Anyone have issues with the latest Nvidia graphics driver keep rolling back? I've had to install the new one 3 times now. Keeps going back to 353 or something when the new one is 355.

Did you do the Colored Title Bars hack?
Because that seems to force the Classic Theme on most programs.

Apologies if this has been discussed already(did a search and didn't find any posts related to it), but is anyone else experiencing a bug with the Action Center where if you click on the notification it does absolutely nothing? It's kind of driving me insane and I'm seeing the issue on both my Surface 3 and my desktop.

because you allow it to have so much wasted space
question to anyone using opera on windows 10, do the scrollbars and buttons look old style like this?

I just find it weird that it's defaulted to that. Some other minor strange decisions too like the X on the top right of windows not being red by default. I wonder if they forgot somehow or it was some weird design decision.
Call the activation hotline and explain what happened
Right. Thanks a bunch

What game?
Some games have issues with the default controller driver that comes w/ Windows 10.
So the changed right-click taskbar menu in build 10532 - they just painted it black and called it a day. It's dark-themed, like all right-click menus in taskbar and menu start, but:
- compared to jump-list menu it has smaller font, white border and doesn't have opening animation;
- compared to menu start right-click menu it smaller font, shadow and doesn't have opening animation;
- compared to desktop right-click menu it has dark theme applied;
So now on desktop alone we have not three, but four differently looking right-click menus. Not to mention, all right-click menus in system try still have the default theme applied.
I appreciate that Microsoft wants to address complains about lack of UI unification, but as it is now, it's still not enough and I have no idea why anyone thought that the system should be released in this state to Insiders at all.

I'm giving up on upgrading to Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 1. Downloaded the MediaCreationTool to create a bootable USB drive and I've started the installation afterwards. Upgrade stops and I get a message "The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during blabla". The same shit I got when installing the Windows 10 Preview on my Surface. I solved the problem back then with creating a bootable USB drive with Rufus and settings like "GPT partition scheme for UEFI firmware". Thing is: I installed the preview on a second partition and created a dual-boot. When I try it with that Rufus stuff now I can start the Upgrade at the start of my Surface. A couple of license agreements and blabla later I get a compatibility report stating that I need to restart and launch the Upgrade from my Windows 8 Desktop, which is the thing that I've tried and mentioned here first. It looks like I'm screwed and would need to make a clean-install which I won't do just because Microsoft screws up their shit upgrade.
I gave up too (failed in second boot phase crap...). Maybe MS will update the installation one day so it works.

Have you been keeping up with Windows Update? That's where the Win 10 upgrade prompt comes from.

You may be able to force it here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install
Anyone know when the Start Menu bug will be fixed? Right now we can't have more than 512 shortcuts in our Start Menu without it being bugged and the rest of the shortcuts to the >512 programs won't display in the Start Menu
They have been working on it for over a month, a fix is coming but no idea when.
I'm hoping they fix it soon because it makes search somewhat useless (since it doesn't pick up the items that are missing from the Start Menu).

Nvidia finally issued a driver (355.82) which makes 4K desktop at 60 hz work without flickering and mouse cursor corruption. My media PC is now back on Win10 and it's running great now.

Even hdmi sticks are now coming with more usb ports than the surface line. Ms has to add a second one on the SP4
I had the same problem with "SAFE_OS phase" thingie on my netbook. I Clean Booted my Windows 7 and used the media installation tool there and that solved - I don't know if you can do that in a Surface Pro though, I've never used one

Any reason why Cortana can't translate to languages that bing translator can? I thought Cortana was bing powered.

so anyone here on a HD4000 or higher internal gpu having video playback issues? intel really need to step up their driver updates because right now my tablet is half useless because high bitrate video will corrupt and pause but the sound will keep playing, it's so annoying.
Edge is getting WebM support

So many good things are happening within Microsoft, especially with WIndows 10 at the helm.
I really like that compute stick, may need to look into replacing my old laptop that's behind my TV lol.

As soon as it gets add-on support I'm jumping over to Edge
Until Vivaldi's ready to go for mainstream use

Cherry Trail is the new Atom that's also in the Surface 3. It's a big step up from the old Bay Trail Atom.
But like I said, the real killer news here is that Intel is working on Core M CPUs for Compute Sticks. You can find Core M CPUs in new, fanless Ultrabooks or the new MacBook Air and while I'm sure it still has to be throttled a lot to make it fit in that small package, it should still be a big step up from the Atom CPUs.

OneNote mobile just got an update and now you can change the thickness of the pen (you still can't change the eraser size, which is still only available on the medium size or stroke)

I know this is a Win10 thread and not about groove music, but I have to say I really like the mockups someone recently did for a music player in KDE...
I mention it here to show that it IS possible to do flat design with some color and contrast.

This probably has been asked before: With the free upgrade, am I forced to do an upgrade or can I do a clean install? If so, how would I do that?
brotkasten
Member
You can upgrade and then reset the OS, which equals a clean install.
TerryLee81
Member
Thanks, that's good to know.
Edit: was thinking of the Surface App ignore
Alternatively you can upgrade, activate, and then do a clean install.
The upgrade is required, so Microsoft knows your key is good for Windows 10 now.
I hope you have a Pro, because the Surface RT line is not getting windows 10.

AFAIK it is officially not possible.
Upgrade once on the same platform, to activate the key. then you try a clean install, or maybe an install that saves your data

Is anyone using the Creative Sound Blaster Z on Windows 10? How is it? Are the drivers working perfectly? I'm currently using a Creative XtremeGamer and I'm having some audio popping in games, and Creative support basically told me the card is old, don't expect much more support so I'm thinking about grabbing the SBZ which is £50 on Amazon if you get the OEM version. Side question, will it be a noticeable upgrade over XG? I assume so as it's 7 year old newer tech but I have no idea, I just want a crystal clear microphone and sound for gaming.

Just switched. Wouldn't have been fun without a slight hiccup at the installation phase: got an error every time I chose any of my drives to install. Ended up finding a random solution related to boot priority.
Anyway, so far so good. Downloads are faster and Steam no longer suffers from going to 0 bytes/s every few seconds while downloading shit.
Still have the same issues with personalization options: too tablet-y. I wanted to see cool, animated wallpapers and other visual improvements. The average machine can handle it. Instead, it went backwards.

Animated wallpapers are supported AFAIK, they were there naively in 7
