Windows 10: The most ridiculous Windows after WinME and Vista

KasperKyd, I sympathize with you. It is truly frustrating to encounter so many problems with a new OS.

What I have found through painful experience is that the “awesome” desktop I put together employing the best possible components I could find at the time of the build, was a nightmare upgrading to Windows 10 and then maintaining stability. It was only after days of effort and using every trick I could think of and along with the wonderful assistance from forum members that I finally got Win 10 working properly on my desktop.

Conversely, I had absolutely no problem upgrading three different brands of laptops. The laptops were vanilla without any of my “improvements” differentiating them from my desktop. Each has been stable and runs like promised.

Now, after all of my pains, I am pleased with the operation of Windows 10 in all of my computers.

Having said this, I also criticize Microsoft for releasing Windows 10 with so many bugs still inherent in the OS. Not all users are technically expert or do they have the time to expend the effort required to make the OS work on many systems. After all, most people buy a computer with the thought that IT WILL WORK PROPERLY when first plugged into the wall. The same is true when a major player in computing releases a new operating system. Windows 10 has been a disappointment to many.’

It is not my purpose to be presumptuous with you but I suggest you recheck your drivers and app compatibilities. Windows 10 is a very good OS. If you can make your system work with it, you will be the winner in the end.

From a cost standpoint, the purchase price of this “free” upgrade cannot be beaten.

 

I keep hearing people talking of these 'bugs'. I myself have come across some of them, but they are so extremely minor as to be a non-issue. For example, in Edge, if you are on the new tab page (with all the news feeds), and you open one in a new tab, and open another in a new tab, the new one replaces the other one you had opened instead of just opening a total of two. I only experienced this once, thus a minor bug.

What major bug is there? My OS runs very smoothly provided the manufacturer is providing the right drivers.

 

I still think theirs a few little bugs.....but nothing real serious for me. I still think edge sucks.....until they make it a lot better, I will never use it. *Smile

 

I for 1 is starting to like Win10. At first no. I had Win7 and did the update and nothing but problems, mainly with DRIVERS. I reverted back to Win7 for about a month, waited until new drivers came out and did a clean install. Running dual boot with Win7 and ZERO problems. I haven't even touched 7 since the reinstall. The main issues I was having was the sound, as others was having. Running SB XFI Extreme. My system is about 6 years old home built rig with a ATI HD5870 card and none of the video problems as others are having. Again, DRIVERS,DRIVERS,DRIVERS. You must get the right drivers and listen to people on this forum. The small problems that I had, was solved by asking and searching this forum.

 

Drivers and HW in good working order !!

 

I like Windows 10 and think it is one of the best versions of Windows. I have been using Windows since Windows 1.0 or 2.0 (it's been so long I forget which one).

The most unwelcome and confusing version of Windows would have to be Windows 8.0. Gone were familiar buttons, menus, procedures, etc. A difficult learning curve for the average user. Windows 8.1 fixed a lot of this mis-step. After all of this near fiasco, Windows 10 is most welcome.

 

Windows 1.0 was never released, 2.0 was for testers mainly, 3.0 was first "real" Windows, 3.11 best of series (not counting NT). Quite a way Windows evolved !!!!

 

My PC is dual core and windows 10 is very fast on it, I love Windows 10!

 

yeah I am totally agree with u

windows 10 have lots of bugs in windows update and cortana
it shows me lots of time cortana and start menu not working EDITED please sign out
windows update dont allow user to select specific update and speed

open vpn tap driver bugged alot and sucks
i m using windows 10 but downloading windows 7 back and soon i will install it again

there is no such big security improvment in windows 10
just like seen in windows 7 vs win 8 that time
they block running of malware from command prompt in windows 8 and windows 8.1
so 40-45% of malware in the world doesnot work on windows 8 and 8.1 and 10 also

win 10 needs more security and privacy

it sucks in privacy , I used some tool to boost privacy but win 10 bugged then
win 10 is a spy
it allows laws enforcement direct acces to ur all private folders and data

german spy software like Finfisher and many already find the way to hack windows 10 easily
and so EFF's Detekt tool fails to find such malware and spyware on windows 10

windows 7 tool only 7 mins to install while windows 10 took 20+ mins to clean install
and upgrade of win 7 to win 10 which i had done tool 3+ hrs to comlete
while i had only 20 softwares install on that windows 7

windows is a spy and second WinME 2000 and win vista
sucks a lot
bye bye windows 10
better wait for few months for windows 11

 

Few months ???? I don't think so.

 

Nothing wrong with windows 10 so some have a few problems which we try to help them with.
Also Windows 11, who told you that.
Read the forum there is not going to be a windows 11.
Windows 10 will be updated all the time,
So good luck waiting for 11

So noticed you are a new member.
So you have not probably read that there is not going to be another windows.
10 will het upgraded all the time.
Read the News at the top it will tell you when the next big upgrades are coming.
I at first was afraid to upgrade, but once my laptop received the latest software from the makers and I got notified I was good to go, I upgraded and I don't ever regret doing so.
It should be goodbye IE11 as Edge Browser 100% better.

 

I saw in news win 10 will get upgrade but MS will release new ISO then right for DVD and for online online download tool
i think waiting will worth me

i m new on tenforum but I am very very old on sevenforum & eightforum ( many many years) name is PratikRa****ar on those sexy sights

 

Yes but will never get called windows 11
They will I think do like they did with 8 later and call it 10.1 then 10.2 if there is an 11 don't think it will be in our lifetime.

 

I've read this thread and found a recurring pattern in this forum: handful of people swarming on OP with condescending replies, to put it mildly. In my book, this is called lynching, and I would warn every single one of you if I was a board admin.

#Postcount and #circle-jerking have dedicated threads. Everywhere else, think before you post.

OP clearly had no need for "mine works perfectly" shouts, you should have ignored the thread and move along.

On topic:
Original Install Date: 11/08/2015, 4:00:51
I had Windows 10 working perfectly (for my system) for about a month.
Lately, without any new software or driver installs, I can feel performance degrading:
- boot times increased with a large, consistent interval
- programs launching are sluggish
- exclusive full-screen 3d games, real-time audio recording, network performance slightly degraded
- even Ctrl+Alt+Del is delayed, the "Preparing security option" intermediary screen was not visible before
There is no other suspect but subsequent Windows Updates.

The thing is, I'm a power user. I've fought with every thing I've got the "features" I dislike, mainly telemetry and all the other internet-enabled stuff. This is where the ridiculous part comes: If I revert most of the tweaks I've done, I regain some of the original snappiness. So I'm being forced by Microsoft to "play nice and give them my data" or have less performance than the hardware (and the OS!!!) is capable of.

I might need to take a different approach, as a corporate environment is less affected, but for a stand-alone desktop/laptop this requires quite some work (either adding another PC or faking the environment).

Since it's not a huge degrade, I'm willing to live with it atm, but I understand why others like the OP might get really pissed.

 

I agree with the top part about the start menu having some minor bugs, but not about privacy and security: Privacy and Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

You want more privacy? Then you'll need to go through and disable the things that you think are taking that away, such as the location feature. These things are beneficial to many people, but if you're that concerned about remaining anonymous, I might suggest you stay off computers entirely. MS stated they do not use that info to identify you. If you don't believe them, use something else.

Windows 8.1 security DID improve over 7, actually, and Windows 10 is JUST as good as 8.1, if not better (I just haven't heard any specifics about anything new). The only spy is in your head, mate. But you don't have to stick with 10, that is not my point. So many people seem to throw a fit any time the least amount of change happens. So they just make noise about points that they really didn't research to get people on board with their views. To what end?

Use it, or leave it. Need help with it? Get it. Want to voice your concerns? Tell Microsoft! Yes, there are MINOR bugs. But most people seem to believe that the driver issue they are having is the direct responsibility of MS, as if they have to go through thousands of drivers + and code each one themselves. Or somehow their basic generic driver should be a one size fits all perfectly. It just doesn't work like that.
