| 1403065 | 2015-06-30 10:10:00 | Thanks WT and linw. I am signing in with my Microsoft account. They asked me to start doing that some days ago. A forced update check can't be done in W10 can it? Updates are always on? Time will solve the problem, no doubt. Maybe tomorrow. |

| 1403066 | 2015-06-30 10:13:00 | Edge appears to be working slowly , it froze a few times, and after several reboots sites started working, all but slowly. Looking at the HDD light there was no odd activity suggesting something happening in the background. With Edge -- Cant change the default home page, goes through the process, then opening edge it "hangs" and reverts back to the default. The Whole OS actually feels slower than the last official build. Looking at the insider forum, lots of people are having all sorts of problems still. |

Yep you can manually run it, click start/Settings/ Updates Same place you change from slow -fast ring, top option should be a button to manually check. |

| 1403068 | 2015-06-30 10:47:00 | The update page had a message "we could not install updates because your computer has been turned off" or similar. Which is odd, because it has been on for the last three or four hours on W10. except for the occasional reboot. Anyway, there was a Retry button, so I clicked on that, and it started checking for updates. At the top of the list was "fbl_impressive professional 10158", (???!!!) which is now downloading, all 3GB of it, judging by the percentage shown now. |

Thats it -- just let it run, it does everything on its own ( or meant to) :) At the end you have the option to delay the automatic reboot. Shutting down - then on starting will carry on -- Allow an hour for completion ( depends on PC specs etc) |

| 1403072 | 2015-06-30 13:07:00 | I have now removed W10 because I need the computer to work on. I tried it for a couple of weeks and found the following:- Likes: Stable, fast booting. Compatible with most software. Supports DOS (with an app) Dislikes: Ugly plain interface. Start menu is a mess. Web browser Spartan hardly works, has no extensions and very few settings. I never liked IE, but it is far superior. When set for Fast Boot, Windows fires up when the lid is open, annoying if you wish to access the CD or Bios. I wouldn't pay for W10 or W8. W7 does everything I want, and never gives trouble which is not of my making. |
