Windows 10 = fail

[Martines91]

Well I was hyped for it, and got it 2 weeks ago, now I am greatefully regreting it, until last week everything was fine, but last week I had the first crash, I said: ok so this happened in 7 too, yesterday I had another crash then I was like: what the? today, well, today I had 3 crashes no longer than 2 hours apart, each time saying different thing, like it was just picking a random error and making it crash, it literally said something that a "page was not found, therefore, crash" great, Faildows 10, I should've seen this coming I knew I should backup my old system, guys, just don't pick it if you didn't already

most issues are because of no clean install. did you do a clean install or saved all of your files and programs?

[Duskie]

did you even try a clean install?

[pwn_intended]

Do a clean install and you will not be experiencing this. Anytime you upgrade an OS from one version to another, you will carry over many errors from the previous, and run the risk of introducing new ones. A clean install forgoes all this and should yield MUCH better results.

What's happening? A little details on the crashes?

You don't necessarily need to d a completely fresh install. Instead, if you're getting problems with your upgraded version, just mash F10 on startup and Factory Restore. It's just as good but without the hassle of having to go through setup.

i meant when you did the upgrade, you were give the option to either keep your files and programs or clean them. keeping them causes so many errors

[Martines91]

no way I'm going to reinstall every single thing I have installed on my PC, do you realize that would take me like 2 days of just downloading? not to mention setting it back as it is, I don't have the nerves for that kind of thing.. also it crashes whenever I try to use my graphics tablet.

 

But if a clean install works then ok, but upgrading = fail

[Altecice]

Fault at user, not OS... Just because you have a bad experience with it doesn't mean its a failure for everyone else. I have deployed it across 4 of my devices (ranging from low to ultra hardware specifications) and its been flawless.

[pwn_intended]

If you have a TON of junk on your computer before, an upgrade will be horrible. If you had a relatively clean OS, then the upgrade should be ok. As someone who built their own computer, you should be prepared to have to re-format your drive and start fresh sometimes. Its the nature of the beast.

bean using since a week, did a upgrade from win 7 and didnt do a clean install, no crashes whatsoever.

[Martines91]

well, I will be buying a new PC soon, so... then I might reinstall it, but I think Microsoft should have prepared for these kind of things, or at least give me an idea of what is wrong so I could fix it not just "hurr durr if yu want tu kan serch this error on the web lol hurr durr, smiley face to make you feel better... or worse" that kind of help is useless

[Martines91]

woot woot, this just in: 4th crash of the day, but hey this time I wrote down the super informative error description from which I can fix my PC yay "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" very info much fix such good wow

Likely most of your issues are being caused by drivers and 3rd-party software. If you did an upgrade on a blank windows 7 install, likely it would work fine.... except maybe drivers. 

 

1. Did you "do the trick" to make it install sooner? This means you forced it to install before it was ready for your machine.

2. Many drivers were barely ready for Windows 10. Try updating your key drivers by going to the manufacturer's website (key as in, network, sound, video, motherboard etc). 

3. Manually run updates for every third-party program you use.

a helpful tip, thanks, because yes, I skipped the waiting, so I'm going to check it now

I forget the post, but, somwehere a Microsoft exec explains why people were not getting upgrade right away. Essentially, if you system did not meet a certain criteria (x number of people have tested using your setup and its worked fine type deal) then it wouldn't install immediately. It could have been as much as weeks before it would be available.

 

Heck, I forced mine to update too. Thankfully, after updating 2 programs and my network drivers, all crashes are gone for now.

well I hope you're right, I'm updating every "key" drivers that I could find, everything for my MoBo (sound, lan, GPU, and others) so I hope it will be fixed, because I admit it, this UI is lovely and the smoothess is as good, and I said I liked it and enjoyed it until the recent crashes

Yup I've reinstalled win 7 at least once a month for the last year on my laptop (due to a small and dying HDD).. Then I bought an external back up drive.. Saved me so much time when formatting

[NumLock21]

Just run the recovery process and you can go back to your previous OS, that is unless you did not do a disk clean up and remove it. It should be in Start/Settings/Updates and Security/Recovery

I've Had My PC On For 1 Month Strait Running Windows 10,No Crashes

Actually, not really... the issue is between the chair and the screen. Having a correctly configured OS is the user's responsibility. 99% of hardware has stable drivers. The reason a 'clean' install is what gets recommended? because it is easy.

[pwn_intended]

Shhhhh, we don't want them to know that.......
