SinineSiil posted:Windows 10 keeps automatically installing wrong audio driver for my laptop that's broken and overriding working driver. Is there anything at all that I can do to stop it? Google how to turn off automatic driver installs in Windows 10. There is a setting for this. If you do this though you'll have to manually install all drivers such as printers, mice etc if you plug anything new in.

I believe Defender will scan when nothing else is going on, or minimal CPU usage. If you turn your PC on, play games, then turn it off it won't scan. If you leave it on all night, it'll scan.

On all the Windows 10 builds, I could hit the start button, start typing and poo poo would appear. Now nothing appears with the latest build. Anyone else experience this?

Space Cadet posted:Well the only issue I had was losing access to the system for an hour at a time not of my choosing. Had I been doing anything critical or lost a paper or had an exam timeout I would have been pissed, imagine going to your prof begging for another chance to rewrite a quiz or exam because Windows hosed you over. That's bullshit. Save your work. The power can go out too. If you're in the middle of something, you can choose to postpone the update.

xamphear posted:LTSB. I don't want to do full upgrade installs more than once a year, tops. Even once a year is pushing it. Upgrade installs have certainly gotten a lot better over the years, but they still result in a bunch of effort after the fact. With any luck the anniversary upgrade will have stopped stealing default program associations and I'll have completely sidestepped that minor shitshow. It won't and its not that loving hard.

I had a motherboard go bust and couldn't get my Windows key to activate with the replacement. Called em up and they sorted me out. I'm guessing you can do the same with Windows 10, they really don't give a poo poo.

We're running Pro with over 300 seats. We get it with our HP computers. Buying Enterprise with SA is fuckoff expensive and management won't approve the cost. We're lucky we have Office + SA.

Zero VGS posted:So, uh, does the Anniversary Update still require one of those 30-minute update cycles that renders the PC useless? Or in their year of planning have they maybe actually gotten it to upgrade within Windows Update with just a normal reboot required? No, it's basically a reinstall of the OS. I just finished it. Went quick and it give the option to keep my programs and files, which I did. It did reset some of my settings so I had dumb bullshit like Candy Crush again and Get Office, so I had to turn that poo poo off.

Is there a guide to removing all the bullshit or should I just not worry about it? You can right-click the icon and choose Uninstall. This works for most things, except for like the XBox app for some hosed reason. This needs a powershell command to uninstall.

dpbjinc posted:I think Cisco actually charges for your work to update the clients. Hence why they have so much trouble with Windows updates. AnyConnect v3 worked fine on Windows 7 and mostly with 10 but it wasn't supported. AnyConnect v4 requires new licensing which of course is more costly. V3 is end of life pretty soon. If you go from like 3.0 to 3.1 that's no charge.
