Windows 10

Getting a weird issue where my screen flickers and everything lags and after doing it for about a minute I get a hard lockup where I have to switch the PC off at the front.

Any suggestions? Has happened to me twice in two days.

Windows 10 is really just a refreshed Windows 7 under the hood, plus of course adding the bits in from W8/8.1.

That makes no sense. "under the hood" is where Windows 8 has been praised, its the GUI that has taken flak. Windows 10 will have the behind the scenes improvements of 8, and it has a better desktop interface.
 
Still have this annoying problem with teamviewer. Anyone else have problem with teamviewer since window 10 latest build?

Found a work around. to go view, select single window, then click on the taskbar area and it works.

Official fix from teamviwer for problem, create new dword in registry:

DWORD(32bit) title: DisableDuplicationAPI with value 1 decimal

64 bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer

Restart team viewer service on host pc.

finally got round to installing 9879, modern apps now remember if you make them full screen :), :( only seems to work if the app has been updated. like mail. 3rd party apps don't remember :(
 
But then, I also use Modern Mix on 8.1 and that does it already!
Its almost as if MS have stolen the code from Modern Mix and used it to make Windows 10.
 
To be fair, the interface in Windows 10 is very good. Seems to combine the best bits of both Windows 7 and 8.
 
anything I don't mind said:
Microsoft has billions they should buy the software from stardock and 7 taskbar tweaker, vista switcher, volume2 and other utils that improve features.

Why buy, when they can simply rob the code, alter it enough to make it slightly different and re-use it.
They have done it with loads of things that Linux users have used for years so why stop now?

To be fair, that wasn't a hard task. In any case, the various utils have been around to make either exactly the way you wish, although I still prefer Linux for that type of thing.

The problem is that a lot of stardock's stuff is horrible bloatware. I admit though...Stuff like fences would be fantastic if it were integrated.

Well i am not saying intergrate it with the bloatware, just buy the idea from them and rewrite it properly in to the OS.

7 taskbar tweaker and volume2 and vista switcher would be amazing if it was built in. The amount of features 7 taskbar tweaker brings makes windows look like there was no effort put in to it.

I think with MS they don't realy care about what people want, they just want to push their store and apps, they are only making windows 10 like it is because users were not happy with 8. They haven't changed at all, the focus is still on their crappy modern ui where all the apps are pathetic to say the least.

Have you see the photoshop app, its like a child software.
 
I am liking W10 in most respects.

I have been using many extra things to help, such as ClassicShell, and ModernMix and in some ways, Win10 is doing what they do, and so far, I have no crashes or any real serious issues at all and I am liking the direction its going. Especially putting the winapps intoa window is the biggie for me.

I do have one issue that I am annoyed about however, and that is that my main Laptop is a dual graphics Intel & nVidia affair, and it sort of kind of knows that its there, but can I get it running properly? Can I heck!

Desktop is just fine, but switchign to nvidia for gaming etc simply wont happen.

I have the latest ISO and I will be throwing it on tonight and so I am hoping that will help, but if not, then thats a big issue for me, and anyone else who has the same sort of laptop.
 
Does anyone have any SSD speed issues with Windows 10? I can't seem to get my SSDs running at full speed compared to when I had them on Windows 8.1. Two are on Intel 6Gb ports and one is on a Marvel 6Gb port. I can't get over 250MB/s write speeds on any of them.

Two are Intel 330 120GB in RAID 0, which when I set up were getting close to a GB/s read and write, and I've just got some new Sandisk Ultra Plus SSDs, which again aren't getting write speeds of over 250MB/s. Reed speeds are down too, but the biggest deficit is the write speeds.

I think I have the same issue, mine aren't running at full speed either and I can't work out why. I hadn't thought it could be the OS but you could be right.

It reads to me like an issue with your Controller, maybe the drivers for it still need to be updated for full compatibility with Windows 10?

EDIT: Fixed grammatical error. :(
