| 1427061 | 2016-10-09 03:10:00 | [wainuitech;1251955] Only you would post a link to an article that's a couple of months old, and already been fixed . That article was created in August its now October in case you don't know what month it is . Well it's the Anniversary update "Microsoft Has Broken Millions Of Webcams With Windows 10 Anniversary Update" and to make matters worse it is still being delivered here unfixed . :eek: MANY older drivers work fine - no one said they didn't . I know, so why did they take it upon themselves to fix them . I notice you still have not answered the question "Please explain then WHY in the link provided people using UBUNTU also had the same problem" relating to the cams in ASUS laptops being upside down . I have no idea, but I don't expect Microsoft to fix anything for Ubuntu . In Microsofts case they stuffed hardware that was previously working fine and I've no idea what Ubuntu has to do with it . A Decoy perhaps . |

| 1427062 | 2016-10-09 03:12:00 | yep - I will be staying with 7 for a long time yet... and so many others as well Market Share of Windows 7 Windows 7 48.27% Market Share of Windows 10 Windows 10 22.53% Market Share of Windows XP Windows XP 9.11% Market Share of Windows 8.1 Windows 8.1 7.83% That's actually fairly impressive growth for windows 10. Windows 7 took a long time to overhaul XP. Whether a new windows release is popular/good or otherwise a lot of people are always happy to stick with what they have if it is working OK. Hence XP still more popular than Linux or OS X. www.netmarketshare.com I was happy enough with 8/8.1 (puts me in the minority I know) and upgraded to 10 purely because it's free. Out of 4 PC's I personally upgraded I have had Zero issues. If everyone who didn't have a problem posted that on forums you might get a different impression of how popular it is because the truth is it's those who have issues or don't like it who tend to want to make sure everyone knows about it. Windows 7 is a great OS and sticking with it is a perfectly valid personal choice, that doesn't automatically make 10 bad. |

There's plenty of time OS's like Linux, previous working hardware now doesn't, but your to blind to see that . Since you hate Anything Microsoft with such force, every problem is Microsoft causing, when in fact its not . Seems you have nothing better to do than rubbish other OS's . ALL your comments relating to Windows does nothing but seek to hijack what ever the post is about with your own hatred . Here's a challenge - Why not go onto Microsoft site/forums and start rubbishing there ? |

Yep, that's like theres very few people who call up and say their computer is running fine, but just calling to say so. Had several call saying There's nothing wrong with the computer, But wanted some advise on other matters, like what software would work best for what they wanted to do, or wanted new printers etc. |

| 1427065 | 2016-10-09 04:26:00 | Yes, I have not had a problem with any W10 updates. Runs sweet and fast, like SWMBO when I am chasing her around the house. :) Ken |

| 1427066 | 2016-10-09 06:09:00 | wai my wife is getting p***ed off with W10 and it's sublime updates f***ing up her pc and she is not one to swear, rofl. You gave me the fix for the W7 games and everything was going just fine, they sat at the top of the start menu, latest downloads, an update last evening "under cover of darkness", there must have been an update and it threw those games to goodness knows where. Well I managed to do a fix and put shortcuts on the desktop, where one presumes they will be saaafe from prying MS. Thanks again for that original fix. lurking. Ps. as a matter of interest, programming in Lotus Symphony an upscale of Lotus123, I learn't from scratch for a great number of accounting records. Today, 30 years on, I would not have a clue with MS spreadsheets/databases, costings, etc. lurks. |

| 1427068 | 2016-10-09 22:15:00 | Eight PC upgrades I have done in the past year - XP, Win7 and Win8 - all running very well on Windows 10. Maybe a couple of them had to repeat close down and restart once, but I'm very pleased that MS did such a good job of catering for several variations of previous software and multitudinous variations of hardware. I suspect that some so-called "problems" stem from the user's inability to use the internet to research the wealth of explanations and instructions regarding Windows 10. Yes, Win10 is new but the answers are all out there waiting to be found - and thanks Wainuitech for your contributions to the wealth of knowledge! | coldot (6847) | ||
| 1427069 | 2016-10-09 22:18:00 | I'm really liking Win 10. I only started using it a month ago when I bought a new laptop. It's a bit of a learning curve if you've come straight from Win 7 and missed Win 8/8.1 (like me), but already Win 7 looks old fashioned and is really slow in comparison. The only things I don't like about Win 10 is the built in mail app - which while 'pretty' has been dumbed down to include so few functions that it makes it almost useless (especially if you have quite a few mail accounts). I also don't like the way Windows Updates are forced upon you, with no option to review them before installation, and no option to choose what you do and don't want. The only option is to uninstall them after the event if they happen to cause a problem, but I'm thinking that they will only reappear and re-install the next time WU checks for updates. Other than that it's great. | catspyjamas (15614) | ||
| 1427070 | 2016-10-09 22:23:00 | I didn't like the mail app either, so installed Thunderbird, which I find suits me much better. Give it a try you might like it. | Pato (2463) | ||
