It won't work for software that was copied from another OS installation or used in "portable" mode (unless you specifically the index app folders), rather than clean-installed to the current OS. If...

It's as clumsy as the current state of W10. Microsoft have forced us to do this, by locking down the filesystem to unreasonable levels, so desperate times call for desperate measures.

However, if...

I've noticed this as well. Not only some Windows are not being brought to the foreground as they should, but you occasionally hear Windows sounds without having any indication of what triggered them....

Lowering the slider doesn't fully disable UAC. You have to change a registry value (WARNING: breaks store apps).

To do so, run this in CMD:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k...

Sorry to say, but you don't know much then. We've been able to completely customize what the taskbar looks like in all Windows versions since XP, so removing some underlines is nothing, and we're...

The amount of ignorance is off the charts here. You're saying we need to wait 2 or 3 years before our impressions about a new OS become valid? I only needed a few hours to notice is has a...

If you're running a UEFI setup, BIOS settings can be modified at the OS level, so W10 could still be to blame.

You're actually being kind. As an I.T. professional who's been testing it for the past week, I'd say W10 is a disaster in its current state.

I've never had to run so many post-install fixes and...

I also have 16 GB and they're fully usable on my system, so I'd say it's not normal.

Only if you have stuff pinned to the taskbar. Otherwise, you already know what's running by virtue of it simply being there.

Also, people who want to "discuss" the fact that they like the...

Do you know if this will work with the upcoming SR1 update, or are we gonna have to undo the changes first?

Only way to know is to try. I won't be surprised if the W10 setup is installing some incompatible legacy driver for your Intel onboard GPU, as people have been reporting faulty drivers being...

"igdkmd64.sys" is the Intel graphics driver, so it could be some kind of a GPU conflict. It sounds like you only updated the NVIDIA driver, so make sure the Intel driver is also updated and try...

I'm confused right now. If you don't have a login issue, that means your login is regular. An "issue" is a problem. I think your wording could use some work, because that's what led me to believe you...

Darn, I didn't realize it was the same key for everyone. However, that PC didn't have W10 installed before, so the point still stands: he can use that key to install W10 on a different mobo.

Also,...

First off, we can't be expected to know what you've already tried if you don't state it first.

Second, your comment proves you didn't read all the posts, because some (notably, my own post there)...

The upgrade converts your OEM license to a retail key, which is not tied to your hardware. I know this because I did the upgrade on my laptop, retrieved the key and used it to perform a clean install...

Don't just read the OP. Some posts have other solutions.

The UAC slider is not enough. You need a registry edit to disable it completely, which has the side-effect of breaking the store apps.

If you do want to do this, run the following from CMD: ...

That's slightly pedantic. I was obviously not accounting for AV software that's so poorly designed it interferes with a service that's been included with the OS for 4 generations now. I'm referring...

1. Using a comma before "but" in the message you quoted is not only correct, it's grammatically mandatory. Given that your post is teeming with grammar and spelling errors, you shouldn't be trying to...

I had this problem as well: boot into a black screen with the cursor appearing if I move the mouse, and 20s later regular login.

Turns out Windows Update auto-installed a faulty "AMDA00 Interface"...

Yes, and the instructions are the same.

All right, thanks for looking into it anyway, and thanks for the welcoming. :D

BTW, this definitely seems to be the proper way to relocate folders. I used to use junctions and while that worked on...

There you go: 29124

I should point out that I had the network disconnected during the whole setup process (to make sure W10 doesn't pull its stupid auto-updating at any point before I have a...
