Is it time for Windows 10 already?

broken pixel · Jul 19, 2015

Running DDU breaks Windows Update services and selecting the option in DDU to turn back on the updates does not work.

I don't get it what's up with EVERY single new version of WIndows that comes out it has to make soft lockups on my system. When I installed Win7, it was locking up in a way that mouse works, but everything else just gets stuck with no disk activity. Music will play normal, you ca even play and pause it using multimedia keys on keybvoard, bu NOTHING else will respond. And when Win 8 was out, the exact same thing. And guess what, Win10 is doing the same shit again. Just out of the blue, everything will just stop responding and I have to reset the system, because it just stalls itself.

the one and only time i've had those symptoms was when i had a failing SSD.

If you've got those symptoms for <15 seconds at a time, turn off the idle timer for your hard drives in windows power settings.

Thanks, there's a lot of Windows 10 threads around, I got lost, lol...

Then why download the hacked version at all, I mean no one wants it right? You kind of contradict yourself there.

Sounds like a misaligned partition to me.

I don't think that's the case. I'm running CrystalDIskInfo at all times, monitoring HDD's and everything is OK. SSD is only used for hybrid caching so it shouldn't really affect anything.

Installation of Win10 did however entirely fuck up my other existing partition letters and later entirely fucked up my ability to restore PING disk image that I've made before so I have to now entirely reinstall the Win8.1 system by hand...

win 10 won't install ANY amped wireless drivers in RTM. and it has issues with ANY that use REALTEK chips -_- of course amped doesn't wanna help since it's "not thier problem" even tho I've indicated they may wnana have support before it's realeased to thier benefit and customer's bf. -_-

i'll have to double check, but pretty sure my realtek wifi stuff works fine. these issues may be specific to amped.

remixedcat · Jul 19, 2015

prolly... I haven't had any response since then... I'll reintall 10 for the 4th time to make sure but my aca1 only stays connected for 10 mins on 10 RTM but was fine 2 builds ago. -_-

Probably unsigned drivers?

Testing a workaround for that now. Watch the "tricks" thread tonight.

I don't get it why all of a sudden, both Win8.1 and Win10 are wrecking my partition letters. SSD despite being hooked on second SATA port is pushed in front of HDD which is on First SATA and even set as boot device in BIOS. And the order is all fucked up. Wtf, I never had these prolems before.

This nonsense also broke PING backup because of its stupid partition shuffling. Da hell?!

R-T-B · Jul 19, 2015

New post in tweaks that has a ton of useful stuff for all complaining here regarding the Windows 10 "babysitting" updates and forced driver updates.

Just a shout out.

i'm not having that issue in 8.1 or win10. i'd have to say BIOS/hardware issue on your side causing it. something unique to your machine.

Today I installed w10 on my desktop after installing and KEEPING my software on my laptop and being happy.
but DISASTER: since last friday (17 july) no more ISO and no more KEYS are published. AND, apart from not being able to activate, I also LOST my applications on my desktop.
Restorig to 8 now...
EDIT WOW best ever restoring expercience: Despite the warning "his might take several hours", it just rebooted in minutes into Win8.1 with all my software present

It's the same motherboard and BIOS I've used for years since there aren't any new updates for it.

probably software doing it then. somethings gotta be trying to assign those driver letters and screwing it up - i've got so many external drives here its easier to start from Z and work backwards, and i've never encountered that problem.

R-T-B · Jul 19, 2015

It's likely an auto driver update installing to one of your controllers and renumbering them from the generic driver... Windows update is so clever. /s

possible in W10, but not likely in 8.1

I just upgraded my windows 8.1 machine with my co workers windows 10 10240 RTM ISO and it activated automatically with my 8.1 key. I will post this ISO up monday when I get to work

i tested on two machines here and at this stage my insider edition clean installed and my 8.1 upgraded show the same result, that they are 'permanently activated'

not sure how to tell if you've been given a legit key/account yet.

The thing is, this letter reasigning totally fucks up disk backup images (they refuse to restore). I've switched to EASEUS Todo Backup app again, hopefully this will work when I'll need it...

I installed Win 10 64bit RTM on it's own hdd on my main rig. It changed my bios boot settings all by itself...WTF! It changed from boot off optical drive first to some uefi boot bios settings. I found this out as I couldn't get Win 10 to activate and so I did a 2nd fresh install. The comp kept going to desktop and bypassing the "press any key to boot off disk" prompt. What a pita! I cant get it activated so i'll wait until the 29th for my free upgrade version. :peace:

Are you sure it didn't self activate using the existing key?
