Windows 10 Anniversary - there will be bugs

[Chalenge]

I accept the role of power user and how more complicated that makes an OS update, but this latest update is terrible. I have audio enhancements off, usually, but Windows 10 Anniversary turned it back on. Firefox doesn't play with Netflix well, so I got looking for a reason that the audio is muffled. The audio troubleshooter tells me that audio enhancements quite often cause trouble. Okay, so why did Windows turn it on during the update? Then when I change the setting the system gives me the first blue screen it has ever had.

I wanted this update, because of Windows Ink. It really is the best thing in the new update and I ordered a brand new QHD to interface with my system for rapid prototyping and thumbnail authoring. I won't plug it into a system that is causing BSODs, so it's update the system with a new Broadwell-E, or wait for Anniversary to get patched.

We have had the same issue with settings changing after updates and wasting time to go back and reset things as well.  It is a pain.

I understand there will be times when there is no way to prevent a setting from being reset, but they could at least give us a heads up about it.  They do know when they have to do it.

It happened in previous operating systems, but not to the extent it is happening with 10.  I hope it is early teething issues and will get sorted out.

     I'm sure all these issues will be sorted out. Like Skuzzy said, Windows 10 is young and growing, but it has shown great potential. The OS is very light weight, runs smoothly, and boots quickly. Resetting some of my personal settings is, in my opinion, a small price to pay. I look forward to subsequent updates and improvements, and am prepared for any small bugs/bug fixes that come with them.

Obviously, my willingness to deal with it is fading fast.

I used the free upgrade on my old HDD from win7 to 10 and it went and got the drivers itself.

Yes, Dolby, but the last thing you want are the drivers that MS assigns, especially for audio or video.

     What's wrong with them? Mine seem to work fine.

Lucky you.  A very old bug in Windows prevented me from being able to get the free upgrade to Windows 10.  The only solution MS was able to provide was to skip the free upgrade and buy a Windows 10 CD and a clean install.

Same here. I have no desire to start all over again.

I finally went from 8.1 Pro to 10 Pro and enjoy 10 much more than 8.1.    About 15 mins on my PC.   So far, so good.

My PC is actually running better than it did with the pure Win10 install I had on my SSD, on IL2 BoS I have been able to use Ultra setting as before, but gained 20fps and been able to max the anti aliasing, while the sounds are just as good as they were before.

caldera, Windows 10 is the last OS Microsoft is releasing, according to them.  It will just get continually updated.

By the way, in case you did not notice it,  this thread is about the Windows 10 anniversary release.  If you are not using it, then you probably should not be posting in this thread.

OK, carry on then.
