So, what, we get our ISO's from Download.com at CNet now?

Haha! Perhaps! You think?

I got this on Windows Update this past Thursday. Spartan (Edge) still does not work. It opens and then crashes.

Oh! I can't stop laughing!

So, I've got 10074 clean install working on this A215-S6804 Toshiba laptop okay. Problem is, every time I try to install a networked (TCP/IP) printer, it BSODs with system-thread-exception-not-handled referring to the qualcomm atheros athwb.sys driver, and it's not recoverable at all. The other problem I have is, if I touch the touchpad while a mouse is plugged in, I get a DPC watchdog violation; recover and disable the touchpad.

So far, other than that, it's working well and looking good.

Yes I god a BSOD as well, this build needs some work as we all know.

Simrick, try going into Device Manager and updating your network adapters and Bluetooth. Also, if you have an Ethernet Controller showing (Qualcomm Atheros xxxx), update that too.

Are these drivers from manufacturer and for the pc's model(try Win( version & if that don't work try Win7 if they exist)? Or Win10 default which, except for graphics, have worked well for me through the different built iterations.

These drivers installed with the clean install of 10074. I checked for updated drivers in device manager and it says nothing else is available - my drivers are current. I have had constant BSODs with this Atheros driver all through the different builds.

Thanks, but did nothing.Attachment 18222
As I said in previous post, have had this problem with this driver through all the builds I have tested. I hate Atheros. Their wrls card on another system of mine is supposed to be b/g/n but blue screens every time I have the N turned on, so I had to back down to G. And, of course, Qualcomm NEVER answer tech support questions....
