Have been playing around with 10 for a bit this evening on the work computer. Seems ok so far.

Jeff-Groves 08-07-15 08:04 PM

Have had 10 for days now.
No big deal.
A little faster if you shut off and remove junk.
Same old scare from past versions by past sceptics.
:nope:

If you ain't smarter then your machine? Blame the other Guy.
:haha:

Had 10 a few days now and I am finding it OK at the moment.....

Buddahaid 08-08-15 01:17 PM

Installed it last night with no problems. So far I've had to tweak a few of the sub game compatibility modes but everything still works OK.

Wolferz 08-08-15 02:35 PM

I have Win X now and I'm not impressed. It seems like it has slowed my rig down. Especially the new browser. Where I got almost INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE WITH wIN 8.1 and IE xx, now I find myself waiting seconds to change screens on this board.:-? I'll still give it a chance though.

More later when I have the time.

Sailor Steve 08-08-15 03:02 PM

I too had some problems with Microsoft Edge. They openly admit they are still working out the kinks in the new Browser. They also made it easy to back to IE, which is what I've done for the time being.

I'm also still using Classic Shell rather than the new Start Menu.

hey guys, I'm actually having trouble with sh3, whenever game gets done installing, I get an error message that gives me an error code, the code is 1628. The last time I installed I was able to get onto the game, but whenever I hit "exit game", it crashes out, and sh3 commander wont work, does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks, that seemed to work as far as getting the command line to open as Admin.

Installed windows 10 as a free upgrade to windows 7 . Works flawlessly as far as I can see .

It was an older link, I figured it was worth a shot :yep:

This is what happens...
 
When you launch a new operating system without enough Caveat Porceas to thoroughly vet all the bugs.
That or maybe I need to look at the big picture...
Give it away at the release and you get loads of willing Guinea Pigs. :haha:

I'm still coming to grips with it but, this new browser dragging its backside like a dog with no hind legs is, frankly, pissing me off!

Buddahaid 08-09-15 10:49 AM

Edge is not slow on my system. It works as fast as Chrome does.

Aktungbby 08-09-15 11:59 AM

:hmmm: :timeout: :shifty: not hearing overwhelming happiness here...reckon I'll hold off a tad on the "it aint' broke why fix it" principle till the longer heads of :subsim: have sorted out any bugs.

Onkel Neal 08-09-15 12:26 PM

Still no luck. I'm googling all kinds of processes to make this work, but it's not really worth it to me. The only reason I am interested in Win 10 is because the version of Win 7 that came with this Dell laptop is so old and slow, after years of use.

I think it is rather more a case that those who are having issues short louder and more frequently than those who don't. I don't use edge as I just don't like it. Win 10 is as fast if not faster than 8.1, I use Firefox and it is just as quick. I'm curious to the spec of machines of those finding it slow. Apart from having one game not work, until I found I could redeem my retail version for a steam version and it works out has been fine. Definitely prefer the interface over the metro style that works great for tablets and phones not for pc.

Wolferz 08-10-15 09:34 AM

Depends on your rig I guess...
 
Using Edge, for me, has been an exercise in frustration.

Web sites taking longer to translate and scrolling a page is worse than a slide show, sometimes taking thirty seconds or longer to react to one click of the scroll wheel or the directional keys on the keyboard. :down:

It did improve a little after I did some drilling and found about a dozen processes running in the background, which I shut down. but it still drags.

New and improved? Well, new maybe. I'm seriously thinking of wiping the drive and putting 8.1 and IE back.:hmmm:

Agreed. Edge needs some work. I experience the same. I will stick with it. I have wanted to stick with one OS and associated programs. I tire of having to know all the tips and tricks for Chrome, Firefox and other browsers.

Try this:

Background scrolling
Ever notice how when you hover your mouse cursor over a window and try and scroll, you still can’t, because the window wasn’t active? Turn this feature on in Settings | Devices | Mouse and Touchpad and you’ll be able to do just that.

STEED 08-11-15 06:25 AM

It's a shame Microsoft can't give it to you selecting what you want, I don't want edge and cortana. Been reading people's comments here and there and it looks like the not happy crowd are ahead but this may change in six months time, till then it's a no no for me.
