What's your problem with Windows 10?
none - because i've decided to upgrade a month before that offer expires ... and even then
consider setting it up as secondary OS on another SSD for mere entertainment/bullshit
pics:
'0. & 1. what needs to be disabled in order to "get less attention"
'2. but its so easy to disable all anyway
'3. enjoy this sight after having disabled stuff (still contacting ms servers lol)
unf. i cant confirm/vouch for anything of that, since i haven't bothered to try it in the first place myself - yet " it kinda seems" obvious
just imagining how people in general will be able to disable all that shit and still might be monitored - regardless
(no need for tin foil hats - yet this trend is getting rather disgusting/dangerous ...)

Edit: you're a tin foil hat. Sorry. I really don't give a shit what Windows does to my data, I have nothing they can take from me.

Well, I'd be worried if I did business stuff on my PC, in THAT case I'd be worried about my privacy. But then Microsoft made the Enterprise editions just for that. You pay for your privacy. This is how humans work since we exist. You can refuse to pay for anything and live in the woods, but that's a public space where anyone can see you take a shit. I mostly realize this as I go to college. Go to the standard dorms and you are going to have 2-5 people in a room where anyone is free to enter and see you whenever, or pay $200 a month and live somewhere with a little more privacy.
TL;DR: You ALWAYS payed for your privacy.

it's a waste to talk to someone who has another opinion as you about privacy?
everybody can have their own opinion, right? you think if they transmit anything at all, your privacy is violated. i switched everything i could off, and if they collect a little data about what programs i used and whatnot, i honestly don't care. they can do that. i just don't see the problem there.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no point discussing privacy with someone who doesn't care, nor sees the problem - but is willing to tell you his piece of mind.
@ KA: Whats obvious to me: you don't have anything to hide, therefore you don't care, nor do you see the problem,
nor do you think any of the collected information matters, and that is, how its going to be for everyone, because you're
the only kind of user that will be having W10 - > MWHAHAHA (and anyone else, that has something to hide better use
some safe LINUX-Distro)
^ Well they don't say for nothing: ignorance is bliss. Not that i had something hide, yet I'd highly value the privacy of the
stuff thats going on in my OS (be it the stuff i'm typing and instantly deleting shortly after or just some dumb pics of something.
WITHOUT having "to turn my back" twice or thrice to be sure of it.
The whole point of my 1st post is, if you disable all the coms, yet it still will make contact with the MS servers ... wouldn't know myself whats behind that, but if that isn't worry-some one simply doesn't care. If i had Win 10 installed i'd try that at once (disabling the com-features; viewing the network connections being made with some tool - wireshark or whatever).
^ If it still were coms to a certain set of ip's were made, after simply disabling the coms off with the given options,
that would be more than just sneaky, considering how few will go greater lengths to disable that "communication".
^ Similar features are integrated in W7/8 yet by far not as many, that HIDDEN + weirdly circumscribed as in W10.
If one's interested best to look it up from some reliable sources ...

Why are you making a thread asking for opinions about something if you are going to insult people who gives their opinion? That makes no sense from a logical perspective, there are some possible answers here:
-You have a low capacity to think in a logical/analytical way.(I recommend you to read books and do some calculus operations to improve this)
-You have mental disabilities
-You are under the influence of drugs and they are affecting your cognition.
-You made this thread asking a rhetorical question and the only correct answers from your perspective are the ones who agree with your point of view, showing a closed mind and high doses of ego.
-All the previous options.

I didn't insult him. I don't find the "tin foil hat" term insulting. I didn't mean to insult anyone, I use it as a term to describe someone overprotective about their privacy. I understand the privacy concern, but there's just no way Microsoft can screw over ALL their users. Even if they are Ok on the legal side when all our bank accounts go empty and everyone is arrested for using weed outside those 4 states in the US, I'd join the people going to the Microsoft HQ to bomb them.
You just CAN'T manually go though billions of users' data, that's why I have no privacy concern with Google, either. That data is automated and used for better ads, mostly.

the only problem i have: after i connected from work to my win10 pc at home via RDP, i cannot login anymore once i am home again. i can enter my password, but then all i get is a black screen with the mouse cursor. didn't find a fix yet. so if anyone knows what the problem is, i am happy about every help. ^^
aside from that, everything's great.

Make sure your networks are not set as public (you need to enable sharing so that Windows says they are "private", kinda crappy)
Comment has been collapsed.
is that supposed to solve my problem with the black screen? ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
It will be to make sure it is not caused by your network, so you can troubleshoot further if necessary. Try it, just to make sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
sorry, i absolutely don't see the connection between RDP and whether my network is private or public. especially because the RDP connection itself is not even problematic. it works fine. i can reconnect 10 times in a row, if i want. only the local login after that is not working as intended, and as i understand it, that's purely a local problem. also, if i try that now, i am not sure if i lose my remote connection, which would be bad. ^^
but if you have some real information that this might solve my specific black screen problem, please tell me. else i guess i'd prefer to just search for this exact problem and how to solve it. :)

Well, it might appear as connecting but send no data. I don't know, that's the big difference that hit me here.
Did you come from Win 7 or 8? If it was 8, it's probably not the connection issue.

Well, it might appear as connecting but send no data.
this sounds like you think the RDP connection is not working and has the black screen. right? this is not the case. as described, the RDP connection works absolutely fine. but when i am back home, and want to login again (not via remote, locally at my pc) i get the black screen with mouse cursor and nothing else.
Did you come from Win 7 or 8? If it was 8, it's probably not the connection issue.
i don't quite understand how this would make any difference. i updated from 8.1. but how does that matter? it's not like there is code used from the older windows or something. ^^ but well, if i am right and this is just a misunderstanding, then it doesn't matter anyway. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, if you came from 8.1 I probably just misunderstood.
Comment has been collapsed.
again, i have no idea why it should matter whether i came from win8.1 or 7 or something else. with the misunderstanding i meant that you seem to think i have a problem with the remote connection itself, not after that. but ok, whatever... ;)

Not a single bug since I reinstalled my PC with Win 10, although DeadCore doesn't have sound, but it's bearable.

I love Alt-Tabbing and it's uncomfortable here xP
Because you can't go back directly to your desktop, when SECOND desktop appears so you need to do more things to alt-tab as you wish xd

Yeah, sometimes it's annoying, especially when I want to open an app when in game and I try alt-tabbing, but there's nothing there. WIN+D ftw. But I hated the mess when having 2 apps open and I tabbed too much, that was fixed for me :D

Less FPS than Windows 7 in The Witcher 3 and MGS V Ground Zeroes and a short crackling sound when I start some games (Dark Souls for example). The sound issue can be fixed by setting the game to run on Win7 or 8 compatibility mode, but in the case of Dark Souls it causes stuttering.
Comment has been collapsed.
interesting, witcher 3 runs pretty much like on win8.1 for me (actually it runs a little better, but that could be due to the latest patch). didn't try ground zeroes.

In TW3 and MGSV I'm getting like -5 FPS on Windows 10 compared to Windows 7... I should have waited a few months before updating to W10.

i actually set one or two more options to high/ultra, because i suddenly had stable 60+, while before it was more like 55-60. but again: this might be due to the latest patch.

Problem with the A6210 drivers for the wifi adapter on one of the computers. Had to downgrade back to W7 until it's rectified.
Comment has been collapsed.
from what i have read in my research in troubleshooting video drivers for windows 10, all windows 8.1 drivers are supposedly 100% compatible with windows 10.. should be able to install drivers for your wifi adapter from manufacturer website even if its win8.1 drivers instead of win10 (as long as you still get 32/64bit part of the drivers correct)..

Cunter Strike go and Team Fortress 2 is using 40 - 50 % of my cpu. (Never had this problem with windows 7 and I have high end GPU and even SSD)
Windows 10 seems to start a lot slower than windows 7, despite the fact that I did a fresh install.
In the end I quite like W10, but the 2 things I mentioned above really "Grinds my gears". I hope they will fix this some time soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
CPU use might be a result of the new DirectX 12 pipeline, which offloads a lot of extraneous processing over to the CPU. GPU and SSD wouldn't have anything to do with the pipeline transition, and I don't know anything about "fixing" this as Microsoft would probably say it's working as intended. Unless it has a negative impact on framerate I wouldn't worry about it. I've seen W10 boot much faster than my 8.1 install, but I don't remember W7 boot times, and I've upgraded to an SSD since then. If it's longer than, say, 30 seconds on an SSD I would run a system file check (SFC -scannow in the command prompt, running with admin permissions) and see if there's a file that's causing an error.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, Evil Within which I think Is much more resource intensive only consumes around 13% of CPU. TF 2 is an old game so I don't think that 30%+ CPU usage is adequate for i7 processor :(.

on my pc i kept getting the inconsistent error whenever i tried to open files that require admin rights, went to sounds, disabled the UAC sound and it solved it (yea sounds stupid i know), my mothers laptop kept giving me a blue screen, restarting, blue screen, restarting....it had to do with the built in webcam, updated drivers in the device manager and it was solved

My laptop was really a mess when I upgraded. Driver errors, really long boot up time, and the start menu/Cortana weren't working well either. But I refreshed it and everything worked fine after.

Lately I have a problem with the "eject usb" icon in taskbar, when I have a USB in my PC and then I do click in "safely remove hardware" in the eject icon, now I don't get notification or sound, directly the icon becomes unresponsive and the usb disappears from "my computer", as if I had removed the USB directly of USB port.
However from "my computer" in "right click in the USB drive and then eject" works good with the notification and sound, but from the icon doesn't work, and I've asked a friends who have also windows 10 and this problem doesn't occur to them, only me :\

I connect the USB in differents ports (2.0 and 3.0) and in all occur the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
that does kind of sound more like actual port issues or device malfunctioning, however if it is a USB 3.0 port then you may just be lacking proper drivers (yes i know odd, but i did say usb drivers).. they typically are apart of your chipset driverpack.

I have an asus maximus hero vi and I installed the lastest MME and chipset drivers but nothing. I haven't this problem some days ago with this same windows 10, maybe it is bugged after of install some windows update, I don't know.

zero issues on my 4x win8 laptops all went win10 flawlessly on both the upgrade and clean installs.. however.... my sister was the unlucky one and has a slightly older model onboard gpu (ati 6310 / apu e300 series).. seems she was having issues with the drivers, either not installing at all, or even if they installed it wouldnt allow vga-out or mp4/wmv playback.. UNTIL i installed the ati beta 15.6 drivers for 8.1.. but again, that only fixed it for 24hours & the problem is back again already (though i dont have it yet to troubleshoot again).. im guessing windows updated drivers to the broken driver again :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, most driver issues are the display ones. Luckily Nvidia and Intel were working on them and released drivers even for the preview. Unluckily some are not that lucky, like the ones with older cards (or me with my modified Asus CPU...)
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah seems ati supported even her 6310 card right upto the point that they released win10.. lol her card was supported just fine with ati drivers and win10 preview, but the final release and latest ati driverpack seems to of dropped support for her gpu generation entirely :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I would agree that it's Windows Update messing stuff up. I would try a clean uninstall of the drivers and letting Windows install them clean- it might be that some files are not being replaced properly. However, it could just be the drivers themselves are broken, which wouldn't be a huge surprise- they're probably not using the beta drivers, which could cause "This file is newer" errors in the updater and the "update" process may not work properly for going from a beta to a release candidate driver, especially a newer beta.
Comment has been collapsed.
well i havent gotten it back yet to troubleshoot again, but i did run guru3d driver cleaner prior to installing the beta 15.6 drivers, but the odd thing is the beta 15.6 is 7days older then their newest release driverpack.. they dont actually have newer beta drivers for windows10, it was a deliberate downgrade in driverpackage # because the latest release version simply stopped supporting her card entirely.. litterally only a 7day difference and they did not put her gpu generations drivers in the latest pack.. also the stock-windows drivers that update downloads work fine for basic usage, but still wont allow video out thru vga or mp4/wmv video playback.. but yeah i think "update" installed the "microsoft signed" driver again that breaks mp4 & vga out.. and with windows 10 there is no manual updates (or ignore to my knowledge)..
edit/addon>>
i totally understand microsofts reasoning behind forced updates, especially in security, but to force driver updates is just begging for issues such as this..
edit/addon2>>
my next attempt probably = modified ati drivers of some sort (omega / dna / ngo / etc..) whichever one supports her generation gpu with the newest date in hopes that its newer then windows updates version or least of all stops being overwritten by windows update version..
edit/addon3>> further research lead me here where i found u can disable driver updates.. will follow these instructions (with a 64bit driver instead) once i get the machine again to troubleshoot.. anyone that is having issues with any drivers being overwritten by windows update should check out the first few steps in those instructions...

My old sound card (old X-Fi Fatality card) decided to have issues. It would sometimes work, sometimes not. Considering those are pretty much obsolete now-a-days I just started using my on-board. I just upgraded that a year or so ago so it is probably better than the old sound card to begin with haha.

I have that same card too as my main audio card hooked to my speakers set. (The internal audio is hooked to my headset for Skype) According to Creative, drivers won't be available until next month (which might be the reason you have trouble with it) so I've been waiting on those before I upgrade. (It will also give Microsoft time to patch the most pressing issues that gets reported in the meantime.)

i've had these 3 problems:
- can't install fonts because its valid font check says everything is invalid.
- new file explorer windows cascade down and right from where the previous window was even though the previous window has been closed.
- groups from windows 8.1 start screen didn't carry over into windows 10 start menu. everything i had on the start screen just got lumped together on the start menu.
number 2 is actually the most annoying, though it took longest to figure out how to get around #1

I tried an upgrade and it failed, reverted back to win 7. Everything seemed fine until i tried to boot up the next morning, wouldnt boot and took me to a screen to do a repair of windows, tried to boot into safe mode but it kept stopping on the same .sys file. Tried to do the repair but it couldnt find an os to repair. long story short i had to reinstall windowx 7.

I had a driver issue right when I upgraded, which was annoying and the fix was surprisingly technical (I worked in IT, so I know how to fix it, since it was just clean uninstalling the drivers and letting Windows Update take over from the terrible nVidia updater, but my mother would have been completely lost) but other than one unexplained freeze in FFXIV, I haven't had any issues.

I thought it was killing my internet. My internet was getting real patchy and dropping out randomly just on my computer, so I disabled all the services junk like defender, firewall, cortana, spy-on-me.exe, but that didn't work.

So most of us installed Windows 10 (probably) when we got past our inner child rapist that has a really private life and doesn't want Microsoft scooping into his lovely 10-year old loves.
Also, people complaining about Solitaire being pay2win: PLAY THE GAME, the only ad is somewhere hidden and it never popped up or anything, I have no idea what's everyone's problem. And I've put more hours into it than I did on Civ 5 since I installed Windows 10.
When you installed, what issues did you have? None, programs, drivers? On my older laptop, it just upgraded smoothly, not even a single issue.
This new one, however, has some problems with Intel Display Audio (the Windows 8 driver is not working and the Windows 10 driver says Asus has some special shit for me, but Asus has nothing for me). So I have no HDMI audio... Which breaks my laptop turned into console habit.... I'd be grateful if you had something for me to try.
Also, here's some Particula:
