I guess you will be testing it!

I don't think it's a Beta version.....but I may be wrong.

Even so. The first users will be finding the bugs for the first service pack.

ha! dont expect everything to work if you are going from w7 / 8 to w10 and some of the others - there should be a tool that checks what your hw is running prior to upgrade that should advise what may not work post w10 install - personally gonna leave as is and just buy a new machine with w10 on - the cost and inconvenience of losing programs and apps is too high risk imo
wonder if ms stock will reverse :-)
gl whatever you do

Harry - it first appeared in the system tray on June 1st - have a look here for plenty on Windows 10 - as mentioned above, you/we will be at the very least, user acceptance testing and at worst - system testing!

Windows 10 - A Good Review:

Sounds good. "It's 'Life' Jim, but not as we know it."

Can anyone recommend a reasonable free Photo + scanner software?
I need it to run on a PC with Windows Vista, preferably not a 30 day trial version and preferably not with loads of add on applications.
Am currently running a really old program called 'Photofiltre' which is now so out of date that the drivers are struggling with current scanners / printers.
All I really need it to do is run the scanner when copying docs and photos and have the ability to do basic tasks such as rotate, sharpen etc.
Possibly GIMP?

Microsoft downloads Windows 10 even if you don't ask for it

In WIN10 I have lost the X in the corner to close a page and have to click the backward arrow

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

S

Just as though you were me, please read what you have typed. It's a bit confusing.

What 'Help' do you feel you need?

1. What browser are you using?

2. Do you want to know where the 'x' has gone and how to retrieve it?

or

3. Do you want to know how to close the page?

or

4. Do you want to know how to set things up how they were "before the 'x' went missing"? Again, which browser are you using?

Ah found it , thanks anyway, I did a " back in time" job its sorted.

WIN10 seems to take over occasionally and change things.

Cheers.

Seems like I wasted some of my time and interrupted you whilst you were talking to yourself.

Can anybody please help with instructions as to how I can repair or delete and reinstall Windows Live Mail within Windows 10. Ever since using it in Windows 7 it has never saved documents into the draft folder and when messages have been successfully sent they never appear in the sent box.

I used to get round this by simply sending the E-mail without saving it and copying it to myself. This was fine until yesterday when one of the E-mail addresses I used had changed and caused problems of an endless loop when I then tried to close down the program which kept coming up with a box stating there was unsent E-mail in my outbox and did I want to send it. Previously I used to save important documents that had taken a long time to create seperately but because I hadn't experienced any problems recently I had stopped doing it and lost a huge amount of work which had to be redone. I retyped the message and sent it using Thunderbird but this program has its own problems that I find really frustrating.

I had hoped that on upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 it might have resolved the problem - unfortunately it didn't and various trawls on the Microsoft sight and google have failed to provide a solution to my problem. Is there an alternative reliable E-mail program that anyone can suggest which uses IMAP server settings?

Re post 10846 in respect of my Windows Live Mail problem everything else on the computer is working just as it should and nothing untoward has shown up during various scans which have been regularly undertaken.

It might be worth looking here for an answer.

Thanks skinny am working my way through your list which has thrown up some sugestions I hadn't already explored. Using the repair and uninstall options within Windows keeps stalling about three quarters of the way through claiming it "has encountered a problem" - Housten please bring back Outlook Express which never seemed to cause any problems over the years.

My internet keeps dropping out after @5 minutes and reloads after a similar interval - I've tried a different router, filter, cables etc - but no difference - any ideas or is likely to be my ISP or other?

Tried Ping test?

If you contact your ISP they can do some diagnostics over the connection. They can even adjust settings at their end. Which ISP is it?

Same here.

It's extremely frustrating. I use Develo adapters to make the 240v house mains function like a hard wired network.

My internet provider is BT who give me Infinity 1. When it goes down, you don't really know what's causing it. One or more of the Develo Adapters?; BT?; wiring or cables?; the modem?

But deep down, it does heavily point towards being BT.

There's kids coming home from school and the internet usage goes up. Then there's stuff like 'catch up tv' or internet tv, films, games, etc. I just cannot believe in the quality of the infrastructure.
