| 1392926 | 2015-06-03 01:54:00 | It's a useful habit to learn many functions are much more quickly accessed that wayI use right click all the time - just not (till now) on the start button. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1392928 | 2015-06-04 22:51:00 | Oh dear -- Broke it again 10130 :D I know what broke it, and how to fix, but MS need to sort out the **** in the options . Had quite a few calls from customers since the "reserve icon" came out asking if its wise to upgrade (or downgrade as it is currently) to W10 when it comes out . Current advise is NO!!! If the previews are anything to go by, leave it for 6 months till MS sort out and there's lots of them- faults . Only have to look at the insider program to see its got quite a few . :( Not a good look for a OS that they are trying to force out at this stage . Even the powershell fix didn't work :( Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_ . InstallLocation)\AppXManifest . xml"} |

| 1392929 | 2015-06-04 23:13:00 | I arranged for the following to be sent round our neighbourhood news email list: Info for the non-geeks amongst us: If you run Windows 7 or Windows 8 on your PC, you have probably noticed a new icon appearing at the right end of the taskbar . Hover over it and it says “Get Windows 10” and if you click on it you get a slideshow telling you about the free upgrade to Windows 10 . Things you might like to know: • You can safely ignore the whole thing if you want . • Windows 10 will be released on July 29, and it is a free upgrade for the next year for Windows 7 and 8 users with legitimate copies of Windows . There is no Windows 9 . • It will be perfectly fine to hold off choosing the upgrade until the dust settles around the new version and any immediate issues have been fixed . • If you click the “reserve your free upgrade” button, all that does is slot your PC into the queue for upgrading, and when the time comes it will either do the whole thing automatically or advise you and wait for you to initiate it, depending on the settings on your PC . Nothing will happen until after July 29 . • I don’t know what will happen if you don’t want to upgrade, but I suspect the invitations may get a bit more insistent after July 29 . I don’t know of any way to remove the reminders, but I’m sure someone will publish one at some point . • Windows 10 looks a lot like Windows 8, but with a lot more flexibility and a proper start menu again, and you aren’t forced to use the Windows 8 style desktop unless you want to . Hope this clears up some of the questions you might have . I'm hoping it will forestall some of the calls I might have otherwise got . :) |

| 1392930 | 2015-06-04 23:32:00 | Good letter Tony :) To answer one of the points -- "I don’t know of any way to remove the reminders, but I’m sure someone will publish one at some point.' Go into windows update, on left click on "View Update history"Top of the page click the link "View Installed updates" in search, Search for KB3035583, click it, then uninstall it. Re run Windows updates manually, when KB3035583 shows again, make sure its ticked , then right click/ hide update. KB3035583 is whats prompting for W10, by removing it you wont get the prompt, if you dont hide it, then it will come back through again. |

| 1392931 | 2015-06-04 23:47:00 | One other issue. If you 'reserve' your win10, then at some stage it will automatically predownload the 3Gb Win10 . Now, most arnt going to want that slowing dowing their allready slow internet connections, imagine homes with 4 or 5 laptops/PC's. Pitty any poor sod using expensive & slow(ish) 3G/vodem connections for their laptops internet & having that try & download, fail & retry continously :-0 Could end up with a huge ph bill for excess data charges Ive reserved, but I'll uninstall that update (above) as I want a bit control on when it downloads. I'd rather just download the ISO manually . |

However I think if I'd included that info in the email a lot of eyes would have glazed over before the end of the first sentence. I'm still betting someone will publish a script or something that will do the job in one hit. |

| 1392933 | 2015-06-05 05:26:00 | I use right click all the time - just not (till now) on the start button. I was specifically referring to right clicking the start button not in general :) That's where you'll find the two items I mentioned. |
