Vondy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 We've upgraded two of the computers (laptops) in our office to Win-10. These are, mind you, laptops that are running CAD. To my surprise, they are running smoothly, the employee's who have it like it, and they don't get bogged down (much). They are laptops, after all. That said, my computers are still running Win-7.

Marcus Impudite Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 This illustrates that, if you're planning to stick with Windows 7 long term, you need to permanently disable updates ASAP. It should be abundantly clear by now that Microsoft can't be trusted and will continue to play dirty pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnStrawberry Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Those update notices do seem to be getting more aggressive. Will I wake up one morning and find 'Congrats! You now have Windows 10!' waiting for me? Will it start talking to me in Robert Vaughn's voice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Possible. I do believe there's a registry fix you can do to eliminate the oncoming horde. I'm still using 10. As an OS it's great.Though I shudder to think of the poor sap going through my data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Baker Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Steve Gibson made a free utility to take care of this. You can get Never 10 over at GRC.com. https://www.grc.com/never10.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 As an aside to Windows10 fun... If you're using a laptop (make/model seems to be irrelevant) and upgrade to Win10 they've had a habit of not coming out of sleep mode, requiring a hard reboot. I've found several fixes messing with power/sleep settings, but if that all fails downgrade (or install) Intel Management Engine 9.5; there seems to be a almost-universal issue with v11 and Win10 on laptops and waking from Sleep... Also, UAC has to be on for some rather basic apps (calculator) to be on, Win10 generally borks itself without it. Setting to the lowest setting is all that's needed.

Old Man Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 What's funny is our craptastic internal software won't work if UAC is on. So I have a group policy to force it to be off companywide. Which is already a big security risk, but now it also breaks half of Windows 10. Meanwhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much every version of Windows, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 That's pretty much every version of Windows, isn't it? Really? I have Windows 7 on mine and I've never had any such problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Actually, 7's a lot better. But pretty much every prior version has been a bit fussy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Meanwhile, I upgraded my office Mac today from Mountain Lion to El Capitan, because I got notes saying that the ML-compatible versions of some software would no longer be supported as of Real Soon Now, and it is the university's machine and their software that I use. I have no music on that machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two laptops on 10 haven't had this issue, but I use them fairly rarely, so it's possible they've never slept on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I have an ultrabook (used infrequently) and a Surface Pro 3 (used quite frequently), and neither one has issues with waking up from sleep. Both are currently Windows 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Are they upgraded or Windows 10 native? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Are they upgraded or Windows 10 native? Everything that's running Windows 10 at my house is upgraded. The ultrabook started out as Windows 8 Home, Surface Pro 3 as Windows 8.1 Pro. Two desktops have also been upgraded in my house. The primary (a Core i5) started as Windows 7 Home Premium, received a free upgrade to Windows 8 Home, a paid upgrade to Windows 8 Pro (for Media Center), an upgrade to 8.1, and then Windows 10 Pro. The other computer (an original-release Core 2 Duo), came with a Windows Vista Ultimate license, which was immediately converted to Windows 7 Home Premium, and lived that way until an upgrade to Windows 10 Home. It's a household music server (using Asset UPnP) and occasional TV recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
