Didn't like 8/8.1 (well, I didn't mind it once it was set to boot to desktop and classic start menu was installed).
Only had 10 for about 10 minutes, and so far it seems pretty slick. Cortana is being a dick, tells me I need to change some settings (the LET Microsoft SPY ON ME settings), but when I click to open the settings page it opens then closes again immediately.
Actually, can't get into settings at all. Very annoying.
I did start to download the ISO but I just noticed that the Service Host process is using the network connection so probably downloading the update too.
I can get control panel, but not into PC Settings, the app store or anything related to that stuff (personalise desktop, windows update etc.) It's a bit annoying as I need to change some security settings in PC Settings in order to get my uni email to work.
I've run SFC, which reports there's a bunch of corrupt files that it can't fix. Was going to do a windows reset thing, but that's in PC Settings. (fail)
Must be a command prompt command you can run to open certain settings dialogs?
Windows Store is now working, but not PC Settings or Windows Update.
>>P.S. is Win 10 any good? do I want it? should I be upgrading my laptop to it in the middle of exam revision?
I guess that was a no.
We have 6 PCs waiting for an update. 5 of them failed to update with Windows error 80240020 (which a lot of people are reporting on t'interweb). My daughter's Windows 8.1 laptop updated without any problems.
I followed some suggestions to delete the update files from Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads and restart the update from an Admin started cmd prompt with wuauclt.exe/updatenow
The Windows 7 PCs updated OK. The Windows 8.1 ones have failed so far.
