Well done Techno

Ever since the little white window icon appeared on my machine, luring me with a promise to upgrade to Windows 10, my Windows 7 network , which has worked ok for the last 5 years (let's face it, Windows network are never great) has been falling over every second day with exotic reasons -  .

Will try to put it off until I can afford a new machine that can cope with Windows 10.

Cheers

Well....

Seems to be working fine still.

Only important thing, (to me) that I haven't tried yet, is putting new photos in from both of the cameras.....Give that a whirl, later.
And I need to check the printers both still work.

I'm sure, that compared to a lot/most of you, we used VERY few of the 'facilities' that were available on Windows 8......So I can't say whether those, or the upgraded versions, work anymore.
(Assuming they worked in the first place !  )

Letting the dogs out !  ...They're back now, so I can go back to bed, and listen to the radio for half an hour.

Sunjester says it has screwed up his computer - he's lost his 'Start' button.

I have upgraded for a second time

About 6 months ago I went to 10. Next day I rolled back.

The issue was that every 30 secs to 2 minutes it seemed to refresh the task bar, closing any folders I had open, and making my active window – A word document for most of the short period – inactive, meaning I had to click in again.

It appears to be down to a programme called IDT Audio. You probably don't realise you have it (I think it may be primarily a lap top thing).

I upgraded again, same problem , but now the MS forums identify this as the problem (posts Dec 15)

I uninstalled it (just disabling it didn't work) and problem solved.

Everything seems fine now.   Its just a bit different to 7, like getting into a new car.

Compared to changes (upgrades) I've experienced in the past, the change from Windows 8 to 10 is barely noticeable.

Apparently losing your Windows button is quite common.

I've given up trying to get it back. It comes and goes with the various upgrades.

Hurrrumph !

Just re-installed C-cleaner.....and Google Chrome came along with it.....Cheek !.....Uninstalled it.

You gotta watch for the little boxes either tick or untick, they are very crafty

Take care

I'm a Chrome fan. That or Firefox.

Microsoft seem to lag behind these two.

I must admit I'm  a chrome fan.
