How the hell can I turn off windows defender?? I use Nod32 and ever boot it turns itself back on.

Noticed this on my work PC, both Windows Defender and Avast reported to be on after the update. But a restart allowed Windows to properly detect Avast and it disabled defender. However, it's still there in the notification area even though it says it's off.

Just tried the notification sync from my Android phone (Nexus 6P), and it works pretty well, going to be testing it out as I'm getting fed up of the direction Pushbullet is going.

EDIT: I see it supports quick replies for any messaging app as well, which is nice.

Do the anti spying programs like O&O Shutup10 still function after the update?
Thank you.

It's the US version but it works. One main thing that bugs me however is if you dismiss the notification on the phone, it still lingers on the PC.

Well, for some reason it's not syncing my notifications now. It was working pretty nice earlier. Back to Pushbullet I go...

Thanks. That work on both my machines. The only problem I has was that the update changed my Synaptics touchpad driver to a standard touchpad driver meaning that I lost all my multi-touch gestures. The same has happened with previous updates so it wasn't entirely unexpected. I was able to put it back easily enough

Only issue I have now is some hideous screen flickering. I suspect the update has borked the graphics drivers. Everything else seems unaffected...

This update wrecked my Windows install. PC would freeze after 20 secs or so after logging in. Attempting to open any programme or app locks up the PC. Loads of people with same issue. Only fix is to roll back to previous build. So might be worth holding off updating til MS get a fix out. Or risk it and be prepared to have to roll back if needs be.

And to clarify, a clean install of the Nvidia drivers seems to solved the issue.

I haven't gotten rid of the Windows.old folder yet. I'm going to wait a little while and then do a full clean install of the latest build.

I've noticed one thing that annoys me. The text for all the folder names seems to be justified to the left. Anyone else notice this?

Bug or feature?

They've been discussing that on Neowin.

no idea how MS managed to miss this problem, its been happening since February (ish) on all of the insider builds for me to the point where they became so unusable I had to go back to RTM.

Borealis · 3 Aug 2016 at 23:18

Screen flickering isn't gone...

Haven't checked all games yet, but it seems that SLI has gone weird for me. Maybe just for me though.

I've been on the anniversary for some time, it's mostly no visible change for me... except the lock screen, which is totally messed up, with UI elements all over the shop, and often just a blue screen with nothing else.

No idea how they managed to break that so badly. Does anyone at MS do any testing these days?
