Some Things I have learned About W10

I agree. That's the general concensus.

 

Well I remember lots of bugs in W7. I never ran W8 on a machine. I never ran Vista either.
I figured you would be here soon Dougie! This seems to be the only thread getting any action.
6 pages 120+ replies, but who's counting!!

 

Hi ! I don't consider having to up date the video driver a major bug in W10. I guess it could be for a newbie W10 user, but I'm wondering if you don't turn off the driver up date option, if windows would up date the drivers. I don't know!
I'm not having that many bugs with W10. If W10 users are having problems, they sure aren't posting them here on CHF!
There will always be those that think W10 is not ready for prime time, and they love their W7, and they aren't going to up grade.
That's to be expected! I like to try new things and learn new things. Keeps my mind active and I don't get quite so bored.

 

Video issues with almost all Nvidia display cards are a known issue with Windows 10.

Yup! They are a known issue. Maybe you should blame NVidia and not MS!I don't have a answer!
Clearly, there are many benefits using automatic update. As the company can ensure that computers are always up to date with the latest features, there are fewer risks of security issues, and supporting the operating system gets a more simplified. However, there are inevitable side effects such as a recent problem with NVidia graphics drivers where a number of systems stopped working properly because of a bug in the software.

 

No....it's MS fault for writing/setting it that way under windows 10. It's constantly forcing you to update drivers you don't need or want.....which is no better than those so called driver updating programs that users use. This is mainly for us "custom builders" but for OEM users and those that don't have a clue, it's perfectly fine.

In all fairness, I haven't used it in almost a year now.... maybe I'll give it another go around when I get my SSD/Nvidia GTX 980 and see what happens.

 

Not so. But!!
Microsoft do not write drivers as a function. Drivers - the latest and the updates, are sent to them from the hardware people. They are incorporated into the Microsoft update process. This is the best compromise that MS can achieve.
This was prevalent particularly with Windows Vista. The hardware giants had not appreciated some significant differences in the advanced Kernel rewrite, and screwed up.
This led to the bad reputation of Vista and Microsoft.
But, You are correct. Microsoft should leave out the free process of keeping the user up to date, and let the users decide if they need them.

Not sure, however, looking at the common denominator if this would be suitable for the 95% basic users who know little about computer technology and usage.,

 

That's my point...not that it's a driver fault....but the fact that the driver is being forced upon the user...whether user wants it or not. There is no way to stop it.....there wasn't in the last version I was using.

If MS did that....I'd be on the window 10 bandwagon for sure.

 

Driver Signing was simply a total grab by Microsoft for total control and has caused so many headaches for users.
Lunacy some printers are useless with W10 and users have to buy new Printers.
I have the best webcam I have ever owned, expensive and on it's fully adjustable aluminum base.
Simply will not run on W10 in any mode.

 

That is always the case with hardware and a new OS and it is tough to decide whose fault it is. However that said I go back to my original thesis which is that Windows 10 does absolutely nothing Windows 7 can't do so why is it out there? And if you look at it that way that Windows 10 does nothing better than Windows 7, then the fact so much hardware doesn't work in it if that is the case then it is Microsoft's fault since all they tried to do was fix Windows 8 and that too was unnecessary for what it offered.

 

I am having a familiar issue now with Windows 7 which more than likely will be the end of this experiment. Iwent to get on Paltalk last night and it will not open. So I downloaded the newest version of Paltalk software and it too won't open. If this cannot be resolved this pc will be back to Windows 7 by nightfall.

 

Hi I have no problem getting on to Paltalk. . There was a problem when I ran W7 getting on Paltalk. After the upgrade, Paltalk worked just fine and I didn't have to do any thing different. I don't know why the push to get everyone upgraded to w10. If you don't like W10, don't upgrade. I up dated my realtec wireless driver and my AMD video. I don't understand it completely but is seems that my chip set drivers are included in my AMD driver. The big dogs say the chip set driver should be the first driver because it controls the MB. Drivers aren't that much of a problem any more. Most of them are exe. My computer language isn't the best, but you get the idea. Nice post @davehc and welcome to CHF!
Quoted from Toshiba web site!
The AMD display-driver package contains the chipset software. If things don't work out right after a clean install of Windows, it's because that was not installed as the very first thing - prior to any other driver. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utility.

The general consensus here on CHF would be 4 Maybe 5 at the most!! I know of 3

 

There are no two computers exactly the same.
Some run well with W10, some have niggling issues.
I doubt you will have issues with Paltalk with Windows7 Rich.

 

The general consensus means what experts agree on multiple Tech sites.

 

Yup! That's why they call them PC's(Personal Computer) I really don't see why W10 would be different then W7, when it comes to Paltalk, but what do I know.
Seems like I remember you were having Paltalk trouble with your new rig when you had W7 running @Rich-M
I would love to hear about the nagging issues Dougie!

 

Hi! Don't get me wrong! I'm sure w10 has some problems. I'm not saying there aren't minor problems, but I haven't see any a tech couldn't solve. I'm sure W10 will get better. I don't know how many additions of W10 were tested before the final release.
Maybe MS did get in a hurry, but I'm sure MS will get the bugs out in time. Don't get mad Dougie
Get glad!

I am not mad, Garry. I concentrate on helping member where I can with real issues.
I have not the time or the inclination to turn every thread into a discussion BLOG.
As asked before please don't call me out in your posts.
I put a mad Smilie because if you read my post I said the general consensus , not the general concensus in CHF.

 

OH OK I thought that's what CHF was all about, discussions. That's the title on this thread of which I'm the author.
I high lite all members when I want to notify them that I have mentioned them on threads. Not just you @DSTM (Dougie)
It's Gary. Just one R!

I'm not selling any thing. I'm posting things I have learned about W10. If you don't like W10, don't upgrade.
