Nice work. I think it's a great idea to address the whole privacy paranoia bandwagon that has started due to Windows 10. I'm terribly amused at the tinfoil hat reaction to this whole thing.

Katosabi posted:My upgrade to Windows 10 has been a pleasant experience on my desktop, except for the fact entering my pin on the login screen now has to wait for my HDDs to spin up coming out of sleep. It kinda defeats the purpose of having an SSD with this behavior. Windows 7 never had this issue, I could type my whole password before the monitor woke up and it'd be sitting there ready to go. Has anyone else experienced this?

d0s posted:I just came into a much better SSD than the one I'm using now (6gb/sec vs 3gb/sec), just wondering what the best method for transferring my entire system over to that would be? Last time I had to do something like this was like 10 years ago and it involved norton ghost and poo poo. I'm guessing there's some streamlined way to do it in win10? Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Backup and Restore (Windows 7) Click "create a system image" on the left panel. Select a location to save the image to. A secondary hard drive is best. Boot from the Windows 10 installation DVD/USB and use the system image restore feature to get things onto the new SSD.

Krailor posted:I've got a slightly different sleep issue. My monitor goes to sleep after 10 min of inactivity no matter what. I've gone though the Power Plan, Power & Sleep options, Advance Power Settings and changed everything to never sleep or turn off the monitor and it's still turning off after 10 min.

Flipperwaldt posted:What you get from the free upgrade isn't a retail license. The first time around I did the upgrade thing when moving to Windows 10. Recently I upgraded my motherboard, naturally invalidating that upgrade license. I had zero intention of reinstalling W8 and redoing the whole upgrade just to activate again. It was much, much easier to just resort to  Hopefully the new build will just let me activate with my retail W8 license.

xamphear posted:Are you saying you installed the update via the ISO? Or that your windows update automatically installed and it did a full Insider-style OS upgrade? I just got done doing the TH2 upgrade from the website. I had two issues. The first was my keyboard not being detected, even after restarting, until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. The second was the new PCIe wireless card I installed yesterday not being detected until after a reboot. Specifically, the bluetooth part was working (internal USB connection) but not the WiFi part for some reason.  And apparently CPU-Z and Speccy were uninstalled automatically for some reason. Other than that, smooth sailing. Booting seems to be faster.

GokieKS posted:The difference between a service pack and an OS upgrade is just semantics, especially when the NT kernel isn't even being updated. So Calling Build 10240 to Build 10586 something analogous to Windows 7 to Windows 8 is a major stretch. I'm not sure how you can say with certainty that the kernel isn't being updated anyways.

August 2nd is the day of the anniversary update. I'll probably acquire it earlier if the build is already available for insiders.

Have they fixed the dumb Windows 10 activation nonsense? I want to activate it using my retail Windows 8.1 Pro license. It was originally activated that way but a motherboard upgrade broke it. Re-installing Windows 8.1 to do the upgrade thing has been always been a non-starter even before that offer ended.

I've noticed that my folder view settings for my libraries are not staying identical for the whole library like they should be. Is this a recent change or is something broken for me? To clarify, when viewing libraries, the view settings (columns, spacing, view type, etc.) are supposed to be shared for all folders in the library.

Alexander DeLarge posted:I don't get the hate for Windows 10. Disable the telemetry, privacy concerns gone. Don't like UWP? Don't use it. Don't like touchscreen poo poo? Don't go into tablet mode. If you realize that then you have no problem leaving it on. If you think Microsoft is lying and telemetry is an issue then they might as well also be lying about the button to disable it actually doing anything. People are way too hysterical over this as opposed to appreciating that Microsoft is being upfront about what information they collect. All the hysteria is doing is telling the rest of the industry that they should just keep it all a secret because users are dumb.

Thanks Ants posted:Can you? A few weeks later I upgraded my motherboard and activation was broken. There was no way in hell I was going to reinstall W8 again just for that so I used unofficial means to activate it. With the anniversary update, it now recognizes that my Microsoft account has an official activation tied to it. Everything is good now.

In explorer there are convenient buttons on the bottom right for switching between thumbnail and detail view. Unfortunately the thumbnail button switches only to large thumbnails, which are not very useful to me on my giant screen. Is there any way to change the behavior of this button so it switches to extra-large sized thumbnails instead?
