Wife and son tell me that the latest update has knackered their laptops. Anyone else?

[Crazycarzowner]

I've run it since it came out and had no problems, but others on here seem to have

No problems with Windows 10, just the latest (ie. today) update.

[STEMO]

Although win 10 is a good os, the fact that you have to jump through hoops to enable system restore, and you can't boot into safe mode is a pain.

I went on the lads laptop and uninstalled the update, it seems better but slow. Wifey's work laptop is not even showing the update and now won't connect to the router even though it says it has. Sigh.

mmm mine has not updated anything since 18/12/15 - Cumulative update and v1511 -  and insists it is fully up-to-date at the moment ..

yes you can ... 4 different ways ..

I accept you can't force it to do so on boot .. but there is a simple reason ..

"If you have modern PC with a UEFI BIOS and a fast SSD drive, there's no way you can interrupt the boot procedure with your keypresses. On older PCs, with a classic BIOS and no SSD drive, pressing these keys might still work though."

Tis a worry, Nige, but fortunately not my worry. There are no banking apps or anything else much to worry about on their computers, I look after that side of things.

Yeah, you can fiddle with it, but it's not 'just there' like win 7.

TBH, I get so frustrated with the other two, who are committed 'button pressers' before the computer has finished what it's doing, that I tend to let them get on with it.
When I ask what they did before anything happened, the answer is always "Nothing".

They all say that

Steve - I would imagine that during install they thought it had stalled but you have to keep your eye on "task view" in bottom left side of screen, click on that to get back to what is in progress so you avoid restarting mid stream. I just bought a new laptop on Saturday and I thought at first I was going to have problems but fortunately not, installed office 2016 from my 365 account no problem.

[Broomies Mate]

I cant say it, because it's just not fair.


Oh, OK, yes I can.


Anybody who is struggling to install Windows 10, is a complete fucktard.  Anyone who installs Windows 10 and suffers a slow-down is a complete fucktard.

Back on Win 7 ...Couldn't get Win 10 to run properly on my laptop, If i could justify it i'd buy a MacBook Pro in a heart beat.... But the way I would spec one out it would cost just over £2,500  ....

That's interesting.  A basic MacBook Pro would beat the shit out of a £2k 'IBM Compatible' laptop.

Trust me, you don't need 16GB RAM or the latest processor.  They just fly.......
