Holy poo poo, are the intel graphics drivers for windows 10 garbage or something? Upgraded a machine at work to start testing out some apps and get a bluescreen (frownetowne) every 5 minutes.

After my first install of Win8 and experiencing that issue (it making a dumb user folder), I've always set up as a local account and then linked to MSFT account after the directory is made.

I got a free license key for the Education edition through my college's student discount shop and I'm still not entirely sure what the advantages will be over the Pro version I'd get if I just did the upgrade. (Other than obviously having an actual license key and not getting hosed if I ever decide to overhaul my PC in the future.) Looking at this comparison, it's apparently just Enterprise, but without the option to completely control Windows Updates? What the gently caress does 'Granular UX Control' even mean? Or Credential/Device Guard? gently caress, what the hell are Windows To Go Creator, BranchCache and AppLocker? It's not like I'm gonna upgrade before they fix the weird broken poo poo going on right now. I'm fine with Windows 7 for the time being. By the way, I don't know what y'all are talking about with being forced to update. After reserving my copy I just completely ignored the GWX app and eventually hid the Upgrade to Windows 10 entry from Windows Update once it started showing the button to start the upgrade in there. Hasn't bothered me since, nor has it tried to nag other accounts on the computer to upgrade.

If you reserve your free copy of Windows 10 through the GWX app it'll automatically install Windows 10 through Windows Update when Microsoft deems it fit. The act of reserving is consenting to this. This isn't communicated very well so people feel like it's "forced", particularly if you reserved it ahead of time just to be sure you didn't miss out.

That's what I did. But then when the GWX app popped up, telling me it was time to install Windows 10, I just X'd out of it and then hid the update in Windows Update. Haven't been bothered since, which was at least a week and a half ago. E: Maybe it's because I just closed the GWX thing instead of clicking the button to start scheduling the upgrade or something?

I had a Radeon on Win8.1, did the in-place upgrade to Win10, then switched to a GeForce. For some reason, Win10 is still complaining about being unable to update some Radeon drivers, even though I've run the clean uninstall utility: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16748/ And no, I don't have any Radeon software/drivers listed in Apps & features.

(Other than obviously having an actual license key and not getting hosed if I ever decide to overhaul my PC in the future.) The Education edition is functionally the same as Enterprise. The only real advantage for individuals I see is AppLocker, which allows you to set policies that say which applications are allowed to run or blocked from running. For instance, you can say that no applications should run from users' profiles, which would limit them to running applications that you installed. Later on, they're going to add Device Guard, which prevents applications you don't trust based on their certificates from running. It will use a hypervisor so that if malware does get control of the kernel, it will get erased after a restart. Windows To Go might be useful in edge scenarios; it lets you install Windows on removable media. Other than that, all the extra features are useful for businesses only.

Nvidia Optimus was the bane of my existence on my netbook. I don't know if it works in linux or whatever. I could never get an nvidia driver to install. I just use it as a media server now. Whoever thought up Optimus should be shot.

Installing on a removable media sounds pretty useful for rescue operations, but I can see why they wouldn't include it with Pro. People would just run the live version as a real OS to avoid paying. Now is at least a bit of a hassle to get the USB image. Segmentation Fault posted:I have never seen a situation or use case where optimus works well or at all.

FYI, if your Windows Store gets stuck and errors out with "Our server stumbled" (or some poo poo) on and on, it's probably because some updates have been queued up and Windows didn't get around installing them yet. But instead of telling you something specific, it's the usual Microsoft manner and you get served with a lovely HRESULT instead of a cleartext clue.

Optimus is working fine for me without any problems now and it worked fine on 8.1 as well. I'm using Lemovo's drivers rather than Nvidia's, but it hasn't given me any reason to change that.Combat Pretzel posted:FYI, if your Windows Store gets stuck and errors out with "Our server stumbled" (or some poo poo) on and on, it's probably because some updates have been queued up and Windows didn't get around installing them yet.

Well, tried the upgrade to Educational edition and its been one big pain in the rear end. Installing went fine, but Trying to install video drivers broke the first installation. Second install went again fine, but rebooting caused a black screen after the windows logo. Shutting down the pc and booting up cold seems to give less issues. But now I'm suddenly getting bad system configure info errors after a failed reboot after updates. Kinda done with it after four reinstalls, so back to W7 tomorrow.

SinineSiil posted:Optimus works fine for some people? I have to manually set every third game to run on proper GPU instead of integrated one with that super slow Nvidia control panel. (how can it be so slow?) Mine is pretty good at auto-selecting the core for certain applications. I think the only exception was Age of Empires II HD. As for the control panel itself... yeah, it does need a bit of work. Mine opens pretty quickly but I have a SSD and also don't keep a huge library of games installed at once. The one game Optimus seems to poo poo itself over for me is TrackMania United Forever. Can't get the game looking good worth a drat because it thinks I only have like 48MB of video memory.
