    The first thing whenever going to try out any newer version or other new OS is not to have anything on in first place not knowing if the new will be buggy and need replacing even multiple installs in order to get working correctly. The average seems to suggest about 66% buggy to 33% smooth sailing at first.

    Other problems as a result of being the brand new release are to be expected as time will gradually see the necessary updates patch things up. And that seems to be the average findings for 10 so far. With the better half's shaky upgrade from 8 to 8.1 not actually being any concern note since a clean fresh install of 77 still saw a Buggy upgrade to 10 out of the two desktops and laptop seeing 10 given the test the second desktop with light use only since built as a spare, remote, and test this or that on type of machine saw 10 go as smooth as silk!

    The first desktop already had seen the two storage drives see boot files and temp installation folders end up in wrong places as well as leaving traces from the multiple fails behind immediately resulted in the need for a clean install that was actually put off during the first week with the second upgrade install used to repair the first. That wouldn't activate however at the time which was the first week 10 was out.

    The second desktop saw the clean install go on before the upgrade to rule out the hype about being able to simpy take 10 around and toss it on anything without worry about the need to upgrade first. That was suspected as flawed thinking from the start and simply confirmed when the clean install wouldn' activate until the upgrade took place over the existing 7 Pro install. 10 couldn't connect by WiFi however since no 8.1 driver even was available for the usb adapter used to connect and sync with the router.

    As for the icons being spread over the task bar that is determined by the grouping or not grouping or not combining icon when in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properites screen. You click on the taskbar buttons option to choose which option you want and then the apply button to put into effect for that.

    The default setting was apparently changed with the hoo blah of problems coming up on you explaining why that happened.

    Ok first off, that task bar thing was never changed and its the same as it always has been and should be.

    Secondly I have a new symptom!

  3. Well if the 10 install came out buggy the bugs are now revealing themselves! I think you are going to end up seeing a clean install take place since something didn't go on right! I saw a similar problem with the laptop I upgraded resulting in a problem soon to be replaced however by the clean install I was expecting would be needed anyways!

    The symptoms there resemble a bit too much "buggyness" as it could be called. More like "Buggy Mess"! While the settings may have been found to combine taskbar buttons for example that's not how 10 is acting there! And when I showed you what to look at and you found it the way it should be that only further sums things up. I know it's a royal pain but the unfortunate necessity at this point. The ghosting of a new popup window only goes to further illustrate the continual problems you will see until the fresh install of 10 is seen to in order to clean all that up!
