Perhaps this has already been pointed out but just a warning for anybody thinking of resetting their 10 install. I got the update on my Surface 3 and it activated fine. It now refuses to do so after the reset.
I keep getting the blue screen of death saying internal power error everytime I sign in. I was able to get to the desktop once but hardly anything worked. Search, start menu, even settings menu were all down. Any fixes? Or should I do a clean install, and if so, how do I do that?

Still no update, control panel still says win 10 will download when notified
OK, this is really getting to me. What a boneheaded design decision. Literally the only way to tell which window has focus is to note which program in the taskbar has the dark gray color (as opposed to the black):
I can barely fucking see a difference in those colors!
What happened to different colors on the title bars to indicate active vs. inactive windows?
Go to personalization-> colors and under the pallete, choose to show color on taskbar, etc
Then choose a color
Some colors will have a more notable difference than others

Okay, flash video choppiness fixed.
Turns out my Asus Xonar DS soundcard has some issue with Windows 10 and beta drivers fixed it. Yay.
Smooth OS transition and no other hiccups yet. Minus the two random reboots without any warnings stemming from updates.

I've tried that, and it really doesn't make much of a difference. The focused window color is still way too close to the unfocused color, regardless of which accent color you choose. And besides, it's still way easier to tell at a glance which window is active when the entire title bar is a different color.

Anyone having problems downloading the W10 version of Minecraft?
I just gave up and used the tool posted. When I checked my updates under view update it had just been failing over and over to automatically download like it was supposed to.

Eh. Mine never activated before I did the reset, but some time after I had done it the activation went through. Probably just the activation servers being a bit wonky.

Guys,
I keep seeing people ask about triggering the update or not getting it pushed etc etc. This tool has been posted many times but I think either people aren't reading the thread or not understanding what to do. The above article will walk you thru it. It is literally download and click start.

They lie, use the tool.

Has anybody with the "trial period expired" bug managed to fix it? I have it for Edge and Feedback only it seems. I also can't sign into the store.
I think both have something to do with this device limit thing (that I haven't hit, unless the limit is 1).

Anyone had any major problems with 7zip?
I think it's causing my security settings to go on the fritz and locking me out of copying files to the Program Files folder and a few others.
Really strange issue that locks me out of editing admin permissions. Took me two hours to fix it. I reinstalled 7zip, used it once, then noticed the problem was back.
Real pain in the ass.

No, the notifier only appears when the computer is ready to restart to upgrade.
Poorly designed.
I use 7-zip as well. Hm.
Maybe that's the issue?

Use the media creation tool (the link has been posted like five times per page). Contrary to what its name suggests, it's not just for creating bootable media, you can also just use it to upgrade right away. No waiting for Windows Update necessary.
My laptop went back to 8.1 with zero fuss. Everything was how I left it.

So far this is starting up WAAAAAY slower than 8.1 did.
Slower than 7 too.

Where can I get more information about errors that prevent installs?
0xC1900101 - 0x20004
The installation failed in SAFE_OS phase with an error during INSTALL_RECOVERY_ENVIRONMENT operation
I received that one.
This is the shitties update experience I've had with Windows.

It's on par with win 8 for me. Few seconds to the desktop.

Wait for it to settle with finish installing and setting up stuff?
No it's not.
Tried highlighting what's bolded. It's pretty pathetic tbh.
Firefox doesn't show up...

Maybe reinstall your previous os so it's clean and then upgrade?

So what exactly happens If I click schedule for later on the installation menu?
Does it simply postpone it?
I'm not going to upgrade right now because it's storming where I live and my electricity seems to always go out during storms.

This isn't the first time I've started it.
It's like the 6th. And it starts up significantly slower than 8.1 did. By "so far" I didn't mean "the first time" I meant "before any updates/patches/what-have-you that will be coming"
Thanks! It seemed to work.
It will from Chrome and IE......NOT Firefox..
IE is probably the only browser supported at the moment. If you really want to do it you can export a file from Firefox, import that file to IE, and then import to Edge.

These sticky corners are really pissing me off. The red lines represent brick walls that no mouse can move through when moving between monitors:
Pretty sure that was like that on Windows 8 also. Mine would always grab the corners.
