Yes drivers, but also some services - including native Windows 8 services, and the legendary 'conflict with virus scanners, and a few other things as well. Not sure what they've changed that's making update so unreliable.
Hello. I was lurking and then saw this and had to reply:
"I was using Ubuntu pretty much full time at home"
Last time I was here home was your world. Has there been a breakthrough? Or a breakout?
"you need to invest some time in learning keyboard shortcuts and that"
Does this mean I'd have problems using my 1994 Viglen AT keyboard with it because it doesn't have a Windows key?
No, no breakthrough. Not sure why I phrased it like that.
Also, hello!
Yes. You should probably think about getting a new keyboard.
If you want cured get a ticket and come stay with me. It's hard to have anxiety when you are carrying a 9!
Actually, this Windows 8 update issue is becoming an absolute pig. I haven't been hit by a software problem as irritating and intractable in years. I'm finding it infuriating with none of the fixes working. I'm almost inclined to turn off all updates and see if a service pack comes out in a few months.
Microsoft very quiet on the subject - or if they are commenting it's very low key.
