Is Windows 10 buggy?

[orangecat]

So far I've had so many problems with things just not working that I'm about to go back to 7. i want to like Windows 10 but it's hard too when nothing works correctly.

 

EDIT: The windows 10 search thing thats on the taskbar now fails to connect to the internet even though it was working like 10 seconds ago and clearly i still have a working internet connection or i wouldn't be typing this right now.

 

EDIT: Windows store is just a white page.

 

EDIT: Changing username doesn't change username in start menu.

yes, I installed on 2 of my machines and had to reinstall windows 8.1 same day.

I haven't had any issues with it so far. What issues are you having?

[TheSLSAMG]

I haven't had many, if any problems at all. In fact, it fixed some of my issues with Windows 10.

[EarthboundHero]

I'd recommend a fresh install. Did you have to use any trick to install it?

[burnttoastnice]

I'd recommend a fresh install, or running Disk Cleanup then Disk Defragmenter to sort out and remove clutter left behind from the install

Usually about once a day I blackscreen and have to restart my PC.

 

And sometimes the Nvidia multi display driver freaks out.

theres a bunch of issues but the main one is Windows wont update. The search thing doesnt work anymore, magnet links are broken in edge browser... I've only had it installed for about an hour and already i'm considering going back to 7.

It is a fresh install.

Well I just installed it on my system, and every time I install Firefox and reboot, the files get messed up and Windows 10 claims there are no files even if I'm looking right at them.

It sounds like its not registering the files right or soemthing. I had a problem installing Chrome where the os would still try and use edge even after i told it not to.

That's funny. Have you installed all the updates?

 

My laptop was woken up at 8am (I always have it in sleep) and according to event manager, it woke up to install a 'cumulative update'

Edge kinda sucks anyways though, just install chrome?

Windows update isnt working for me.

I have chrome installed but still...

It is pretty snappy though.

[Bordermick]

It is pretty snappy though.

Eh, I would prefer to keep all my extensions and have all my data synced up with chrome on my android too.

[Lolbroccoli]

The only problem i have had with windows 10 was with my nvidia drivers but those were fixed easily. All of my other problems came with trying to install it.

I noticed that too, i asume it just always runs in the background because it opens instantly.

Edge's rendering is accurate imo, as well as aesthetically pleasing. It's close to Firefox. There are a few bugs that need ironing out (Custom font inside forms with a shadow inset doesn't work well).

Compared to Chrome, which I find too soft, especially where text is concerned, as well as the colours being slightly darker and dull overall. Not to mention their developer tools are way too overcluttered, and I have no time to be customising dev tools. TL;DR chrome is a joke imo. On android it's fine, but on PC it is a joke.

I didn't have any problems installing it or my display drivers but everything else seems to be broken.

Windows update isnt working for me.

 

Right click the start button, click system, down at the bottom of the page where it says Windows activation, make sure it reads, "Windows is activated"

I'm not activated...

[Speaker1264]

I'm not activated...

 

Looks like you skipped the upgrade process?  You have to do the upgrade first from either windows 7 or 8.  This will validate your computer's hardware, and allow you to run windows 10 fully activated at any time.  After that you can do the clean install, and skip the activation key prompts, and once you load into windows it will see that your hardware is validated to run windows 10 and activate automatically.

For me Windows 10 renders text to sharply.
