helpdesk98 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just to see I setup a Windows Server 2008 as a Windows Deployment Server just to see if there was any change. I only noticed the white rounded edges when certain dialog were opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Jorge A reminded me of something I observed but forgot to mention before: System Restore gets shut off by the stupid 10586 in-place downgrade! -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeA Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I created the boot image using Windows Server 08 R2. Could that have anything to do with it? FWIW the same dialog box showed up for me when I was installing 10586 over my borked Win10 system yesterday. Looked exactly the same as yours. --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 may I ask, why the fuck people use this OS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 may I ask, why the f*** people use this OS ? I only run it in a VM to make sure I know it inside and out. And as you're probably aware, I've not been too impressed by what I see. I'm a reasonably knowledgeable computer geek. Most folks probably don't have the experience or insights I have and I imagine they feel either they have to keep up with what Microsoft wants them to be doing or they'll fall out of date and ultimately end up in a "can't work" scenario. How many people, for example, know enough to decide when (not to mention how) to stop allowing Windows Updates? If you allow them to continue then Microsoft continues to load it's garbage into your older system and you end up with something that ultimately either doesn't work or practically morphs into Windows 10 anyway. Not to mention that sooner or later most will get tripped up (or worn down) by the reappearing "Get Windows 10!" updates. It takes all my skills and even then a little luck to continue to run my Windows 7 and 8.1 systems for the time being, instead of taking the "free upgrade to Windows 10" path. When these truly become unmanageable - probably in 5 years or less - I'll probably switch to the Linux realm. Change is inevitable. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 may I ask, why the f*** people use this OS ? I echo pretty much everything @NoelC said in his reply... at a much lower level of expertise. Running Win10 basically to keep up with the latest outrages ideas Microsoft is pushing for Windows. --JorgeA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 A lot of people use it because the only way they know to buy a computer is go to a retail store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 "A lot of peaople..." * * "Most people..." These are called Consumers that swallow any swill that they have been hornswaggled into partaking in without fully investigating the side effects. One poor sucker on twitter has the sadz over WinX Upgrade and wants to revert back. He was informed that if lucky and hadn't waited too long / deleted his "uninstall" he could back out. Never trust a snake oil salesman. You may be getting snake venom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudwS Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Booting the computer is not a task. The operating system is there to facilitate tasks, not be one. -Noel The facilitation of 10240 to 10586 has been and still is a challenging task for my guest Windows 10 in VB 5. I wonder if there has been a change in which some device drivers 10586 update has "black listed?" 10240 went through the "installing drivers, etc section" and completed the installation. However, 10586 balks in that section and now says there are driver issues that didn't exist in 10240 and stops the ugrade. I wonder why I don't get the option to "continue" so I can deal with drivers after the update completes? Tasked with having fun with the Windows 10 merry-go-round. My techieness is challenged by a simple(???) software upgrade. Probably just techless, a slippery slope. Well, it's winter so slippery slopes should be fun unless you're driving a vehicle or walking or updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Trouble upgrading a system that previously supported the OS is known in polite circles as... Epic Failure Unfortunately, I'm way past being polite about the dogs*** that Microsoft is trying to smear all over us. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudwS Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 10240 to 10586: I got the Activated Win 10 10240 to update to 10586 with one of the iso options, however the Activation was lost in the process????? Got the message to buy a new key to Activate. With VirtualBox Snapshot, I'll go back to Win 7 and try again using the 10586 iso or by now the Flagged update is probably 10586. Glad I grew up on a farm so dogs*** is just a way of life. Makes me long for the country life. Oh, I live in the country so everything is OK.

BudwS Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Is there a way to know what the 10586 version/sub-version is that replaced the version that this thread is tracking? Or does the "fixed" 10586 have the same issues being tracked? I wonder if the 10586 iso that downloaded last week using the MediaCreationTool is the "fixed" 10586? It destroyed(lost the activation) my activated Win 10 when it did the update????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 I thought only the ISO was pulled, not the update itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This page, near the bottom, gives a bit of insight as to the post 10586 patches... http://www.infoworld.com/article/3012221/microsoft-windows/mysterious-new-windows-10-version-1511-patch-kb-3122947-fails-to-install-with-error-0x80070643.html Things seemed rational until after cumulative Update 4, KB3116908. Last night I installed KB3122947 (which took doing what the above-linked article suggested to get done successfully), and lo and behold I'm still showing 10586.17. Things are out of control to say the least. I liked Woody's last line in that article. -Noel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
