I have Windows 10 64 bit installed on my main PC, and to be fair, this is the longest that I have ever had ANY version of Windows installed on any computer, and its been a good while to be fair... It was doen not that long after it was officially released.
But, lately I have been suffering a fairly large number of issues... So much so, that I am actually giving a reinstall a serious bit of considering... The ONLY thing thatsstopping me, is just how much stuff I have on the PC.
Anyway, the issues are, like I said small, but they are happening all the time.
For example, the default app for any given file type is constantly being lost. This mostly happens with Media files like MPG, MP4, M4V, AVI and also Audio files like FLaC and MP3. I get a message at the bottom corner telign me that the app has some issue and the default has been removed.
I have of course tried uninstalling EVERY SINGLE Media player I have, but its does NOT help.
I have a number of Network folders setup, and these have all been defaulted too... For example, Drive S: is my System folder with Drivers and Operating system ISOs of my Windows and Linux PCs on, and Drive I: is my ISOs folder with ISO images of my games DVDs and installations so my opriginals are nice and protected, and M: is my Media fodler and so on... They are named as such too, but they get forgotten and they are then given the Network location again instead.
The way I have the icons on the taskbar setup, and the way I have certian startup apps setup, they all get reset to defaults too, forexample that utterly annoying ONE DRIVE gets righ on my nerves... I have removed that time and time again, but yet here it is, invading my bloody PC once again. The Language switch too, keeps popping up even though I have only ENGlish on it.
Ok, the last few are almost definitely update related because they have only happened after an update, and admittedly, the last updates were a huge batch of a whole ton of them, that required multiple restarts that in the end took over an hour to complete ( dunno why, I was playing games while I waited )
But this is happening all the time now and I am sick of it to be honest.
Come to think of it, there is absolutely nothing that Windows 10 does, or 8.1 or 8 for that matter, that Windows 7 did not do. Nothing that is of any real value anyway, other than making my PC look like a cheap toy.
If I need to reinstall, I will be going back to Windows 7 and failing that, since I have Linux running now where I have NOTHING that wont work in that, I may even consider ditching windows altogether.
But I would prefer not to!
Has anyone had similar? Is it just my PC or is it happening to others?
