Monday...tried to log into my computer after work only to get an error. I tried again and got the same error. I re-booted the computer and got a little further. I tried this a few more times and eventually got a black screen with a flashing window bar. To me, it appears that the computer was in a loop of sorts. I took out the tablet to see what the issue is and to see what the fix might be. I found some info regarding AVG being the cause. This made sense as I had a message that my antivirus software would expire recently. So I figure that AVG messed up my access to windows 10.
Now to fix the issue. I had a bit of trouble getting into safe mode. I turned my machine on and off 3 times to access safe mode. Messy but it works. I tried to fix windows but that would not work. I also tried to roll back the operating system but found out there were no saved points (I had enabled this a while back but it must have either turned off, or never worked).
I then pulled out the recovery USB drive. After trying to boot from the drive twice, I realized I had to change the boot sequence in the BIOS. Once again I tried repairing Windows 10. That did not work. I was forced to format my drive and reinstall the operating system. That fixed the problem. It did not take much time to install things and to get my computer up to speed.
Got to love Windows 10. :facepalm:

One of the reasons I have gravitated to Ubuntu Linux recently. I was going to buy a new copy of Windows 10 when I got my latest PC put together, but decided to try Ubuntu 18.04LTS for the heck of it. Well, lets just say, didn't buy Windows after that. :)
Yup! After battling for AGES with Win 7 on a laptop that came new with Win 7 installed, but just kept getting slower and slower, I installed Debian Linux. Works better than it ever did with Windows. The only hiccup I ever have, is it sometimes loses connectivity with the USB ports, one at a time, but only if I've left it on for an extended period, and a restart fixes it every time.

I really don’t understand win 10, on win 7: you install an office pack and BOOM you are set! ...you have the office pack on a disc so you can install it on all the PCs you want.
On win 10, everything has to go through a “Microsoft account” that you have to create, and then you have to do a paid subscription for something as simple as word or excel......yes; you can do a “one time payment” but that is ONLY for that 1 computer and €150? ...really Microsoft? ...really?
I think that’s super greedy of them!
Plus I hate how they have tried to copy Apples idea with the “app” like icons in the start menu on win 8 and 10....it’s stupid and extremely confusing!
If I just want to view a picture; it opens “windows reader” that throws a fit when you want to close it, and it still doesn’t close fully and keeps the file open. So if you want to delete the picture or move the file to an external disc; you get an error saying “the file is still in use by another program”
So you have to “Ctrl, Alt, Delete” - task manager; and then close “Windows reader” from there.
Like; who comes up with this stuff and who approves this thinking it’s a great idea!?
I have none of these problems on my laptop running win 7, and I also have a MacBook Pro running the latest OSX and I have none of these problems on that either.

You can install older office on win10 using the CD and without using the MS account stuff, that's only really if you need the latest and greatest (which while the subscription model of Adobe products makes sense, most people do not need such a thing for office) All MS are trying to do with the Store is create a walled garden type space like on IOS devices. However you still have the option to choose outside apps.

Wouldn't touch itunes with a barge pole. Since we do a radio show we get sent a lot of music via ipools (not related) so itunes isn't really necessary.

Now retired, have two Chromebooks, mine and a unit for wife. Not a single issue ever.
Will not pay for MSWindows ever.

Yes, I do not like giving Microsoft more than they can get from me. I CD install Office 2013 Pro. I do not need anything newer. At work we use a newer version of Office that stores mostly to the cloud...which I was never a fan off. I would much prefer to have a tighter security on one computer than saving your docs to some server somewhere else. Just call me slightly paranoid.
My home laptop is running Windows 7 as well. I much prefer it to 10. I updated the home desktop for free when MS was giving out free upgrades. Fact is, It is a bit more convenient for me to use 10 at home as I must use it at work. I tend to stumble a little when I am on my win 7 laptop anymore...it is a bit funny actually. I do like that with win 7 you have better access to settings. That is something I do miss somewhat on 10.
I use my home computer mostly for gaming and work. Oddly enough, I tend to prefer my Samsung Tab A for browsing these days.

It seems like the auto sleep mode is the key to the wife's issues. Manually switching it to sleep is fine, but if I set it to for example "go to sleep when idle after 20 minutes" from what I've read online it goes into some sort of quasi defrag/maintenance or something (unnecessary as it's running on SSD) and won't wake properly without a power cycle since it's not technically asleep or awake.
The only solution that seems logical is to disable the auto sleep and only manually trigger it. :facepalm:

It wouldn't boot up sometimes, unless you hard/soft reset it.
Disabling auto sleep, and only shutting off manually, seemed to fix it.

I thought my SSD had become faulty recently, hence checking out new prices. The laptop would freeze regularly and a hard restart was all I could do. Searching revealed this symptom as a characteristic of a failing SSD. Great! Then someone suggested seeing if the RAM cards matched. They didn't, but pulling them out and reseating them seems to have fixed the problem.
Linux Mint here btw. It's straightforward and polished with nice artwork and I like that it's supported for five years. Like most Linus OSs, it's also highly configurable to one's taste. I've used various forms of Linux since the turn of the century. :tu:
From the short sessions I've had with it, Win10 seems OK on the surface. I'd be happy to use it if I had to use Windows only software. However, since I detest MS's snooping and control, I'd never let it anywhere near the internet! >:D

it's always nice to have a fallback image.
there's also the possibility of scripting the install... rather than having to input the setup info every time, it automagically does it, plus some other software installs.
not that I use any of this since I'm on linux 99% of the time now. :facepalm:

I was forced once again to update...which once again caused my system to loop boot. This time around, I booted from the USB Windows Media Creation Tool I created last time. I made sure to format every boot partition I could find. This time, Windows looks very different. After checking my version history...looks like I am now up to version 1903. X fingers this is the one that will be stable. Only time will tell. Now I have to go back and make everything as I like it...which will take some time.

My latest battle with Win10 over the automatic driver updates on my laptop.
Windows installs a much newer intel graphics driver, but it is total garbage and makes any game unplayable with really bad shearing... so I have to manually install the last manufacturer driver which works fine, until windows decided it was old and replaced it again... eventually had to make a registry change to force windows to leave the drivers alone. But it's an all or none case, which is sort of aggravating as I would actually only want it to leave the graphics driver alone.
I do want to wipe and clean install that laptop, but it's my only device while I'm working abroad, so I don't want it out of commission or go through the setup of everything right yet.

I did not like how MS Edge was displayed front and center and did not give me any options to opt out short of rebooting my computer. The choices on the pop up screen was accept and accept. Are things so bad in the US that Microsoft can get away with this heavy handedness without fear of reprisal from watch dogs, etc?
I never liked Edge...even less...Bing.
Found this...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-windows-updates (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-windows-updates)
Now I am actively looking to see if I can delete Edge from my OS. I figure probably not...but I will look into it.
UPDATE: I found this...a blocker toolkit to disable automatic updates to Edge for enterprise customers. :facepalm:.

However, it attempts to trick you into accepting their web browser and search engine via a one way on rails choice...meaning no choice whatsoever. It basically forces you to reconfigure your settings as it gives you no choice in the matter. That is what got me angry about Microsoft's recent attempt at monopolizing.

If you have an old Win7 pro key laying around you can upgrade I believe? (this is a win7pro key I had that was unused)

Update: Went without a hitch. MS still trying to get me on Edge. This time around, it was a suggestion and not a dictate.

SteveC, Windows 10 does not ask you for permission. It will feed you updates and do other things in the background all on its own. Microsoft says it is so that all machines out there are updated and get the new bug fixes..but it can be highly annoying. My older computer couldn't get the updates and would crash every-time stuck at 33% install. In fact, that was so bad that I had to re-format every-time towards the end. Worse yet, I could not defray the install for a later time. My new build takes these updates with no issues.
I'm quite familiar with the Win10 updates this BIOS update was from HP not Microsoft.
