  1. I update Windows on the Insider track not to get virus protection, but to get the feature set. I also know that there is no virus on the computer because I've had the laptop for 3 days and on my other computers which I've had for 5+ years I've never gotten a virus before. @2bitmarksman I can get cmd up, yes, but all of the commands that I've found online to fix the issues don't work because of Win10's new admin programs and stuff.
  2. @L. Lawliet you can't defer updates in Windows 10, and I don't have a backup or system restore point because the laptop is so new.
  3. I'd really rather not do that if I can avoid it. Thanks!
  4. As it happens, Google Chrome is installed on one of my computers (Windows 10 Home Insider Release Preview) in two instances: beta and Canary. Both instances were linked to one of my google accounts. Today, there was an issue that was coming up on the browser in which if I tried to click on the web page details (where it says secure and has a lock), the menu does not pop up. In addition, if I click the user's name in the upper right hand corner where a profile select menu normally comes up, it also does not pop up. This was the case in both instances of Chrome even after disabling all of the extensions and removing my account from both instances. However, I know that those two should be clickable because in another installation of Chrome with my same account synced on it on another one of my computers with an equivalent version (beta 58.something) and a equivalent version of Windows 10, the menus are able to come up. Therefore, it most likely has to something with the installation of Chrome on this computer. Thus, I tried to uninstall Google Chrome from this computer. I tried to uninstall the Canary section first, first using Control Panel. No dice. Nothing came up, not even a Windows permission screen for Google Updater etc. Next, I tried to uninstall it from the Settings app, which has been updated with the Creators update in Settings>>Apps>>Apps and Features. This time, a Windows permission screen came up, and a new Chrome canary window icon appeared in the taskbar to the right of all my pinned apps. It was titled "Uninstall Google Chrome" when hovering over it, but the preview and the app itself was blank, meaning that I could see right through to the settings app underneath it. I closed this window using the 'x' that is shown on the edge of the window preview after leaving it alone for 5 minutes and having nothing come up. Running through the same thing (control panel first, then the Win10 settings app) for the beta version, the exact same result happens. Now what should I do to fix the problem?
  5. Use an Amazon Web Services Snowmobile or Snowball instead
  6. If they have a phone and have data, isn't the built in features of find my (insert device name here) more useful than chucking money down the drain on such a tag? Isn't this already redundant? There are some cheap smartphones that could do just fine with the same functionality, perhaps even more, and still allow you to communicate effectively with your children.
  7. If cost is no object, (i.e. MSDN for example) and if most of my clients are running Windows 10, would you recommend using Windows Server 2016 on a NAS versus the other options, such as FreeNAS? If so, what version of Windows Server 2016 would you recommend? (This is just a hypothetical question, although I might build a NAS in the future using this recommendation.)
