wormil posted:My app store hasn't worked in months, apps don't work either, and other stuff like file search, the start menu, icons, just stop and start working at random. Apps don't even show up properly on the menu. Is there some kind of fix for this stuff? A reliable guide? I googled and tried some things but it hosed poo poo up really bad and I had to do a system restore. For me I nuked my profile and created a new one. Not ideal but it worked. I've opened a case about this with MS a while ago, I'll let you know how it goes.

slidebite posted:Is there word yet on an official or unofficial tool to stop automatic downloads and installs of ~whatever~ MS wants you to have? That's probably the biggest single reason why I haven't updated any of my boxes/laptops yet. are you running Pro? you could run the Current Branch for Business and skip out on all the feature packs, just get security upgrades

Maybe seven years ago. Nowadays the only reason you'd run 32-bit is if you wanted to run 16-bit applications.

slidebite posted:3) For the whole update process, I have a laptop which I use on the road a lot (business) so I am in hotels several nights a month. Most hotels I stay in are not metered connections, however they are generally lovely connections. I do browse the net a lot at nights, sometimes do teleconference or game as well. Having a 500MB update going on in the background on a crappy borderline dialup speed connection for something I don't even need is not going to help matters. Is it possible to make updates only happen on "HOME" networks or will it try to download them regardless? I don't want to have to make a point of always asking my hotel at check in what their internet policy/connection is like in case my laptop decides it's time to download a fat update for the next incarnation of Windows games or whatever the hell it thinks I need. I would also rather not need to remember to make every new internet connection a metered/limited connection because sometimes it might be a good unmetered fat pipe and I wouldn't really mind. You can set the WiFi network at the hotel as a 'metered' connection, which'll stop the automatic updates at least.

Factor Mystic posted:Did you ever get an update on this Jeoh? I just did an in-place reinstall and it's all still busted. The one thing it fixed was the app names in the start menu now show up (rather than resource id's or w/e) but they still don't actually work. Nope, they're basically saying the same thing: Recreate the profile.

Phoenixan posted:You'll want to finalize your hardware soon, because as far as I know, Win 7 retail doesn't convert to Win 10 retail. Once you're done with your new build you'll have to go Win 7 -> Win 10 again. Win 7 retail converts to Win 10 retail just fine. As long as it's done before July 29th. You don't even need to 'upgrade' from Windows 7, you can directly enter the key into Windows 10 and it'll work. That's what I did for my current build.

Apparently Gigabyte motherboards are notorious for having problems booting from a USB, which means my Windows 10 installation stick is going to be less-than-useful. I don't have an optical burner anymore, either. You can just put the installation media (i.e. copy it from your USB stick) on your hard disk and install from there.
