Windows 10 - The Force is rebooting me

That's a little preachy, since you know nothing about this situation other than what I have shared with you (meaning you know nothing about it at all).

People that are complaining about Windows 10 should have let a Tech install it.

I've heard from both entry end enterprise level Techs that they have experienced major issues with Windows 10. Installed and administrated by a Tech. Even used solely by a Senior Tech. How highly qualified should the installing personnel be?

100Coogn, you have been warned about these types of posts.  Just because you are not having any perceived problems with Windows 10, does not mean there are not problems.

There are many well documented problems with Windows 10 and most of them are the result of professionals finding the problems.

How about the recent Windows 10 insider release which breaks many games on Windows 10.  Microsoft posted that problem, themselves.  I suppose they do not know what they are doing either.

People are finding real problems with Windows 10.  I am glad they are coming here to share them.  It helps our community quite a bit.

Windows 10 was released at least a year too early. That's just the way it is. I don't think Microsoft is doing much deep-seated thinking about their updates either. They give us the program for nothing so they expect to roll out updates as if the OS is in a pristine state.

I've been doing this computer stuff just a short while, maybe thirty-five years. So, maybe I should defer to a 'tech' with a two-year education, but really I think that would be a step backwards.

They used to say that there were only two sorts of F4U pilots. There were those that had ground-looped their Hog, and those that were going to. It's the same way with Windows 10. If you have not experienced a problem up until this point, just wait.

Not saying that I haven't had problems, just trying to point out that Windows 10 isn't as evil as some people are trying to make it, is all.

That is a matter of opinion and has little to do with the real problems Windows 10 has.  Personally, I consider the telemetry data gathering to be evil, but that has nothing to do with the problems Windows 10 has.  It is just my opinion.  Everyone is entitled to one.

That said, no opinion overrides facts.  There are problems with Windows 10.  Bringing those to the surface is better than burying them behind opinion based rhetoric.

Have anyone tried the free  https://www.oo-software.com/de/shutup10 privacy fixer ?

[Chalenge]

Yes, it works for what it is intended. I posted about it.

KB3124262 installed today and rebooted the machine all on its own even with all the switches set to "DO NOT REBOOT WHILE I AM USING MY COMPUTER!"

I hate Microsoft. Have I said that already today?

Windows 10 just bricked one of my Laptop's - an Acer ES1-131

Keyboard dont cooperate anymore after an update, using an external keyboard it works though.

Nope, but IMO it should be said at least five times a day anyway.

Being able to operate with an external keyboard is a new feature to me. Then again the ones with no mouse and keyboard have been desktops using USB peripherals already. Anyhow I was able to boot to the Repair Mode by three interrupted boot attempts in a row. In one case I did a rollback, in another I unsuccessfully tried that but the visit to the Repair Mode returned the functionality of the input devices.

What I did after the install was to use Macrium Reflect (free version) to backup the boot image to an SSD. Next time it should be just a 20 minute restore, plus apps. My usual backups include the apps, but in case they don't restore and allow Windows to be updated I have another route to take.

I "had" to try Win 10, had no plans to after reading everything here and elsewhere.

I have a PC that is only used for AH, has my CH stuff on it (warthog and custom peds on a box for DCS and other stuff) as I feel CH is best for AH in terms of precision.  Anyhow, only change I had made in months was installing the beta, and when I used TrackIR, TiR started flipping out, I mean really odd behavior.  It would lock up the entire PC slowly, not respond to the camera/trackclip, but the PC worked fine without TiR launched.  As soon as it was though, big trouble.  Natural Point's system tech remoted in and spent 3 hours trying to figure out what happened, and even after multiple reinstalls/registry cleans/etc (which I had done myself several times already), everyone at TiR HQ was at a loss.  I was going to post here about it, but IMO it is probably coincidence this happened just after installing the beta - even though not a single change other than a windows 7 update had been done to this system (I don't fly AH too often, so it sits off mostly).  Anyhow, with TiR throwing in the towel, and with no TiR with AH or AH beta, and no system restore possible, I was looking at having to reformat and hope that fixed it, as TiR hardware worked on my other systems here, and the machine is really useless to me without it for AH.

My win 7 discs I realize are 500 miles away at our other place in Calgary.  I do however still have that annoying Win 10 upgrade to try, so I figure why not, I'm reformatting anyway, maybe this will keep this machine up till I can get my Win7 dics and codes.

What a giant PITA Win 10 is.  Sure, it did fix the problem regarding TiR  behaving, and it works fine with all 3 versions of the beta, even after reinstalling both many times just to ensure that, but wow, I almost wish I'd just left it until I'm back home considering the time it took to "secure" Win 10, change all the settings/goofy things, and what not.  And I STILL can't get that "Cortana" to get lost from the process list, even with it turned off, uninstalling it doesn't work, and it still comes back if you end it.  Annoying.  I thought the Vista deal was unpopular, but this one may steal that title.
