lewmur Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Just got the Win10 upgrade on a laptop that had Win7 Pro. First impression? Here we go again, having to learn everything all over again. Yeah, there is a "Start Menu". But it is nothing like the Win7 menu. Instead of knowing exactly what to click to do what needs to be done, it is back to hunt and hope. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) http://news.softpedi...ns-488107.shtml http://news.softpedi...n=spd_hotlatest http://blogs.teknoid...noyances-and-mo You may find something to smile about in these articles. or perhaps not An if like me you have a Nvidia card you may be in trouble. Ultimately, the driver update problem is something that Microsoft is going to have to address; it cannot just be ignored. Mark this down as teething troubles if you will, but there's potential for this to become a huge issue. So what to do? Over on Forbes, Gordon Kelly has a couple of suggestions: Given Windows 10 updates cannot be stopped the most obvious solution is to uninstall third party driver management and hand it all over to Windows Update to avoid clashes. This potentially simplifies matters by providing an all-in-one update service, but it does mean taking away control from specialist companies over their own products. A second approach is [...] hack it. Initially this might work, but in April senior Microsoft product marketing manager Helen Harmetz said during a Windows 10 webinar that users who forcibly stopped any Windows 10 updates would eventually have their security updates cut off. In the meantime, the experience for NVidia users is causing not only frustration, but providing a sub-standard Windows 10 experience. There are posters complaining that "this is the worst driver I've ever used on [an] NVidia card", and pointing out that differing drivers are available through Windows Update and NVidia too, and this is something that could get a whole lot worse when Windows 10 reaches a wider audience. http://betanews.com/2015/07/26/windows-10s-automatic-updates-for-nvidia-drivers-could-break-your-computer/ Edited July 31, 2015 by abarbarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hello, While I re-learn where everything is, one thing I've found is that the search bar is pretty good about finding programs based on a name or partial description.

lewmur Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Hello, While I re-learn where everything is, one thing I've found is that the search bar is pretty good about finding programs based on a name or partial description. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky I didn't find it very helpful. The first thing I searched for was "control panel". No hits. Yet it is there. Found it by searching in "Settings". edit: Also, I really don't like the fact that it includes the web in the search. The results include too much extraneous BS when I'm only looking for Win10 answers. Edited August 1, 2015 by lewmur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
