Submitted on 5/6/2017 Review title of d1g1t007Great, when you clean install.Upgraded from 8 to 10, then it got hung on version 1511 and would not move past there. I wasted so much time trying to delete old updates, re download them. It kept reverting back to a prior version of windows.
I wasted days, hours, cursed, it brought out the very worst in me. If I would only have done what I tried to avoid in the beginning. Here's the fatal problem with Windows 10 when you upgrade from 7, 8, 8.1.
You carry with you this incredibly long chain of updates. The probability you are going to have an error increases with every update as your chain of updates gets longer. Because you already have Windows 10, Microsoft allows you to download an ISO file of windows with an installation software and you can put it on a usb drive. When you are done downloading you can boot off of the usb drive.
I cloned my original hard drive to a SSD so this was easy. To boot off the hard drive, press and hold down F2 while you computer is starting.

Then you can change boot option to usb. Windows installation software starts and you can then wipe your hard drive clean and do a fresh install of Windows 10. You then need to download your drivers for your computer from your manufacturer. This whole process took less than 30 minutes. Now my computers are ultra fast and I don't have to worry about update errors. Microsoft should explain this process to people!
Submitted on 4/28/2017 Review title of DashoBricked my computerDespite the fact that my system meets all the listed technical requirements, Microsoft now tells me my Dell Laptop is actually not compatible with Windows 10. Unfortunately, there was no way for me to know that until after running the install program which erased my previous operating system before. Now I have a computer that doesn't work, can't be restored, and a copy of Windows 10 that's completely useless. (And have been hung up on 3 times while trying to get customer support.).
Submitted on 4/19/2017 Review title of DeesbikeFrom Vista to Windows 10I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows. After doing so and having to back up everything possible if you do decide to upgrade from Vista to Windows 10 make sure you backup your desktop anything like that because you will lose it. Right now I'm trying to get the scanner to work on my printer which is a total different setup which I'm trying to figure out,otherwise it's okay program. I had Windows 7 on my laptop which I was used to which I can Zippity Doo Dah through it, but Windows 10 is a little bit harder to deal with. Recommend it.

Hello,In windows 8.1 enterprise there was a group policy to disable the Store app. In Windows 10 enterprise that GP is missing. How can we disable the Windows store in Windows 10 Enterprise.

Windows 8.1 templates can NOT and I Repeat NOT be used in Windows 10 Enterprise July 2015 Build.Again, if anyone is having or facing this issue understand that the solution telling you to use Windows 8.1 templates is a useless and completely false statement.I have tested a solution and am able to disable the store by actually creating a registry key:Please Note Below that HKEYLOCALMACHINE will not have the dword RemoveWindowsStore.
You need to create it. I logged in as a standard user and the store was blocked.Navigate to the following registry key:HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsStore. Don, your solution does not work on Windows 10 Enterprise July 2015 build. I just installed the windows 8.1.msi file from your link and nothing shows up in GPEDIT.MSC on the local computer. We don't use active directory at all and this MSI youprovided the link to does absolutely nothing.It goes through the install, completes but there is absolutely nothing as shown in your screen shot about store.The red dots in my screenshot illustrate the setting for Store.Whether you use AD or not, Group Policy Admin Templates, is exactly the same.When you download the templates MSI, the templates will be extracted to a folder (the folder is a prompt during the installer process). After extraction, you must copy the ADXM/ADML files to the PolicyDefinitions folder on the target machines, or, to yourDomain Controllers, or, to your Central Store.
You can then use GPEDIT or GPMC or AGPM or whatever Group Policy implementation method you wish. These steps are not explained in the MSFT Download centre information. It is assumed that you know what to do withthe files. It is also assumed that you have a good understanding of how Admin Templates actually function, and, that you have a good understanding of how Windows Group Policy (as distinct from Office Group Policy), is largely version-agnostic.When you replace an existing ADMX/ADML fileset, the Windows team essentially accumulate settings, in a rollup fashion, incorporating newer settings into the updated files, without losing any older settings. (. Will minecraft realms ever support mods. as a general rule).This means that the version of Windows I am using is completely irrelevant, and, the version of Windows I may use in the future or at various times, is also completely irrelevant.As I suggested earlier, Group Policy questions are more suited to the dedicated GP forum.Sorry for assuming a little too much about your GP competence, and I get your frustration. I still get frustrated at the easily-fixed dumbness of much of this stuff, and I've only been working with it for 20 years or so.
I've gotten a bit numb to all, Iguess.Don(Please take a moment to 'Vote as Helpful' and/or 'Mark as Answer', where applicable.This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. You are correct. The ADML and ADMX files I copied over from Windows 8.1 machine and placed in same locations.
It IS working. However, the first time I did it the machine locked up so I said they didn't.Both the registry key and those GP templates do work.Thanks for coming back and verifying your results, this helps me to know that the advice I gave was useful (even if obtuse), and others searching in future can find it (somewhat) useful.Don(Please take a moment to 'Vote as Helpful' and/or 'Mark as Answer', where applicable.This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions.
In all fairness to Microsoft, this type of behavior has become commonplace amongst tech companies across the world—but that doesn't mean we should sit idly. Additionally, some of these features can cost you battery life and performance, so I'll show you how to disable them all below. Disable Wi-Fi SenseThe first questionable Windows 10 feature I'd like to talk about is called 'Wi-Fi Sense.' Microsoft enabled this feature by default, and to summarize, your network passwords can now be shared with your social media friends automatically. It's a 2-way street, so the convenience factor is definitely appealing—no more asking for your friend's Wi-Fi password, and no more issues conveying your own complicated password to your friends.The description sounds scary, but Wi-Fi Sense does not share passwords automatically—while it's enabled by default (so you can access shared passwords), you have to explicitly choose what passwords to share. None are shared without you explicitly choosing to share them.
When shared, the passwords are securely stored on Microsoft's servers and never revealed to others, even when shared, but that's just it—it's my password, and I never wanted Microsoft to have it in the first place. Encrypted or not.So if you'd like to disable Wi-Fi Sense, open your Start menu and launch the Settings app. From here, choose the 'Network & Internet' option to begin.
At this point, you'll no longer be participating in Microsoft's Wi-Fi sharing program, but your passwords may still be stored remotely. To disable Wi-Fi Sense altogether, you'll have to add a suffix of 'optout' to the end of your Wi-Fi network's name (SSID) through your router's settings menu. Disable Bandwidth Sharing for UpdatesIn another strange act of opt-out data sharing between users, Windows now uses a sort-of peer-to-peer network for downloading updates. Similar to a torrent program, this means that when you download a Windows update file, you're also uploading parts of it to other users.Since unnecessary bandwidth usage can be costly, you'll probably want to disable this one.
Again, start by heading to the Settings menu, but this time open the 'Update & Security' section. Disable Automatically-Applied UpdatesOn the subject of updates, Windows 10 now automatically applies updates by default, which is a nice feature on the surface. The downside here, though, is that while they say it'll only restart your device while you're not using it, I can personally attest that this is not always true.So if you don't want to run the risk of losing unsaved data when Windows decides it needs to update itself, head to Settings, then Update & Security, and select the 'Advanced options' entry again. From here, click the drop-down menu directly beneath the 'Choose how updates are installed' header. If you experience any issues with Windows restarting multiple times in an attempt to apply the same broken update, be sure to check out our article on.
Disable 'Getting to Know You' FeaturesAnother disturbing feature that is meant to streamline your Windows 10 experience is called 'Getting to know you.' This one logs your typing history, saves recordings of your voice, collects information from your contacts, calendar, and even your handwriting—all in the name of giving you a more personalized experience with Cortana.In addition to options for the 'Getting to know you' feature, each of these last 4 sections will be dealing with options in Windows 10's Privacy menu—so open your Start menu and launch the Settings app, then select 'Privacy' to begin. Disabling this setting won't affect Windows apps like, so you may want to take this a step further.
To disable targeted ads in Edge, use the browser to navigate to, then turn any available options off. Prevent App-Access to Your Location, Microphone, & WebcamIn Windows 10, third-party apps can access your microphone, webcam, and location. While this makes sense for some apps—for instance, a video-chatting app needing access to your microphone and webcam—not all apps absolutely need these permissions. Additionally, apps accessing your location too frequently can lead to a reduction in performance and battery life, so you should at least familiarize yourself with these menus.First up, head to the 'Location' tab in the Privacy menu, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to review the apps that have permission to access your location. To block any of these apps from accessing your location, simply toggle the adjacent switch to 'Off.' Disable Unwanted Background AppsThis last option is a bit less privacy-oriented, but it can make a big impact in terms of battery life and performance. Many 'Universal' Windows apps are set to start up alongside your computer, and this is a drain on your computer's resources.From the Privacy menu again, scroll down to the bottom of the menu on the left side of the page, then select the 'Background apps' option.
From here, simply use the toggle switches to prevent these apps from running on startup and staying open in the background. LOL Although I agree with you about windows 10 and, except for this little things, like it very much and find it very easy to use, I am afraid that I am also a member of the grammar police, things like using 'then' when you are meant to use 'than', saying (or writing) 'would off' when the right expression is 'would've or would have', saying 'brung' instead of 'brought' and others like that 'upset' me. 'u' instead of 'you', '4 u' instead of 'for you' and other expressions like that not so much and I might even use them myself very sparingly on special occasions. What can I say. I have six kids. Had to adapt.Killing them was not an option:D Reply. You are more like a child on a ride along with the grammar police.
They gave you a fake badge and call you Sgt. Uteda and you think you are a real cop.
Your punctuation is on about the same level as an orangutan with a tablet. There are commas and periods missing. Each time you use an ellipsis it is with a different number of periods. Sometimes you use five, sometimes four, but never three. Your post is much more difficult to read than a post with a few spelling errors or slang.

I dont understand how you could write a post that looks the way yours does and claim to be a 'member of the grammar police.' It's a few (default enabled, for some reason) accessibility 'features' that have been in all Windows versions since at least XP. Maybe even earlier. I'm not too familiar with the obscure versions between 98 and XP.You have to disable sticky keys, toggle keys and filter keys.
While you're at it, you may as well also disable the annoying window snapping nonsense. It's all in the same place:Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsEase of Access CenterMake it easier to focus on tasksFor sticky keys and filter keys, you have to click the set up links to get to the part where you can disable them. Sorry for being like this (a jerk), but what you're not telling us is that you are just stupid! (or you don't know to read)Take a look at what Microsoft sais when you upgrade! They are saying that after one year, this offer will not be available anymore.1 Windows Offer DetailsYes, free! This upgrade offer is for a full version of Windows 10, not a trial.

Windows 10 is automatically updated. Additional requirements will apply over time for updates. See Windows 10 Upgrade page for details. From all that has been highlighted here I am glad that after I had to 'recover' Windows 8 from a disastrous 8.1 foray I think I'll stop with 8 as no mention of forcing me to upgrade has appeared after I got rid of the annoying KB upgrades that kept pushing the new win 10. At least on 8 I could disable them from installing. Now my wife's laptop came with 10 pre-installed and has now decided she cannot open Excel files after she bought and paid for the subscription to office 365. Twice the support techies have re-installed the program and assured me that it is 100% fixed only for it to go back to not working after re-booting the comp.
As for believing that Microsoft wouldn't share your data that it now surrepticiously collects you are either naive or stupid and I can't believe stupid so you must be the former. What do we all know about Microsoft? That as the biggest target is is the most hack attempted company on the planet so expect them to be forced to announce at some point that their safely stored private information on you has be hijacked. My response at that time will be 'Well I never!' Anyone with the ability to find a way of stopping MS from foisting this garbage on any more unfortunate people should be working flat out to promote what they are doing and forcing MS to change their stance Reply. I did not Windows 10 yet. The loader that is built in on the Lenovo computer stated the down load now I am stuck windows 10.
So far the experience is terrible! It lost all my charms for my social media, Cortana is a joke - it references Bing which I do not like using-Advice Do not buy a Lenovo computer it is very very intrusive, I had a tech ' disable' the auto going to fix things that is built in which is terrible too.
It opens and invades while I am working. T also as crapware built in that will send messages to the printer ( Brother) that will stop printing once it ids that you are not using the expensive ink. I found in researching the net that this being mined by the techies. This is worst than being in a communist country.Thank you for the article. I want the features that I was using back. 8.1 was fine. This makes too damned many decisions for m that I have to hunt to find the work arounds.
Is there a way in which you can disable the Windows Store in Windows 10 Home Edition?In registry editor I have gone to the following folder: HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsStoreAnd then created a new DWORD namedRemoveWindowsStore and set the Value to 1.After restarting it has removed the Store from the Taskbar & the start menu but when scrolling through the applications menu it still shows the store. When you click on the Store app from the menu it then proceeds to taking you to the store and lets you download apps etc even though no Microsoft account is attached to the device.Is there anyway that I can disable the Windows Store completely? It looks like as long as you don't sign into a MS account, you are able to browse and download apps from the normal store.
Something MS seem to have allowed with newer updates to the app store.If you were to sign in with a work/school account, that's when it will only display the private store, which isn't any use at all.The only thing I could find was to create a whitelist of apps in AppLocker and push that out via GPO. Just be careful to whitelist the built in Windows apps that you need as well.Hope it is helpful for others! Christianstokes wrote:I have done this and managed to remove it from one account which is an Administrator account.However when I log in as a Standard User account the Windows Store is still there. I have tried the Powershell bit again but it comes up with an error advising the package was not found.
I guess this is because I've already removed it on the administrator account?Any ideas as to how I remove the windows store from the Standard User account?When you open powershell on the user account, right click the powershell shortcut and go to 'Run as Admin' option. I have done that already, I get the below message when I try it:PS C:WINDOWSsystem32 Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore.23.0x868wekyb3d8bbweRemove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF1, Package was not found.Windows cannot remove Microsoft.WindowsStore.23.0x868wekyb3d8bbwe because the current user does not havethat package installed.
May 20th 2016 UPDATE: We have a solution toJANUARY 28 2016 UPDATE: I have found this GPO to cause the STORE to fail to download apps but it does not block the store outright like it did in Windows 8. “Roy” in Microsoft Partner Support, worked with the Windows Dev Team to find out that this policy only works on Windows 10 ENTERPRISE and intentionally does not work on Windows 10 Pro.We are working on finding a solution that does not involve deleting (or renaming) the Store app in every profile. FYI – Microsoft have stated all in-box apps will be able to be fully removed in Win10 19H1.Also, you can disable the Windows Store app from doing anything – it will run and show you a message to say access to the store is disabled.By using gpedit.msc, under Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Store there is an entry called “Turn off the Store application”Yes Home does not come with gpedit but there are ten trillion copies of it on the internet, just make sure you source it from a trustworthy source. Download and then read below.I just checked my personal build of Win10 (Fast Ring) and see that the key does not exist either, so I added the key and then the entry (SEE THE DOWNLOAD ABOVE), rebooted but found the store still opens. However, the test machine I used (my personal) was not on a domain and I was logging in as an Admin (which I think ignores that reg entry).
If you can try this on your corporate machines and report back how it went for you. I WILL work on it, if you are still seeing problems.Also, I found an article that stated the same entry could be made under HKCURRENTUSERSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsStoreRemoveWindowsStore REGDWORD = 1 but you would need to load the users HKCU hive then edit it and that is a pain.
