  1. Windows 10 Downloading 10159 now...what's up?

    Well, I thought 10158 would be the last build before the final... looks like I was wrong. I wonder why so soon, maybe 10158 had some problem. It shows available in Windows Update, but so far it has not started actually downloading. Now it seems to be downloading at 50 Mbps... we will see...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 - Black screen after update

    Hi, Three weeks ago I started my PC as normal and got a black screen after I logged in. A program update box suddenly appeared so clearly nothing wrong with the graphics or screen, just Windows not working. After a lot of messing around (yeah, thanks for hiding 'safe mode', Microsoft) and...
  6. Windows 10 Build 10049 not going to slow ring?

    Anybody know what is going on with 10049 not being released to the slow ring because of upgrade problems. Are they referring to the language situation, or something else?

  9. Windows 7 UAC settings reset after power loss

    After a sudden power loss forcing the computer into a hard shut down, the first thing I noticed was my UAC setting being reset from "Never notify" to the default. Since that has been changed, I think it's possible other things have been changed as well. Why would these settings change after a...

    Windows 8 FURIOUS at Windows

    I am extremely annoyed with Windows. A week ago, whilst I was in the middle of work, Windows 8 just shut down. When I restarted, it began to install updates. It seemed to freeze and after a couple of hours there was no progress - I had to do a "Refresh" of Windows. Very inconvenient. When I...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 experts needed, sleep & hibernate stopped working

    So Windows forced me to update to Windows 8.1, which I didn't want but still. They don't care, they forced the update. Which means my laptop reboots way slower, but I'll deal with that. Perhaps W8.1 is better at several area's. Anyways, I got a problem with sleep and hibernate mode. I can enter...
