Windows 10: EVERYTHING is bugged ... Same for you ?

FWIW - I did agree with you, but then I changed my mind.
I upgraded to one of the 9xxx builds from Win8.1 (on a Samsung system that had troubles with Win8.1)
Then I've upgraded to the various 100xx builds until I arrived at 10074

I had many, many problems and was getting desperate enough to consider a return to 8.1
But I tried uninstalling programs that seems to be acting oddly (mostly the developer tools and MalwareBytes AntiExploit), and removed other programs that I no longer use.

Now it's rock steady for me and I really like it.

 

If it bugs you, why do you continue to read post about people having bugs?

 

What's the point of a TP without bugs?*Confused

 

Ok. I'll tell you, but I still think a simple "It's broken" would be more appropriate.
I try to login, and it stays on the "Welcome" screen for two hours, doing nothing. It seemed to be "just broken".
I hit the "restart" button, and it stays like that a LOONG time. Had to force shut down from the power button. Seemed to be "just broken".
I try to switch applications by clicking some icons on the taskbar. It usually works, but sometimes it just doesn't wanna switch. Odly enough, the taskbar is actually responsive and there is a "light" feedback of clicking, but the selected program doesn't come up (or become active).
In the windows update, the "downloading updates" freezes at 99%. Seemed to be "just broken".

Anyway, when I say 'It broke' it's probably just something like that. They are things that "just broke" but are not severe enough for me to try and ask about them here.

PS: Everything is now flawless after the blue screen. I have no idea why that is though ...

 

That's like prunes without worms.

 

And this is why it is so hard for MS. Windows has to work on all sorts of hardware configurations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're running Win10 in a VM on an Apple machine - is that correct? The hardware in Apple machines is more constrained and the VM emulates the hardware. This might be protecting you from some of the nastier bugs.

10.074 is far more stable that any of the previous 10.xxx drops - it had to be, they showcased it at Build.
That does not mean that there are no bugs ... lots of things still crash or hang (store apps are constantly needing attention, usually an update solve the issue, unlike before where you had to reregister, reset, uninstall, and who knows what other steps....)

MS seems to have moved to a more normal update process. We might not get more builds, only roll-ups. This would signal how close they are to the RTM / Current Build release (love how MS thinks standard nomenclature is outdated and replaces it with something meaningless and ambiguous - what was wrong with RTM anyway ... current build means ..... ??? - of well, it's they're ball)

Are you feeling left out Lee. I can share some of the bugs on my machine with you *Wink

Glad to hear it got sorted ... first time I heard that a BSOD was a good thang *Wink

 

Probably a good thing W10 will be a free upgrade. That way if it doesn't run well on certain hardware, at least the operator can re-install the previous OS and not be out the cost of the upgrade, like with previous Windows releases.

 

The answer to why is always. . ."Why Not". . .*Smile

 

Ow shucks, you had to mention worms !!! I like eating prunes....

 

Oh sure, there are bugs but so there are bugs in any OS, any windows for sure. Still show up on W7, W8.1 and other ones too. Anybody thinking there will be no bugs even on release version are just plain optimists.
I don't know why are some people surprised to find them on an essentially beta OS ?. It's actually fun to chase them down and find fixes and runarounds. That's mostly why we signed up for and also to learn and be ready when final version shows up.
