So I'm a PC user at a Mac/Linux company and my suffering is basically equivalent to religious persecution and since the anniversary update came out I've been trying to run our scripts (particularly Gradle) on the new Windows Bash shell, but as soon as it gets to any part of any task that uses Java it just kinda hangs forever with no error output or anything. Is this a common issue, and if so is there a fix, or is there just something borked with my Java configuration? Google is remarkably unhelpful about anything to do with the Windows Bash shell.

Cugel the Clever posted:You not running an SSD? I wouldn't fault start menu search on its speed (virtually instantaneous, at least for programs), as much as its lack of whatever adaptive filtering Launchy does that more consistently returns your intended result at the top of the list (it instead seems to boost Windows store apps, because reasons). I'd love to stop using a 3rd party start menu replacement/launcher, but man, Microsoft just can't seem to get the Start Menu back to working as well as it did in 7. And to be clear, I don't care about the UI as long as it's not full-screen. I don't set my current menu replacement to look just like 7 did. I just need it to be super fast and very reliable. I want to hit the windows key, type 2 letters, and hit enter and have the right program launch, all without me having to pay attention to the menu itself. "Did it open? Am I typing into nothing while it lags? Did it miss the first couple characters? Did it fail to do a correct partial match?"

Yes, been running SSDs for ages. I'm still on 7 myself, but Launchy is just faster than the start menu search, and filters quicker based on the things I've launched before with say, a single letter.

After the Win 10 update installed successfully, I manually installed an update to Avast Antivirus, and when it restarted the system, the computer would bluescreen during Windows startup, reset, and repeat erroring out and restarting. Trying to have Windows fix the problem itself didn't do anything, but when I booted into safe mode and uninstalled Avast, Windows would start normally again. Is there some known issue between Avast and this Windows update, or did I come across some one-in-a-million problem?

After win 10 update Microsoft decided i didn't need chipset drivers and replaced them all with Microsoft default drivers from 2006, bluescreened 10 minutes in after first boot. In device manager i was able to restore some of them using update driver, but others not at all, had to do some googling to find the sata driver and extract it off an amd installer. Great experience overall, i am sure this would be something an average user would deal with without any issues.

This for me is what really sets Launchy apart from anything I've seen the Start menu search do. Launchy learns what I mean why I type a given character or two, whereas the Start menu always seems to return the same alphabetical list of hits. To be fair, I've been using Launchy almost exclusively since XP, so maybe if I gave the Start menu some time it would do the same thing?

The new UAC window is weird, primarily because it doesn't use your theme colour. I guess they want it to be noticeable?

That, and I recall reading there have been a ton of issues with Avast and Windows 10 in general. When I first upgraded to Win10, I was looking into a new antivirus at the time to see if there a reason to switch off of Defender, and all my searches turned up a bunch of info that Avast was messing with Windows 10 in numerous ways.

I'm not sure if I'm going insane or not, but: After I installed the Windows 10 anniversary update the tray icons (+ show desktop) appear only on my main display. Was/is it possible to have them show on all monitors? I've dug through what I think was every setting and I can't find anything. At best I can have the calendar duplicated. At this point I'm not even sure if I imagined this being possible or not.

Avast! was a major trigger for the start menu hangs people were facing pre-1511 and has generally been poor on win 10. Plus, what people above said about AV in general. Defender is actually OK, ignore sponsored blog posts that point you to poor test scores from 2014

I've uninstalled Avast, but I can't turn on Defender - an error message pops up after a couple of seconds saying the service has been turned off, and Defender itself says that another AV is handling protection. Any idea how I can fix that? I've run CCleaner and disk cleanup to try to hoover up any stray files and restarted the system, but nothing so far.

Do you have any other sort of anti-virus/anti-malware/firewall installed? A lot of firewall/anti-virus/anti-malware programs turn off Win10's native protection programs, and Win10 won't let them be reenabled while the other programs are still installed. Also check the Services window to see if the Defender services are running. You can also see if Defender has been disabled through the Group Policy Editor. Can't remember the exact steps for that one, but a quick Google search will show you how.

If I'd remembered, I would have turned it back on. I'm looking for locations of things I might have toggled many months ago. I don't believe I did anything with the registry or the command line.

if you have a Education version, cortana was turned off by mictrosoft. someone in their PR dept realized the optics of serving ads to school kids was terrible. (especially if they were to show inappropriate ones because some kid searched for naughty stuff one time while the teacher wasn't there.) so they've disabled cortana until they figure out how to make it not show ads*. *translation = until they can figure out how to hide the change deep enough that everyone else won't just copy the bit that stops ads from showing up Otherwise you have something going wrong, and win10 troubleshooting seems to be "turn settings on and off until it works". Other people upthread have said turning bing search back on helped. The last big update some people had to create new user profiles to fix broken stuff.

Just manually delete registry entries. they're in: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.bmp\Shell\T3D Print (.jpg, .png, etc) SystemFileAssociations is also where you will find lots of other useless junk for the context menu, like setting images as the desktop background or casting audio & video. Unfortunately it looks like win10 will be resetting edits to Classes with every major update which will kinda suck. this one isn't a shellex, it's just a regular shell command. but stored in a different place.

It doesn't properly uninstall leaving windows to assume it's running, and defender won't start. You need to grab their removal tool and run it. Pick every product and hit remove just in case.

Hopefully it sneaks into a minor update somewhere along the way before the year is out but I'm not holding my breath.
