I did the free upgrade to 10 and now I'm getting BSOD with the message memory_management. Never happened before with 8.1. I did some searching online and found some forum posts where users had the same issue, but do any of you know if there's a decent article out there somewhere on this topic and why it's happening to me now?

Lol is this really happening? I'm speechless.

Yep, I just opened my start menu after your post and there it is.

On the store tile, when you search, or elsewhere? I don't see it.

So it installed itself or did you just clean install/upgrade/update and it was there? I mean, I guess it's like the built in games but jeez, that's annoying. Candy Crush of all things.

I just did my free upgrade on Friday, and it's there. Never had candy crush on this machine. Also never had skype or twitter.

It's just an ad for it. If you click it it takes you to the store to download it.

I think I'd rather have them install some dumb game I could later remove than provide advertising space inside my OS. Does Apple do this with their OS or is Windows blazing trails here?

Uh, why do you think for the past 20 years computers came with a whole bunch of random poo poo installed? It makes money for OEMs and Microsoft.

Lol I've been building my computers for so long and doing clean OS installs I forgot about all that poo poo that used to ship with manufactured computers.

But that at least wasn't screen real estate devoted to ads for poo poo.

Right click on the suggestion/ad and choose never show suggestions.

I just did that over candy crush, and it turns out it was installed after all, I had an option to uninstall the app and its associated data.

I did the free upgrade to Win 10, and less than a week later I'm sitting here having to troubleshoot a non-functional computer. Worst case scenario is that the motherboard has failed and I have to replace it.

Does this mean I just wasted my Win 10 free upgrade or will someone at Microsoft help me out since I still have the original Win8 license and I'm within 30 days of the upgrade?
