 latest build... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I dread the day when I have to switch or buy a computer with Win10.

I just had my computer guy install Windows 10 from 7.

I have issues that it frequently goes to just the 4 blue windows with no icons (although they show at bottom of screen) and nothing works - not the mouse or clicking on the bottom icons. If I leave it alone it comes back to the regular screen. Also I can reboot and it works.

Any thoughts. I have checked all the connections. Is there any issues with the computer sleeping?

Thanks

You're talking about the caching feature that works like an ad hoc WSUS server? I like the idea of only having to download once and distributed internally but I'll never be comfortable with the lack of control over the patching process.

It does not seem like Win10 manages memory as well as Win7.

My wife and I share the computer, but usually logged in but not at the same time (obviously). But when either of us have locked our account with browsers and files open and the other uses the computer we get frequent out of memory messages. That was not a problem in Win7.

I can’t remember how much RAM we have, probably 8 gigs but I can’t say I’m all that impressed with Win10.

Win10=Spyware

I may switch to Linux when I’m forced to drop Win7. For Windows Programs (to service clients) at that point I will use VM’s that pop up as needed, but have no “world” access other than as needed.

Wife just got a new Windows 10 PC. After griping about Linux for 6 months.

I HATE IT because I cannot access the Windows 10 machine's shared printers from an Ubuntu machine without a login on the Windows 10 machine.

I have searched everywhere for a solution. Even when you set "don't use passwords" on Windows 10, it still does.
