If Anyone Gone With the Windows (ten)?
-
Win10 upgrade damage control: so far lotsa folks reported issues w/video drivers (fixable), some others w/wifi drivers (ez fixable), but overall mood is rather positive. So, if anyone was "Gone with the Windows", i.e. got into the critical issues causing PC's fatal errors? Btw, I've also noticed that the digital-era "War of Roses" (i.e. Mac vs. PC) kinda intensified these days: here's a good ol' video joke in this regards: Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates | Epic Rap Battles of History[^] :-D ... Interestingly, the friend of mine with very long track record of Microsoft development recently posted about Win10 running smooth on Mac (in Parallels). Just couple words to add in this aspect: The personal experience with computer HW/SW could be very different from the institutional one. Statistically, running business on PCs is less expensive than on Macs. I've personally built several hundred PCs and can tell you that if it's done well in the first place, then it works for years. But, as a former electrical engineer, I also have a high appreciation for the quality of HW design and overall ergonomic sophistication of Apple's products. So, in one sentence, it's kinda a choice between "Lamborghini on the Desktop" and a regular workhorse like Toyota Camry, metaphorically speaking... :)

The upgrade managed to lose my Nvidia graphics driver. The "update driver software" option detected the hardware, but timed out installing the drivers, so I had to manually download and install the drivers from the website. Office 2013 managed to forget its product key, so I had to type that in again. Otherwise, no problems to report.

Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 running in Parallels on the MacBook Air, and Edge. No issues to report.

Why everyone one using Windows Ten already? and facing issues in installation and all? I mean it got released the day before yesterday, why don't you guys wait for some days, let some people use it, then ask about their experience of using Win10 and then install it if it gets good reviews. How about that? :-\ :laugh: ;P

Do you have the Cisco VPN client (v5.x) installed? Uninstall Cisco VPN before upgrading to #Windows10 | Scott Hanselman | Twitter[^] The fix is apparently to run the following from an elevated command prompt:
reg delete HKCR\CLSID\{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
netcfg -v -u dni_dne

Yes, I had the Cisco VPN v5 installed before the upgrade. I tried running the elevated command, but received the invalid syntax error. Thanks, I feel like I'm getting closer.
Is the error on the
reg deleteor thenetcfgline?

Ran with no integrity violations. Last night I downloaded and installed new network drivers from Dell. The link you provided is very informational. I will probably give it until Sunday and if nothing works, then I'll rollback to Windows 8.1 as the article says will be needed. I will say, that everything else seems to work fine.

The issue is now listed on the Microsoft KB: No wireless networks are available after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10[^] It doesn't have any more information than the Twitter thread though.

Sounds reasonable, but apparently some folks need to install it in order to write reviews :)

Now that sounds more reasonable :)
