Wymsey Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 By files do you mean programmes as I have no personal stuff on there. I have stuff life ms office 2000 and paint shop pro etc If you don't use them, then it might be worth deleting MS 2000 (!) and paint. When thinking about files, I meant document-type ones (i.e. used to type letters etc) - but as you say, you don't have anything personal. Another suggestion is to un-install any software or features that you don't need/use, with some known to affect computer speed. --- These are the only suggestions, based on experience of installing new Microsoft editions, I have unfortunately. Best bet might be to PM DB11 for any advice (as he seems quite top-notch on IT-related stuff), but he's probably not read you concerns in this thread and knowing him he'll respond when he's logged on again.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 August 2015 Share Posted 11 August 2015 Ran mine last night without any problems. All I did then was shut it down, which was easier than it was before, so that was nice. I'd actually got used to Windows 8 as we use it all the time at work, but who decided that was ever a good idea needs to be driven into the countryside and released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted 11 August 2015 Share Posted 11 August 2015 Apologies for not actually replying, completely forgot as about 10 minutes after I asked for a screenshot I got a virus (for about the 2nd time ever) and it buggered my whole laptop. Had Malwarebytes switched off after I installed 10 for some reason so ended up having to clean install. Encountered quite a few problems. Got everything sorted fully about an hour ago, can't beat a clean install actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beliall Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 I'm having issues with my browsers as well. Opera sometimes has black screen, or the screen "breaks". Its hard to describe. My mouse lags sometimes too. I hear disabling cortana helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fynwy Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 I'm having issues with my browsers as well. Opera sometimes has black screen, or the screen "breaks". Its hard to describe. My mouse lags sometimes too. I hear disabling cortana helps I disabled most of the new 'features' on the laptop I'm using as a test-bed for Windows 10 and haven't seen any problems so far.

separator Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 Chrome. It's starting to do my head in now Chrome includes everything you need like flash and java as far as I know so not sure why it would delay playing. Uninstall anything MS have included that you don't want, make sure Chrome is your default browser, windows is up to date (some streaming sites need MS Silverlight installed but think its already included in W10), maybe disable any AV temporarily to see if thats stopping it.

Cheers mate will give that a go later. Already had silverlight before the update so guessing I've still got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May or may not be the same as what your experiencing but this article says it could be your graphics card driver. Go to the manufacturers site and download the latest version (don't rely on Windows update to get the very latest hardware drivers). http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/windows-10-streaming-problems/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. An unbelievable nightmare!. I lost all my passwords, and all my photographs.

MikeyT Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 My dad did this the other day. His laptop is now buggered. Rang Microsoft and was on the phone to them for an hour and a half and had someone take control of his computer and they couldn't fix it. Completely knackered now. However, I upgraded mine and it is perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separator Posted 20 August 2015 Share Posted 20 August 2015 When you upgrade you get the option of copying over files, setting and apps, or deleting everything. I assume you pressed the right button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxhateram Posted 21 August 2015 Share Posted 21 August 2015 Had no problems other than the Internet on it now being really slow. Anyone else have the same issue? Can't work out why it would be, chrome and edge both like it. It gets to the page eventually, it's not my connection because other devices working fine on it. Really strange.

Sir Fynwy Posted 21 August 2015 Share Posted 21 August 2015 Only problem I had with the work laptop that I upgraded yesterday was with the Cisco VPN software to connect to our email server, a bit of googling found a solution with new client software.

Fox92 Posted 23 August 2015 Share Posted 23 August 2015 Took the step and upgraded my laptop. Had been running Windows 8 on it (not sure what version). It is better than Windows 8 for me, and the re-introduction of the start menu is important. Never know why they got rid of it. Anyway, it feels back to basics. I like it, with no problems as yet.
