The windows 10 free update had crashed my computer

SINGLE UPDATE IS FAILING!!

One of the biggest changes, from what I have seen after using it for a little while, is that you lose the ability to refuse an update, which isn't a bad thing

This would have been well and good - right up until the forced updates botched a patch that corrupted my OS' boot sector.

I installed Windows 10 right as it came out as the free update, thinking that I would enjoy it, because I did enjoy taking advantage of the Dev Program on the workstation at my work, which I don't use for any audio or anything, just rendering things

I have found you can disable the automatic updates through a series of workarounds and will be doing that ASAP as to avoid this type of extreme frustration again

I could complain about the fact that only the PRO edition lets you disable updates, but the last update broke the systems ability to update completely, despite trying all of Microsoft's lengthy recommended fixes

That update made a lot of beneficial improvements to Win 10, imo

This, despite that I have updated Symantec -- which Win 10 seems to accept as compatible, but which nevertheless does not allow to be selected as the default security program

The only way to disable updates is by lying to them and saying that your wifi is a metered connection and to not update on metered connections

my monitor lights up my whole room: Windows automatic updates are a huge pain

Most recent update ruined the OS

you didn't"Mystery Meat" updates - I want to know what updates do and what they're likely to change, so if something breaks I don't have to risk killing my machine by pulling random updates until things work again

I run a normal update, and it wrecked my gaming laptop

8/3/16 - The so-called "anniversary update" available 8/1/16 (and gradually making its way to users with Win 10 already installed) is (IMHO) a dreadful disaster

I did a reset to a time prior to that awful update, but the awful display resolution was back the next time I booted up

Maybe it'll be better in a year or so once some serious updates are issued but until then keep your windows 7 & 8/8.1 until this OS is more concretely settled

First this package is NOT a free update from

I got it when the free update from Win7 was a thing

with no option to delay the update

Really hated updating from Windows 7, but MS will bug the heck out of you with the "optional" free upgrade offer until you are forced to cave

Forget those ruinous surreptitious updates that scramble stuff

The geniuses will just release a new update and probably reset half of my preferences along with spamming me about how I should immediately start using Cortana, or their junk browser, or skype (I do not skype so leave me alone already

Microsoft is rapidly losing the trust of its customer base with bad behavior and features which include:Forced updates - not everybody has a fast line or unlimited bandwidth,

Windows 7 is superior in every way, I just hope they keep Direct x updating in Windows 7.The most recent critical update for windows 10, on September 15th 2016 ruined my controller companion

I had downloaded the free Windows 10 update, but it just didn't work well and was slow.

Most of my problems were related to sleep/wake, but I went to hell and back updating drivers and tweaking settings to no avail.

Plus buggy updates if it even let's you

To test if it works, next time there is an update, hit the windows key and type cmd, then run it as administrator and type "powercfg -waketimers" without the quotes and look for any task concerning updates scheduled to run

Aggressive non-stop annoying advertising and forced updates from their old operating systems

I hate all their updates and they force you to use only their software for ad on programs

This update is awful, it will just start updates in the middle of your work

Latest Norton update does work, and appears to be compatible when I continued to update the program until no more updates were available

To test if it works, next time there is an update, hit the windows key and type cmd, then run it as administrator and type "powercfg -waketimers" without the quotes and look for any task concerning updates scheduled to run

Automatic updates have wasted a ton of my time.

Because of this aggressive updating, I now am having a "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" error on driver dxgkrnl.sys, which has no solution so far.

Update: I just filed a complaint with the FTC because I found, for the third time, Compattelrunner.exe running on my computer, having been reinstalled without my authorization."Microsoft updates install a program called compattelrunner.exe on my computer without my authorization even though my update settings say, "Download important updates but let me choose whether to install them

I upgraded my laptops with it and it work as it should but had problems until the first update they came out with, now I have no problems

Everything works as it should.

Both had no problems and worked as it should.

Put it in, it updated my old computer running windows vista, still working as of 2/28/18 without any problems(freezing,stopping etc.).

I'd recommend anyone to ignore any negative reviews on the Operating system as this product works as it should for installing Windows 10.

Ridiculously overpriced (as to be expected from Microsoft) for a garbage OS.

In fact, now you can't even do that, as the OPK "license" is no longer available for Win 7 OEMs (even though everyone, incl Amazon is unloading them as fast as they can on the innocent buyers), so the buyers of Win 7 OEMs are stuck with a very expensive sixty-dollar coaster

You WILL want to disable ALL of the Microsoft telemetry 'features' as much as you can, and there are several good articles you can find on internet searches and on Youtube to help you do this

Works as it should on an older HP PC!

Microsoft said this key will eventually stop working as it's meant to only be used temporarily

Worked as it should, best price around.

n’t having a problem with my hardware since Win 10 is still giving me a code 43 error in device manager
