So far no problems⌠but I did a fresh installâŚ
Trying out VC2015 Ultimate retail nowâŚ
will get around to some .netmf stuff soon I hope
After a fresh install, Iâm finally back in action. No problems going that route. The upgrade didnât work at all, though. I did the upgrade using the beta bits on another computer and a tablet w/o any problems. So, I was not expecting even a hiccup today. This whole day was wasted. But, at least I now have Win10 running. Now if I could just get my user account associated with the correct Microsoft account⌠
@ ianlee74 - I did manage to update smoothly from my desktop pc at home, which had build 10074 still. I was happy that it let me keep all my installed apps. I was a little nervous after reading about your experience.
I installed Windows 10 Ultimate N on my laptop (it was the only version I could download yesterday, and I was impatient!) - but I donât know where to download the free-but-not-included-in-N-versions media pack⌠any idea?
I tried to update my laptop from windows 10 build 10240 (which was a fresh install) to build 10586, and I had the same failures as my update attempts before. (via windows update, or any other method, even after several âwindows update problemâ fixes tried)
Windows update would go through all the motions, download the update, try to install it, reboot a few times, get at least as far as 86% before rebooting again back to 10240 with a âWas not able to install all updatesâ and âSomething went wrongâ messages, but no actual informative information.
I had to do yet another fresh install.
Does anyone have any more insight on these windows update problems?
Similarly, even with the fresh install, Windows âEdgeâ still has massive problems. It will work initially, then after a short while, it canât find the internet at all, even though IE will, or chrome if I install it. Itâs baffling. Fresh install, downloaded from Microsoftâs MSDN downloads.
I have no idea if these two issues are related, but they are darn frustrating. Iâm not using any bizarre hardware, just a standard Dell L702X laptop. It -is- dual booting with Windows 7 on the same SSD, but that shouldnât matter.
The only thing unusual about my laptop is that I replaced the wireless card from a wireless-G one to a wireless-AC one.
I am seeing similar issues with the upgrades. I get partial and then an error and try again. Took about 3 attempts to finally get it.
Not impressed too much with it just now as Windows Explorer often does not show the icons for each file type and often crashes Explorer every so often. They also went and set the default for PDF to Edge without consent, again not impressed by this.
It seems to hammer the hard drive a lot. I often see 97 to 100% in task manager for drive access and the LED is on full. This causes lots of slowness when you want to do any file based tasks. If I check which service is doing this it shows as system. I have 12GB of RAM so I am sure it is not a swap issue.
Overall I like Windows 10 but there are a few kinks that bug me. 
I can only admit that you are right. I canât update at least 75% of my PC from 10240 to 1511, Virtual or phisicalâŚI have no special drivers or hardware attached ⌠Win 10 Setup is one the worst ever made by MS. No info, no debug, nothing to understand whatâs going on.
On a very basic ASUS motherboard PC, I could update it just underclocking 1600mhz DDR to 1333Mhz ⌠What damned thing means that??? ⌠Setup mostly fails on Vmware Workstation/Fusion too.
