Windows 10: Windows 10 bugs

Glad to hear it's pointed you in the right direction *Smile

 

I haven't tested more scenarios but News App froze on me a couple times. Ill test with others and see situations in which it freezes.

 

Browsing our forums, seems that some users have issues in verifying MS accounts. Here's one example. Added to list.

 

I've just verified my account... I didn't really know that it needs to be done. Does anyone know why and what purpose this has?

One can create non-MS account for W10, sort of doubt that this could cause my issue with browsing, but we'll see... Just leave some crow around.... *Wink*Wink

 

Verifying your account is a security measure. I have no issues anymore since installing the Microsoft Authenticator app on Windows Phone; when I'm asked the code on any of my four important Microsoft accounts, I launch the app on the phone which generates new codes every 30 seconds. See the tutorial at Eight Forums, step 10: Microsoft Account "Two-step Verification" - Turn On or Off




I wholeheartedly recommend the Authenticator app for anyone with two step verification enabled.

 

I have my taskbar set to autohide, it only will show when I bring the mouse down and in the green area. The red area to the left side does not restore my taskbar.

 

Thanks Kari, I'll look at that link...

So far, after the account verification and the subsequent reboot, the browser issue is still present...

 

EMET 5.0 installation fails, it cannot start the service. The event ID 1000 states, quote:

 

Did you try EMET installing it in compatibility mode?

 

I'm having an issue where when I right click on anything that's not a shortcut, then select "Properties", the Properties dialog box takes between 2 and 5 minutes to show up. I'm wondering if it's an issue because I did an upgrade from 8.1.

Gonna try a clean install tomorrow and see if I still have the issue.

 

If it helps i don't get this issue, properties box opens pretty much instantly for me (mine was a clean install)

 

Yeah, I'm thinking that and a few other issues, like Store not working and icon images taking forever to populate, are probably due to doing an upgrade. I'll whip up a clean install in the morning. Thanks for the input...seems to validate my theory a bit.

 

I was planning to do all upgrade installs (installed 10 on 3 rigs), but all failed at some level. Upgrade itself worked, old app installations OK and so on, but then I got all kind of small annoyances.

All three now fresh, clean installed, no issues.

 

Frozen start screen then memory error sign, cleared up and running again.

 

Hi there

Some streaming apps won't work - SKY GO / NETFLIX etc. These seem to rely on SILVERLIGHT for some sort of DRM validation - the streaming app says Silverlight update required but the Silverlight page reports version is up to date.

Here's an example for SKY GO (SKY TV on your computer etc over the Internet). (Sory Kari - but when you've seen a Finnish program on TV with Icelandic subtitles - almost ANYTHING ELSE to watch is better !!!!!) SKY GO works fine in W8.1 with VPN of course.

Here's the W10 problem (running on a REAL machine not a VM).

Cheers
