    Windows 10 Windows 10 Creators Update

    Many thanks for your valued advice. My PC is now behaving normally thank goodness! When I did have the Creators Update installed I did notice that Windows startup was considerably faster, not that startup using the old build was terribly slow.

    Windows 10 Windows 10 Creators Update

    Before I read your post I tried a system restore which failed, then I reverted to the previous build of Windows 10, which has worked and the PC now shuts down immediately, as it did before. A few days ago I took the precaution of backing up all my files, just in case. Which WU settings do I...

    Windows 10 Windows 10 Creators Update

    I might try a system restore and see what happens. Regarding the event logs, I am not sure exactly where in the logs I should be looking as the issue might not necessarily show up as an error. Incidentally, the computer also hangs when restarting.

    Windows 10 Windows 10 Creators Update

    Further to my recent post regarding the shutdown issue, I have now managed to get the fast startup option on screen and have disabled it, but this has not fixed the issue. I have tried shutting down after booting into safe mode but it still hangs. I am just wondering whether to try booting up...

    Windows 10 Windows 10 Creators Update

    I have recently updated to Windows 10 Creator Update and since then my PC will not shut down. It just hangs with the "shutting down" message. So far I have tried the following: 1 Hibernate option is disabled. 2 I thought it might be something to do with the fast startup setting being ticked...

    Windows 10 Windows 10 temporary files

    I keep getting a nagging pop up suggesting I remove temporary files and delete the old Windows installation. I am not sure why I would want to do this, particularly if I wanted to revert to Windows 7 within the 1 month allowed by Microsoft ?

    Windows 10 Syncing Facebook calendar with Windows 10 Calendar

    How do I sync my Facebook Calendar birthdays with Windows 10 Calendar? According to Facebook help there should be an export option when I click Birthdays, but there isn't.

    Windows 10 Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 question

    Hi, thanks for your Email. The version of W10 I now have is V1511 OS Build 10586,494. As for the backup image, I thought you meant the whole drive, but just wanted to check. In actual fact I have Acronis True Image 2016 so I will use that to do this task. In the meantime I am trying to get...

    Windows 10 Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 question

    Hi Further to your post dated 17 July, I have now upgraded to Windows 10 but not how I had planned! I tried upgrading using the ISO file but then got a screen asking me for a Windows 10 activation code, with no option to bypass that screen. I am sure that option used to be available as of...

    Windows 10 Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 question

    I am a bit surprised you say it could take up to 12 hours. Not long ago I upgraded my Dell Laptop to Windows 10 and the whole process took an hour or so, if that. Mind you, there is a lot less stuff stored on my Laptop compared with my main PC. Unless Microsoft come up with any unexpected...

    Windows 10 Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 question

    I am planning to upgrade from Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 10 and have created a Windows 10 ISO file on DVD in readiness. The ISO file was created March 2016. If Microsoft release any updates before the cut-off date in July, will the upgrade automatically apply these updates as and when I...

    Thanks, I've figured it out now. By using the tab key on my laptop, I can get to all the language screens. You are correct- I am running the Pro version.
