Used to boot in 15 seconds, now one could have a cuppa, at least shutdown is about 5 seconds. Should get the Ruskies to test their software, like they do with elections. |

| 1455012 | 2018-10-30 05:26:00 | Honestly, that means nothing at all. A bit like saying : I drive drunk, never crashed & never been caught :) Plenty have had serious issues. Not everyone, but plenty of people. 1809 was so bad MS withdrew it within a few days . MS fired most of the testing staff for updates. What they are doing is using the public(insiders) to test updates for them . And again & again , bugs reported by insiders arnt being fixed before the updates are released So its now a crap shoot as to what issues windows updates will have. Climb down, my comment has merit because Speedy said it will crash HP's as it affects HP computers. It does not, it might affect some HP laptops but certainly not all of them |

| 1455013 | 2018-10-31 07:12:00 | I don't update W10 any more, I hardly ever use it. I use Mint most of the time with no hassles at all. I also have W7 in a virtual machine hosted by Mint which I often use instead of W10. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1455014 | 2018-10-31 22:05:00 | Win10 auto update can be annoying, at times. How nice if we can choose to update as and when we feel like it, just like older versions of Windows. |

You can, as long as you have the professional version. The problem is most home users and lots of businesses ONLY have the cutdown less options Home edition, this is what's brought in the toaster shop PC's. What all the bells and whistles upgrade to Professional. :) |

| 1455016 | 2018-11-01 00:41:00 | Win Pro lets you delay feature/build updates (untill well tested out in the wild) , thats quite usefull. Win10 (pro & home) doesnt give full control over updates . They'll come in eventually, wanted or not. You have to hack or use 3rd party tools for that www.tenforums.com |

A friend has a fancy HP laptop which cost her about $3,000, It had Windows 10 Home in it! For that kind of money I would expect Windows 10 Pro. I upgraded it. |

| 1455019 | 2018-11-01 19:46:00 | The home/pro thing is just a scam from MS to make more money Pro users are usually server connected, so they are allready paying more for server user licences . MS is effectively charging them twice, 4x if using Terminal services If Pro was really buseness orientated by MS, and they DIDNT force games & non business crap in via updates, then maybee they could justify its extra cost. |

Actually only some of that's correct (the games part). Windows Pro has several options that home doesn't. Home cant do the following: Can't Join A domain or Azure (which a Business may have setup) Joining a Domain Server is totally different to a workgroup ( you would know that) :) Doesn't have Group Police Management Doesn't have bitlocker Doesn't have Device Guard Doesn't have Remote Desktop ** Also doesn't have other settings that Pro Does have (Adjusting Updates to name just one) **Remote desktop- Home can log into a remote desktop, either TO Pro, or TO a server, BUT you cant log into a home remote desktop, if you go into Settings > System > Remote Desktop, .theres a message saying your Home is not capable. If you want remote you either have to use Quick Assist ( that works both ways on Home) but you have to manually enter codes each time, or a third party program Like TeamViwer if you want unattended. |
