Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Hi Wynona!
I sincerely agree with you... the tuts and the wisdom in these forums are fabulous and have helped me frequently! In this case, I note that Brink's Option 3 re drivers, and the previous advice you referred to, both lead to the same settings. I am ALMOST positive that is the same setting I made, but which the new build seems to have returned to the defaults. In any case, thanks again, and I have returned my driver update setting to "NO!!!", and I'll just wait to see what happens when the next build comes down. I still can't help wondering how many Moms and Pops are out there who don't know about our magic. I imagine lots of wailing and trips to the computer store. I hope some of these problems are among those that require "weeks or months" before the word arrives that their freeby has downloaded and awaits their button push.
Maybe they should just fix bugs instead of putting new "features" into it!? Windows 10 is unusable on (Atom) tablets right now (from the beginning of the insider program) because of the throttling bug.
You know that this is so damn ironic, right? A new build for one toggle option for coloring the start menu which takes like 5 minutes to program? yes I know about the ram compression bla blub, which isnt something insideres are testing (can test) anyway. This goes on and on on the insider program always with those nonsense posts like "big news everyone! we got tons of feedback and are so happy to bring this new feature to you, because we got millions of requests for this incredible feature which took us months to implement. now you can change the desktop background by right clicking on the desktop in two clicks! enjoy! g" updated color options!!! more hats!! It was like this over the past year... if you look into the feedback app there are tons of incredible good ideas, take a bet, will they get implemented? no. take just a damn simple request like giving tablet users swipe keyboard like windows phone has... I guess it is even implemented already but just deactivated for pc/tablet users, because it is the same keyboard app on windows 10 phone.
Actually, I think that's what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10 RTM. They're fixing bugs, but not adding new features.
On the other paw, new features are released to those of us who are on the Windows Insider Program. Once we've tested, filed bugs, squashed bugs, Microsoft has fixed bugs and everything is to their satisfaction, then and only then will the results be released to the RTM Windows.
So, bug fixes come from Microsoft (sometimes to RTM and sometimes to Windows Insiders). New features come (most probably) to Windows Insiders first and when Microsoft and the Insiders pronounce them good, those on the July 29 released version get updates.
A much easier solution to solve everyone's problems is quite simple actually. But no one ever thinks of it. Before doing any type of upgrade install first learn... How to Create a System Image in Windows 10 which just happens to be an option in Windows since the Vista Ultimate days!
If something gets pooched you simply restore the full system image backup you make ahead of time. Even with the newer test build you can restore the present 10 upgrade if not already having tended to a clean install like the one going on now to replace 7 Home Premium x86 on a laptop with 3gb for the 64bit flavor of 10 Home there. Plus a friend inquired about going from the 32bit 9 Home to the 64bit 10 Home.
I am looking to get out of insider program. I already have 10525 build on my PC. I tried to load windows 10 RTM but give me error about unsupported directory. How do I get back to RTM (build 10240)? I tried to uninstall build 10525 to 10240 thru setting option but windows tell me the files needed are not there. Or can I just leave the insider program and wait for the RTM (build10240) to catch up with build 10525?
