  1. A litany of issues - no activation after 24 hours?


    I upgraded yesterday using Windows Update. I had Windows 8.1.

    Here are the problems I'm having:

    -Chrome isn't functioning well. Some pages refuse to load. Sometimes it just hangs on an open tab.


    -Cortana isn't working at all. Clicking the Notebook does not bring up the menus and options there, it just 'thinks'. Typing in a question does nothing, she just thinks. And asking a question causes her to just think as well.


    -Skype will not connect. I should note I've uninstalled and reinstalled Skype and Chrome.


    -Restarting does not occur instantly. It takes time.


    -Attempting to open some programs just doesn't happen. It sits there, and does nothing. This includes Windows programs like Task Manager.


    -The new Start Menu and Cortana has frozen and hung on me multiple times, causing a need to restart.

    -After almost a full day, sometimes just sitting here and clicking 'Activate', I still have yet to Activate.

    -When installing programs, it asks if I'm OK making changes to the computer. After clicking 'yes', the dialog disappears, and then the blank screen just sits there for a few minutes before anything happens.





    Needless to say, I'm a bit frustrated and disappointed, and at a total loss here.

    :)

  2. Since I upgraded to Windows 10 a litany of issues

    I like a lot of the fetchers of 10..........but!!!!

    I am the only user and the only administrator of my PC and 10 accepts this but still refuses me to edit photo/pictures, excel spread sheets, word documents. I now own basically a table top MP4 player. When you use a non Msoft program like adobe Photoshop
    you can make changes and even print but it refuses to let you save.

    I have checked most of my files and setting and they are not read only but it says they are. You can't upload picture to facebook.

    As a disable person who is homebound most of the time I need my computer to do so many things but at the moment I don't even have the right to delete files or program. Windows 7 is looking good glad I set a system restore before changing. I will give them
    a week to fix then I am reverting!

  3. Since I upgraded to Windows 10 a litany of issues

    First issue AVG Anti Virus did not like having Windows 10 overlaid, removed and replaced AVG. Several issues solved

    Things went OK for several days, then I could no longer save Word documents to my document file. Keeps asking for Admin authorization, something never previously required.

    Latest thing to go wrong the start button and the new browser no longer respond.

    How can I fix these problems

    Worst part is sitting waiting for the help desk to respond, listening to how good Windows 10 is!!!!!!

    It is all too hard, please give me Windows 7 back
