I did the 'custom options' install where I declined their offers to track me, but most of the stuff in Privacy was still switched on.<br /><br /> There's also a feature in Windows Update that uses the Win 10 install base as a bit-torrent swarm, and redistributes downloaded updates. I don't have an issue with that idea in principle, but as my upload is limited (if I go over my upload limit my download speed get's capped) it would have been nice for MS to mention it somewhere other than page 9,374,249 of the EULA.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41498.108&return_msg=41498.106" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41498.108"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41498_109"></a><div class="message" id="message_41498_109"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 1 Aug 2015 13:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">109 of 123</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41498.109">41498.109</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think I quite like 10, it's definitely an improvement on 8/8.1, and I'm pretty sure it's a lot better than 7 too. Not overly-keen with the intrusiveness of it, but with all the tracking stuff turned off I think it should be OK. If MS push things much more in that direction I think I'd be about ready to quit windows all together, tbh. But in terms of interface and speed, it's definitely a winner for me.<br /><br /> My laptop still refuses to reliably hibernate, though (first discovered on the day it came from the courier, manufacturer refused to acknowledge it as a fault) so at least I now know that it's not a Windows issue, but a hardware/driver issue.

Haven't had much of of a play with it yet. My laptop actually hibernates (or rather resumes) better than it did before. The Intel grpahics driver did some stupid stuff when resuming in Win8 (7 worked fine). The display would go blank, come back for a bit, disappear, do that a few times and finally get to the desktop after a while.<br /><br /> Might have a play with it later (YJ) after changing the PCV hose on Sian's Mondeo. A split rubber hose that needs the inlet manifold removing to change it. Some of the bolts are impossible to get to.

You are required to enter an ID and password to view shares, your 'domain' is the name of your PC, and it royally screws things like network drives mapped to shares.<br /><br /> I never noticed this before because I had a mixture of boxes at 7 and 8. It's a pain to work round in 8 and 8.1 but relatively easy to switch to a local user in 10 <em>if you know what the problem is and that this is the way to fix it</em>. It wasn't something I'd ever seen publicised, and judging from the other bewildered users floundering around with half-arsed fixes, I'm not alone.<br /><br /> The issue is compounded because the 'join a domain or workgroup' wizard is broken for many users but in a way that gives the impression that something other than the wizard is broken - i.e. when you check the radio button to indicate that this is mainly a home PC and not business, the wizard hangs for a bit, tells you to restart (without asking what workgroup of domain you want), sets your work group back to the default 'workgroup' and when you restart you find that it's defaulted back to 'this PC is part of a business network'.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41498.115&return_msg=41498.106" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41498.115"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="41498.116" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
