Windows 10

No wonder they are giving this away it seems to be loaded with backdoors and corporate spyware, surprised more fuss hasn't been made over the privacy aspect, I've lost count of how many settings screens have privacy messages about what you are allowing them to do and some of them can't even be disabled.

Under Windows Defender setting my "Real-time protection" option is greyed out permanently anyone know how to turn it on?

UK isn't supported, think you have to change your region to US or language to US English.

Lolwut? Yes it is.

My cortana (unfortunately) works fine with her dumb British voice.

Give examples.

As far as I can see no, you will need to pin it on the right side.

Thanks, i couldn't find a way. It looks like there was in the preview builds as i found something on google about it, but i don't have the options in the release version.

Probably old news, but if you go into Windows Update --> Advanced Options --> Choose how updates are delivered. A bit torrent type thing is on by default for windows updates. I've just turned that off.

I can't get it to work for love nor money then. On the early betas it was US only.

Even installed the English language pack and it won't switch on.

After installing the language pack did you go to speech and check it was on UK and not US?

It says English UK is supported. You have to install the UK language packs, think there's a separate one for speech you need to install, I haven't tried it myself.

Cortana is available in the following countries/regions: China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States. Cortana is available in these languages: Chinese (Simplified), English (U.K.), English (U.S.), French, Italian, German, and Spanish

•To use Cortana, all these settings must be set to the same language:

•Languages (this is your device language)


•Speech language (language pack must be installed)


•Country or region



•Note: If you change your region, you might not be able to shop at Store, or use things you've purchased, like memberships and subscriptions, games, movies, TV, and music.

Use the iso haha if your sick of waiting that is.

Ive activated 3 windows 10 machines tonight no issues with the activation servers

this confuses the heck out of me! the advise yesterday was to upgrade from 8.1 to 10 first then clean install 10 from the ISO or it won't activate

would be much easier if i could use the USB I created with Microsofts tool but worried it won't activate properly

 

[spinrs2k]

anyone not able to install itunes? on a fresh reinstall i cannot install itunes, getting the below error

"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information."

I ended up downloading the iso, writing it to disk, mounting it and installing from there. Activated fine.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 doesn't work on Win10 either.

I found a link to KIS 2016 on the Kaspersky forum, which does work. Maybe there is a 2016 version of the AV as well.

Which version as my KIS 2015 is fine.

 

[Antx777]

Which version as my KIS 2015 is fine.

Its an old 2010 version bundled with a pc long ago, however it updated fine on win 7. maybe a new version required?

 

[Robzere31]

Well after an evening of setting up & fine tuning I have to say I'm liking Windows 10.
Now to try a few games !

Free update form previous? Well should be really, like a "fix"
