| 1385310 | 2014-10-02 20:54:00 | Yep, its designed so it cant be turned off. From windows-10-tech-preview-keep-these-7-things-in-mind.html (www.pcworld.com) Last sentence #3 In addition, Windows Update will be set to automatically install important updates on your PC as they become available. “You won’t be able to turn off automatic updates in Windows Technical Preview,” |

| 1385311 | 2014-10-02 21:37:00 | It appears Windows 10 has removed support for floppy drives. I was wondering when that would happen. :thumbs: | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 1385313 | 2014-10-03 22:59:00 | Hey Wainuitech. I have been playing with this as dual boot on my laptop. One thing I can't change is the way updates are done. I like to set mine to download but let me install. The option to change this is grayed out. Yes I am the admin.. Thanx in advance.. Windows Update will be set to automatically install important updates as they become available. You won’t be able to turn off automatic updates in Technical Preview, but you will be able to choose between a fast or slow update cadence. To change when preview builds are installed, open PC settings, click Upgrade and recovery, click Preview builds, and then click Change the time my PC installs preview builds |

| 1385314 | 2014-10-03 23:45:00 | So far its working fine on my old laptop as well, apart from the fact it doesn't want to install the AMD graphic Drivers. But the default MS drivers are working fine. Had one minor BUG / Hiccup Hmmmmmm Went into This PC, and enabled desktop Icons,- The thing went all nuts for a second - Had a desktop FULL of Multiple "This PC" icons :illogical Unticked the option from change desktop icons and re ticked, it then came back to the one it was meant to have. Bit of fun :) |

| 1385316 | 2014-10-03 23:53:00 | I had a problem like that once on XP IIRC, had about 6 "My Network Places" or something, for about 10 seconds | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1385317 | 2014-10-04 00:04:00 | I'll be interested to see what's different from windows 8 other than the cosmetic changes to the start menu/screen. So far it doesn't seem that different. What you're seeing is an early Technical Preview version for business, primarily for desktop/mouse/keyboard users It shouldn't seem that different. People complain when things are different like the Win8 Start Screen and moan about it. There are a bunch of under the cover features in Windows 10 around enterprise-grade security, identity and information protection features simplified management and deployment etc that are in there, that you can't really "see" More Windows 10 features will be announced at a later date, but Technical Preview offers several key features and experiences today: • Expanded Start Menu: The familiar Start menu is back providing quick one-click access to the functions and files that people use most, and includes a new space to personalize with favorite apps, programs, people, and websites. • Apps run in a Window: Apps from the Windows Store now open in the same format that desktop programs do. They can be resized and moved around, and have title bars at the top allowing for maximize, minimize, and close with a click. • Snap enhancements: Working in multiple apps at once is easier and more intuitive with snap improvements. Have up to four apps snapped on the same screen with a new quadrant layout. Windows will also show other apps and programs running for additional snapping and even make smart suggestions on filling available screen space with other open apps. • New Task View button: The new task view button on the task bar enables one view for all open apps and files allowing for quick-switching, and one-touch access to any desktops created. • Multiple desktops: Instead of too many apps and files overlapping on a single desktop, it’s easy to create and switch between distinct desktops for different purposes and projects—whether for work or personal use, or both. |

| 1385318 | 2014-10-04 00:07:00 | Just installed it on my home PC. A couple of glitches. Setup didn't like the D-Sub that my monitor was using . Plugged in a DVI cable and all was well. The other problem was setting up my old Brother HL1440 printer. Had to ask the setup to look in Windows Updates for the driver. It found it and installed OK. Downloaded Office 2013 to try but when I put in the 60 day key code it gave an error message and now I only have 30 days.. Overall it was a quick and painless setup. I suspect that Windows 10 will be the new Win XP or Win 7.. All hardware was recognized and works.. Edit. Now it's doing 2.5Gig of updates.. |
