So I'm guessing you didn't install it :laugh:

So far, I've only installed it in a Virtual Box VM, so I can play with this[^] poorly documented (but what a nice website!) app. Marc

since the last update installation it doesnt boot smooth anymore, but nerving with it shiny new blue screen with the known errors as IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL, some ARC_SYSTEM ??? and other stuff. I got to reset the BIOS and boot 3 times and the PC freezes. Such shit I havent experienced since Vista Previews. :mad::mad::mad: Addition: I got the next BSOD with fvevol.sys PS: I run the PC three month with Windows 8 error free, and two month with Windows 10 (no new hardware)

I find I'm getting problems when starting up. Yesterday, I started Win10, installed from a purchased copy, and it just froze after I started Windows Mail, Internet Explorer and Calendar. That was the second time in the last couple of weeks. A hard restart was the only way out of it, again. I am also experiencing a long hang occasionally when it is running. It eventually sorts itself out. Before these recent problems, I've had no trouble at all.

I also had the misfortune of falling for the Microsoft hype over how good the new OS was and took up the opportunity to upgrade from my perfectly competant Win7 to Win10 and that's when it all fell apart. Admittedly had I read some of the forums beforehand I might have set up an image of the harddrive before doing it which would have saved my alot of headache. After just one day of use I realised that the OS isn't fit for purpose and all Microsoft are doing is skipping the bulk of the beta test phase by forcing their customer base to act as guinea pigs for their well concieved but poorly executed system. After Win10 stopped recognising my graphics card (NVidia GTX860M) which is compliant and fully updated with Win10, I chose the option of reverting the OS back to Win7 but that just locked up the system leaving it in limbo for 9-days in a half-way house state unable to complete the removal process and equally unable to recover my original OS. I managed to recover the data off the partitioned drive, but had to format the C-drive and start again from scratch (oh for an image of the harddrive) :mad: Two weeks on I'm now struggling to find the drivers neceesary to get my laptop fully operational again and back to where it was before Christmas, as it seems most drivers only go back so far as Win8.1, yet another useless system. Let's hope this goes the same way as their blighted phone range.

What are you guys installing/running that makes Windows 10 unusable? I don't really have many problems with it.
Yep! After my initial resistance I have come to like Windows 10. FYI I have a clean install on an SSD with quad core i5 and 4GB ram on a Gigabyte board. So far it has been rock solid. There are one or two items that I used with Win 7 previously that don't work on Win10 but I managed to get round that easily. I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

I'm not installing it because I read all this stuff in the lounge :laugh:

I am WITH YOU on that. I am still HAPPILY on Windows 7 Pro. No reason to move. And EVERY Time I have to use Windows 10, I still cringe! Although, Right Click on the start menu. ALMOST Useable Again! :-)

got many devices attached to your pc? I doubt it. win10 now requires signed drivers. there are a lot of devices (like my now DEAD midi keyboard) that were distributed before the days of signed drivers and have companies not willing to update the drivers. All those devices are now dead with win10. there's a way to tell win10 to not require signed drivers that you set in the bootup sequence, but it doesn't work on my pc. The "will your pc work with win10" checker said I was good to go. It lied. Also, how many windows updates have you been through? I've been through a lot and about 25% of em have wrecked something. The win10 control panel and start menu behave like they were written in visual basic with an access db :( I kinda think Microsoft just can't do it anymore.

since the last update installation it doesnt boot smooth anymore, but nerving with it shiny new blue screen with the known errors as IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL, some ARC_SYSTEM ??? and other stuff. I got to reset the BIOS and boot 3 times and the PC freezes. Such shit I havent experienced since Vista Previews. :mad::mad::mad: Addition: I got the next BSOD with fvevol.sys PS: I run the PC three month with Windows 8 error free, and two month with Windows 10 (no new hardware)

I bought a new Surface 4 Pro a week ago and have exactly that problem, but even before update it to last Win10 Update 1511. So, I think the problem could be a driver, not the OS last update…

Ignore the kneejerk Windows 10 sucks posts that responded to you. They aren't solving your problem. Reboot to safe mode and then turn bitlocker off on all drives. Reboot twice with bitlocker turned off. If your system is good at this point, back up your data and turn bitlocker back on. My guess is something got corrupted in your bitlocker configuration partition that is used to boot the system when bitlocker is turned on.

It is MS, it is a feature. ;P Why are you W10 ? It is common knowledge that is still beta and will be at least until next year. Look, they are still adding features !

Read again my message, you will see that I speak about W10. Windows started 30 years ago, one can expect a new version to be stable. and stability is what enterprises want.

It is important to do the upgrade first, then follow up with a clean install. When you upgrade your machine is registered with Microsoft as eligible for Win 10, and you won't need an expensive activation code later - during the clean install. Just skip the parts where a clean install asks for the activation code.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
Hold on a tick. Does this mean that I can use the upgrade to register my box for a free copy of Win 10, and then re-install Win 7? I'd be tempted to do that if I ever thought a time would come when I might agree to the Win 10 EULA.

I'm pretty sure it was de-signed to do that :D

But there really should not be anything that you as a user could install that would make an operating system unstable. And as KarstenK stated it *was* working until a (Windows?) update was installed.

Well, if you have a virus that would be a problem, but that wouldn't be Windows fault.

True enough. However, in this instance the "virus" in question seems to have been Microsoft's update.

I haven't had that problem, it seems to work fine for me. But then I might not have used it properly :laugh:
