Clintons justice department went after ms. Think settled out of court for $200 million? Seems to me, ms is justified, giving it back to the consumers... I got mine....so doesn't concern me. Like to fiddle with ms junk, just something to do.... Charl

noticed, Advanced Settings page to "include driver updates.. not present here. Checked gpedit, there is this ...turn off windows update device driver search.... Charl

Have noticed some of my backups, acronis or macrium, do not work correctly. These are win 10 pro backups. my 2 cents Charl

This place I used to work at, still had a bunch of boxes running xp. Charl

some updates made win 10 not bootable, suggested use ISO win 10 installation, select repair selected repair option, fix boot problem, or startup noticed when system did boot, along with partition c:, there was now partition d:, e: win 10 ver 1607 Charl

yes, popular sites have multiple ads now Charl

utube has more bloat than 5 years ago. notice this popular utube site I frequent, may have double ads.. watching that utube video, then their video ad pops up, seems like its just before the good stuff my 2 cents Charl

wonder if its a splash image, or built into boot loader? Charl

notice when windows key is pressed along with number 1 key. edge pops up just my 2 cents Charl

me too, gonna try that out thanks

This is typical of Microsoft nowadays.... Notice on a recent build of win 10... Installed office 16 plus. Open onenote, a yellow bar displays across doc , get office 365 now. Sure is nice... Charl

complained about ads on site, couple of days back... seems like a professional is needed to help the site? Charl

I like how microsoft stuff works. Still battery problems with that surface 3, $600 wonder. Email for outlook.com is still scrabled up, some emails never get through. What a company, eh? Charl

Was wondering about that. Thought all that upgrade stuff was now stopped with a recent update. Charl

have several backups of win 10 v 1511 extreme measures of disconnecting my lan seems to be useless gpedit.msc as Noel suggested lets see if it holds could easily go back to 8.1 or 7 One reason stick with win 10, adobe suite works well when upgrade occurred, 1607, adobe suite did not work well so back to 1511 Charl

my system auto updated to 1607 yesterday, from 1511. what a mess Charl

there is a refrigerator now, that uses win 10 for its menu and controls guess its safe? Charl

just to change host file. 3 boxes must be dealt with. One box, save to doc folder. Another box, sure you want to modify this. Charl

get tired of box popping up, ''are you sure you want to....modify....change....allow.'' Just changing the host file, saves changed file in documents folder, can't save normal location. Charl

Been running win 10 pro ver 1511, since july 2015. Had some interesting experiences. While browsing with Chrome, sudden lock up, then blue screen. Restored with a 5 day old backup, same thing occurs. Its random, maybe 2 hours up, or 1 hour. That windows ''blue'' screen, would put my cpu in bios, no reboot to bios, just bios screen is up, correct the error? Did look through bios, nothing is changed. Used one of my USB stick utility's, chkdsk /f Was able to boot win 10 again. looked through critical events, did not see much, except system was shutdown improperly Think this was caused by an extension in Chrome, as running microsoft's", browser, no lock ups. This never happens on my win 7 cpus. Just my 2 cents Charl

Windows 10 is so tedious. Caused a major upset for awhile. Used several forms of Linux, mint 18 and ubuntu. Both installed easily from a usb stick. Recognized my monitors, nvidia graphics card, intel mb, cpu. resolutions, multi monitor setup was a breeze just a couple of updates after installs sure was easy... still using win 10 ver 1607 OS build 14393.51 Charl

What a mess ! ! Charl

the best money can buy, eh? even the president... charl

staying on Windows 8.1. 8.1 was a little faster than win 7, boot and shutdown Been using win 10 pro for a year now. Seems to be okay. Still think win 10 is not as good as win 7. Will give win 10 a thumbs up for handing unknown devices. Example: Have an iogear switch box for monitors. Booted 1 box win 10, second monitor was switched to other box os. 1 box showed in device manager, KVM switch (iogear), and monitor screen did display 800x600 screen. Upon switching display back to box 1, monitor screen went back to regular, device manager showed my viewsonic monitor. Some amazing stuff, as windows 7 ultimate would never do this, just show a blank screen. Charl

They're quite adept at acquiring technology then killing it off, aren't they? Remember QuarterDeck memory manager? Microsoft put it on the shelf, let it die... Charl
