Windows 10

I guess its because you can have Outlook (the original one budled with Office) and the webmail which was renamed from Hotmail. You could share these so I think it can distinguish between the two.

Well, it seems if you go to outlook add a new calendar. This then appears in any android calendar app you run. Then go back to outlook delete new calendar but it never deleted from the android calendar.

How weird I now have 7 unused calenders that won't delete. I can choose not to sync then but it's annoying.
 
There are sync checkboxes in something like 'Calendars to sync' as well as the obvious option to add accounts.

As I am not grasping any further help for you, is this an Android issue as opposed to a windows one?

Well, I had some confusion over the two calendars. This response from Microsoft community below. It's still confusing. When you save an event on Microsft calender it's only available on that device? How pointless it that?

Also android still trying to sync old calenders but they are nowhere to be seen in outlook.com on or windows 10 mail when signing in with Hotmail email. Bizarre.

"When setting up your Outlook account on the Mail app on Windows 10, it will show you the Outlook Calendar and the Microsoft Calendar. The Microsoft Calendar is the default calendar of the Mail app on Windows 10. When you save an event under the Microsoft Calendar, this will be available only on the device that you're using, while the event saved under Outlook Calendar will be available online through Outlook.com and can also view on other devices.

Regarding on the Internet subscription calendar, do you use an Outlook app for Android? In Outlook.com, you can subscribe to a calendar online and receive automatic updates in your account.

Let us know if you need clarifications."

Anyone use 1607 in a corporate environment?

Disabling OneDrive using:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive > Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage > Enabled

But OneDrive seems to go into users startup, which results in a big blue bar saying this program has been disabled by your administrator.

Any way to remove it from the startup profile?

Use an OS that has actually been tested and designed with real world business needs in mind :p we've completed ditched it at work after two aborted trials due to amongst other things the way notifications can interfere with many business type usages and especially it isn't good when the OS can take control with no real world context awareness when you are using a system for displaying information, etc. whether that is public or presentation or monitoring, etc. things like LTSB don't properly address that either.
 
Forcibly remove onedrive with dism?

Not tried 1607 yet, but I removed large chunks of the pre-installed appx bloat from our 1511 image. We'll likely skip 1607 and start work on 1703 in a few weeks.
 
Sigh and Windows 10 topped itself on my tablet - when shutting down some app-automatic-update process was preventing it so in the end force closed it to shutdown - now just a black screen after logging in though I can open task manager but that is it and recovery options just give a generic unable to repair error.

Really getting ****** off by the incompetence and witless attitudes towards how the OS works.

Not an option I'm afraid, we're stuck with it and that specific build.

From what I've read it's not possible to remove, only block using Group Policy, which we've done, but leaves that message to users which we really need to get rid of.
 
is the only way to stop windows 10 from updating my dam nvidia drivers to go to the pro edition?
ive tried regedit way and its right now dl newest nvidia rubbish.
tried setting no in the hardware tab area to driver and its still dl right now.
ive changed the active hours etc but nothing seems to work.

for a gamer does pro use more resources than is necessary? i see you can group edit the driver option to stop it auto dl with pro?

Pro is fine for gamers. I have only ever used pro. It's not like the old days of NT4 vs win 98.
 
Even Pro isn't 100% reliable but the group policy stuff more or less works for now but with each update MS seems to try and take away more control over that :s

Windows 10 is a horrid OS for gamers IMO in a lot of cases Windows 7 is actually smoother with less micro-hitches and stutter, etc. never mind the update stuff.

Problem is if you get new processors it is Windows 10 only. :(
 
KB4054517 (OS Build 16299.125). Just installed this. It wouldn't install from WU - stuck on 99%.

Downloaded complete file from Microsoft. Rebooted having disconnected from web and then installed downloaded update file. It wouldn't install from the 99% complete position. It seems to be getting harder to install updates - perhaps the age of my CPU (i7/920 - X58) / board?
 
No problem with X58 kit and Windows 10. I use a couple of Dell X58 workstations in a home lab. You'll have to find another way to justify an upgrade! ;)

It's more than likely the utterly shoddy quality of updates Microsoft are releasing.

Ho Ho! Caught out. It's just that the other PCs owned buy the family (Z97-K, Z170 ..)are considerably newer and they seem to update OK by themselves?

I'm pretty sure it is just MS being **** - I used to run 2x Windows 10 VMs for testing stuff that reverted to basically the same version when reset and quite often one would update fine and the other have issues of some sort despite being launched off the same original copy.
 
As an aside - we've got a few hundred Win10 machines at work. The patching stats don't look good compared to the 7 and 8.1 machines.
