Yeah but you're the only person I've seen on here that's had that problem.

Now, will you at last tell us about the computer you are installing it on?

A brand?

A put together PC?

Old?

A quick search on Google will show that vast numbers of people suffer the loss of the start button.

The one that went wonky is an HP computer.

Yes, I am old but that's not my fault, is it ?

I installed it on christmas day, it fucked up my Skype, my sound, and i generally did not like it. I was waiting for a Skype call from my family at a certain time - not knowing i had to re login to Skype, and my e mail and my bank etc.

I am back on 8.1 and the above work normally. It was easy to go back.

How can i get rid of their silly little weekly pop up? Or will it just go away in July?

Sorry Patsy , my partner deals with my weekly pop-up I'm sure someone will be along soon to rummage in your software, I'm sure Harry or Bald Rick can you fill you in if you can wait, if your desperate pm....

that vidoe was terrible - the kitten footage made me turn it off - do people really look at that sick sh1t online ?

I think I'll wait for Win 7.

What more is there to say, besides I like Windows 7

fcuk win 10

A user on Voat going by the handle CheesusCrust has done an analysis of Windows 10 telemetry using DD-WRT doing remote logging to a Linux machine, and they have found that even with all of the telemetry options disabled, a clean Windows 10 Enterprise Edition install still appears to be sending substantial amounts of data back to Microsoft. In an eight-hour period, the experiment identified 3967 connection attempts to 51 distinct Microsoft IP addresses. A further update after 30 hours of letting it sit shows a total of 113 different external IPs are accessed. CheesusCrust also performed a further test using the popular anti-Windows 10 telemetry application DisableWinTracking, and found that while it is able to reduce the data being sent back to Microsoft, even the most stringent options cannot completely eliminate it.

Seriously have you tried install Collusion in your browser and seeing what it does when you load a web page?

It's not worth the worry.

I like having targeted ads in my pages. Better than ones for shit I don't need.

have you been to this page on your webbrowser

https://panopticlick.eff.org/

doesn't do anything to me until I specifically allow it to go

I have had agent switcher but it can piss you off with the different page renders all the time

Yes. I also tried hitting it. It dodnt even switch on afterwards. Total piece of shit.

I took it back, got arsey and made futile representations about the Sale of Goods Act to a pale boy with multiple blackheads on his nose and greasy hair for 20 minutes in front of a queue of shoppers.

A manager eventually appeared and I got a credit note for a MacAir which works perfectly

Mine's pretty clean because I run UBlock as well.

Microsoft is planning to double the amount of promoted apps in the Start menu with the upcoming Anniversary Update to Windows 10. The software maker revealed at its WinHEC conference last week that the amount will increase from five currently up to 10 in the Anniversary Update that's due to roll out in July. Promoted apps are typically used on new PCs as links to encourage Windows 10 users to download Store apps, and different apps are promoted in different countries.

I hope you read the small print re: Windows Updates.

I've been using windows 10 for a couple of weeks on the work laptop and I frigging love it.

Once you go Win10, you'll never go back!
(even if you want too...)

Would you mind making us all aware of your point, i.e., the small print?
