Windows 10: My Windows 10 experience so far

I bought a HP Pavilion the other day and it was not cheap since I wanted a decent CPU and sufficient RAM.
It came with Windows 10 which has a very odd behaviour.
At first the cursor would dissappear or completely freeze.
I fixed this after googling for hours.
Then right-click disappeared. No fix as yet.
And lastly, when closing different windows it grays out, then blacks out and finally the window closes. This sometimes takes forever.
I've removed all useless apps and changed power settings for max. perfomance.
What kind of an OS is this?

:)

 

N95 - Experience so far

Thanks for this info, but via which "ikon" shall i download these files? - "Download", "App.manager" (nokia.com) or any other?

Many thanks, Kate

 

N95 - Experience so far

--------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Have had the N95 since last Friday and am generally happy with the phone although a few problems:

1) Installed Maps - Just England (took 5 hours over cable

modem?) but working OK.

Have subscribed for the 30 day navigation trial via the phone but although get a good signal quickly and Turn-by-Turn seems to work, I don't get any voice guidance at all??. Have specified English via the handset.

-------------------------------------------------------

Hi There, I have the same problem - no vioce command. Did you fix your problem?? If yes, could you please tell me how??

Thanks a lot, Kate

 

If I bought a new computer/laptop and it had all those issues, I wouldn't be posting online, I'd have it replaced. Period.

As for the OS, it shouldn't be displaying all the problems you noted unless there are issues forcing them. As for what kind of OS? - A good one that's not perfect.... just like any other OS. Do yourself a favor and have the PC looked at.

Good luck.

 

If its brand new mate, reinstall windows and test directly after. Dont install any third party software just use the built in programs.

Remember with it being a HP, there will be bundles of supplied preinstalled programs, make sure you havent installed any A/V programs also mate.

 

I agree with Sygnus21. If you bought this new and it is having all those problems, send it back. If you are having all those problems with a brand new laptop, it is not the OS. I would suspect your problems will get worse with time.

 

Well, you have already been told... I would return that laptop... it clearly has problems, Windows 10 shouldn't behave like that.

I bought my Acer last year, and Windows 10 works as expected (except for Firefox, which seems to be erratic ha!) and I passed through build 1511 to 1703, and all works good...

 

Or is it the mouse attached to it (if any) - there have been threads on mouse issues esp. wireless..

Make sure you try it just with the touchpad.

 

I've been using both the dongled and Bluetooth version of the Microsoft Arc mouse with my 2013 Asus Zenbook Prime, and now my 2017 Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga X1 and neither has given me wireless mouse issues. In that, I rarely use the laptop trackpad so if there were mouse issues I've not run into any.

I've also used a number wireless Logitech mice including my now MX Master on my desktop and never had wireless issues there too, so....

That said, I would definitely give dalchina's suggestion a try to eliminate it's solely a wireless mouse issue.

 

--- Did the computer run ok before that?

We need information in order to be helpful.

Please post if it’s a new, used or refurbished computer and then the make and model.
--- In my case the computer I am using now is a refurbished HP EliteBook 8540w laptop
--- Also in your case, has your computer been upgraded from a prior Operating System to Windows 10?

Type winver into the Type here to search box in the lower side of the taskbar and press Enter
--- Mine shows version 1703 (OS Build 15063.674): let us know what yours reports.

On the start screen right click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner and click on System
Please record the following: Mine shows
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Processor Intel® Core™ i7 CPU m 620 @ 2,67GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.86 GB (7.68 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operation system, x64-based processor

 

No, the computer did NOT run OK before removing apps.
New computer, NOT upgraded to Win 10 from a previous version.
No external mouse.

HP Pavilion Notebook 15aw016no
Windows 10 home
CPU: AMD9 2.9 GHz
8 GB ram, 7.45 usable

Problems: Right click disappeared after a couple of days of use.

Cursor working on and off when typing comments or messages in facebook or filling in fields when webshopping.
Didn't work earlier today but is OK at present.

When opening file explorer, the window itself pops up but it takes several seconds to show contents.
When closing file explorer the screen grayes out for about 8 seconds before it closes and the desktop returns to normal.
Chrome webbrowser opens up as expected and closes quickly with no delay.
These were just examples but some apps and programs opens and closes fine while some seems have problems with long delays.

 

Run a reset and if the same take it back

 

Anytime you buy an OEM system, especially and HP, it should get a clean install. Backup up the swsetup if you have one, and make restore discs. After that, my next step is to always wipe the drive clean and start a clean install.

 

Thank you for your answers. consider the following options
Since the computer is new, can you return it and get your money back or have it replaced?
As a new computer it should run as good as new out of the box.

If you cannot do that, consider a clean install. Clean Install Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials
However, create a system image backup first.

If you prefer to troubleshoot the computer instead, let's see what we can do.

 

I just recently purchased two HP laptops, one for myself and one for my wife. Both machines exhibited a litany of issues until I reset them. Both brand new out of the box. Because I am comfortable doing this stuff I elected to try resetting them before returning them. My wife's laptop responded well to the reset and has been behaving ever since. My machine had a bunch of well documented Win 10 issues which I fixed with the help of Google, Regedit and Group Policy Editor. As it's been said already, try resetting the machine and if that doesn't help, return it.
