Windows 10: Upgrade causing major grief - not fair to consumers

Since the update of 24H2 lost my sound and mic. $500 later with my professional tech they have fixed sounds but no mic -have to buy an auxiliary mic for my Zoom meetings. Confirmed a windows upgrade issue not a hard drive issue. Also since the clocks went back my clock is now wrong - cannot manually change it in settings which will affect my meeting reminders. Time zone is correct. OH MY GOD. This isn't fair and is costing me a fortune to try and have these issues solved on my brand new laptop! Is a fix on the way?

• My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)
• I am unable to install the update,
• I suspect the windows 10 need this much space and it is some kind of glitch,
• Please suggest a way to free up some space as I don't prefer to format partition C:

 

Windows 10 Slideshow causing major system lag

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



May I know the make and the model number of the system?

Which build version of Windows is installed on the computer?



This issue could be caused when the drivers are not up to date after a hardware changes, you can try the troubleshooting steps below so that we can narrow down to the root cause of the issue.



Method 1: Update graphics driver.

1. I suggest you to
   update graphics drive from device manager and check, to find the graphics driver from device manager, you can expand the
   display adapters from the device manager.
   
2. I would also suggest you to check if there are any other drivers with a yellow exclamation mark, if so, please update the specific drivers by following the steps provided in the article above.
   
3. You can also try to put the system under
   High Performance and check if that helps you, do to that you can.
   

1. Click on Start and then
   Control Panel.
   
2. From the list of displayed item under
   Control Panel click on Power Options, which takes you to
   Select a power plan page. If you do not see
   Power Options, type the word 'power' in the Search Control Panel
   box and then select Choose a power plan.
   
3. By default, the option to change power plans is disabled. To enable this, click the
   Change settings that are currently unavailable link.
   
4. Choose theHigh Performance
   option
   
5. Close the Power Option
   window.
   

Method 2: Improve system performance.



If you still face the issue, I suggest you to follow the article on

Tips to improve PC performance in Windows 10 and check if this helps you.



Disclaimer: The last step on this article contains the steps to
Reset your PC, I suggest you not to perform that step, as it will wipe the data and application on your computer.



If you still need any further help, reply to this post with more information.





Hope it helps.

Consumer Cellular - Win 10 Upgrade

I have a Lumia 640 GoPhone I am using on Consumer Cellular. It is using Win 8. 1 Denim. Upgrade Advisor tells me that I am eligible for the Win 10 upgrade but it is still telling me that they are working with the manufacturer and carrier to make it available
to me. Is there a way to force the production upgrade? Is it standard to still be waiting or has my combination of phone and carrier created a major issue? FYI, Consumer cellular uses the ATT network. Thanks
