So I've had windows 10 installed on my system for about half an hour now, and why does some of the font rendering look like garbage? I mean, some of it looks fine, then I go into device manager and UGH what the gently caress, it's a blurry mess.

Because you have scaling over 100% and some windows get rendered at 100% and stretched. You probably don't use Device Manager enough for it to be a dealbreaker, but yeah how the hell did they not catch that. But you're right how the hell did they not update the Management Console to be scale-aware.

For anyone who's wondering, I switched GPUs briefly in my W10 machine the other day (testing a part) and it didn't see this as a significant enough hardware change to invalidate my install. They were both AMD Radeon cards though and I don't know how ruthless it is with hardware IDs. I'm doing a for reals upgrade to a 960 in a few weeks so fingers crossed it'll be fine with that. Has anyone been through the license transfer process yet? I never did it on W7 despite a full rebuild, I just dismissed all the notifications and after a week or so of no sign-ins from my old machine it automatically transferred over.

It's pretty odd, but yeah I go in there once a month at most. I didn't even turn scaling on anyway, so I'm wondering why it was on by default. Just turned it off anyway, scaling sucks.

Many times you change out the CPU as well and at that point you might as well consider it a completely different computer anyway. Changing one piece of anything else is usually not enough to trip the deactivation. Just be careful with mass replacements/removals.

By and large I've been a big fan of 10, but they absolutely ruined OneDrive. In Windows 8 it was great that I could see all of my files -- even the ones that weren't on my hard-drive, but they took away this feature completely for some goddamned reason.

Oh yeah, whats up with file permissions? I wiped everything and did a clean install, so I don't know why this is happening. But I notice when trying to save a pic off the internet it says I don't have permission to save in My Pictures? Wtf? I tried taking a screenshot yesterday and the screen dimmed but nothing saved. Might be of consequence that my name under c:/users/[name] has a 2 added to the end for some reason.

Enjoy Botnet! [semi-overblown] guide to ameliorating some of it:  Also, I am pissed off because it seems like Microsoft will never deign to let me upgrade - stuck at the lovely "We're validating Windows 10 for your PC" --> "OK, notify me when ready" thing forever--presumably b/c I have some obscure lovely OEM hardware, but who knows... Is the mobo typically the problem? Has anyone else actually had their PC's update roll out this late? I need to hear success stories

Anyone else with a 4K monitor here? I have an issue that has carried over from Win7 where windows do not retain their sizes after the machine has gone to sleep. I tend to pin windows to the left and right edges (so each one takes up 1920x2100-odd). Some Office apps seen to be OK but Chrome always ends up stuck to the top left corner. In addition, using Win+CL/CR only sizes those windows to quarter-screen top left/right rather than half screen left/right, until I use the mouse to drag them to the edge. This is a clean install after upgrading, so there's no remnant of Win7 invoved.

I've uninstalled "Get Office" from "Apps & Features" as well as by right clicking on it. It keeps coming back after reboots. This command, run in an elevated Power Shell, is supposed to completely remove the package from the system:code:

So here's two bugs I've encountered. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Win10 Enterprise because our KMS was just updated to support it. When I login to a local account everything works great except for Edge. It just straight up crashes and quits. When I log into my domain account, which has local admin rights, a few things don't work. The start menu will totally not load. The search function on the task bar doesn't work. Edge also crashes. I assume some of that is due to some weird policies being pushed down or something. Any ideas? edit: Googling found a dude who made a batch file to fix it. Cool.

d0s posted:A cool thing in windows 10 is how it tells you to "tap" everything regardless if you're using a touchscreen or not. You'd think they'd be able to detect if you actually have a touchscreen or not and dynamically change the wording based on that but I guess that's too advanced for the bangladesh programmer sweatshop this thing came from. Maybe it's because I went straight to 10 from 7 but I'm finding this OS really lovely from a UI standpoint, though under the hood it seems like a lot has changed for the better. The click vs tap thing was in Windows 8 as well. Also, File Explorer is so much better than Finder. Finder is bad software, and the ribbon actually good. Plus you know you can collapse it, right?

For the Search privacy issue: Note that Cortana is uploading the "Basic" diagnostic information mentioned in the privacy settings and downloading a manifest in that screenshot, which is essentially a list of files that it may need in order to work properly. Because it's disabled, it doesn't actually need those files. What probably happened is some engineer figured that since most users will leave Bing turned on, that would be a good time to send the diagnostic information in, since you're going to be making an HTTP request anyway. To keep the code simple, everybody sends in the diagnostic information at the same time, that is, when they use the search bar. It saves lines of code, reduces network traffic for Bing and Cortana users, and eliminates yet another scheduled task.

Has anyone else had a problem with Explorer not automatically refreshing files/folders? E.G.: you create a new folder and you have to manually refresh the window for it to show. It was a semi-common problem in Win 7/8 that was easily fixed with a registry tweak, but in Win 10 that same registry key doesn't exist so you can't change it.

Hey guys, posted this in the 10 preview thread, but didn't get anywhere with it. I got the rollout notification, figured "what the hell", backed up my 7 environment, and did an in-place upgrade so I wouldn't have to reinstall all my poo poo. Everything is working pretty well, still getting used to some of it... but my big issue is this: all of my Start Menu icons are blanks/generics. Any way to rebuild my start menu icons? The new apps show up fine, but everything else is affected.

I was trying to upgrade my father's laptop, turns out someone installed pirated copy of windows 7 ultimate on it, which is stupid since he has a valid license for home premium that came with the laptop, is there anything I can do to downgrade to a legit version of windows, something that wouldn't involve reinstalling? Or am I SOL?

If your upgrading to Windows 10 there's no compelling reason to bother. Just do the upgrade as is.

If you upgrade to 10 from an illegitimate/pirated version, 10 isn't activated as legit either. He'd be better off backing up his files and doing a clean install of 7 and upgrading from there. It shouldn't take very long even on older hardware.
