Oilman, don't you realise that MS and Google are SPYING ON YOU, reading your every email, bombarding you with adverts containing subliminal messages and are responsible for the black helicopters that follow your every move????
Wake up and smell the coffee....they are after YOU |

I am pleased ( well you know what I mean) I am not the only one with the IE 11 issue since updates, I did have to laugh though as IE froze again whilst accessing the pages to read it
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...039a458?page=1 https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewto...p?f=16&t=48041 I have having seen that just removed adblock and will see if that helps |

Windows 8.1 was always assuming I had two HP printers when I only had the one. When I changed to a Samsung Laser I had no further issues so this was obviously related to HP. I have had no issues with the Samsung using W10 either.
I think you need to have an open mind rather than looking for/expecting problems. Windows 10 on the other hand, seems to pester me for things I do not want it to pester me for, came up with a message this morning about security and that defender was turned off, yes I know it is, I turned it off and put my own security suit on. I think I have got rid of the notices now. It is niggly things like that, I had gone through all the settings as far as I can see to switch off the these notices. When I change my default software and I get a please do not use something else, try this software we stuck onto your computer type message. Not even photo viewer is in windows 10 as standard, have to change the registry top get it back. Apart from that it have behaved yesterday, more or less like using my windows 8.1, apart from the start menu, not fond of the windows 10 start menu and it may be changed, but I will stick with it for a few more days. The thing is, windows 10 still seems unfinished, even after all this time and my main gripe is still there, the telemetry and still only three levels of control with it and the forced updates. The software I am running is running fine, but I do think cinema 4D sometimes seems to think longer about what it is going to do. Just an add on, so far I have not been nagged for a MS account, something which I thought I would be. |

Was offered KB2976978 again this week (the "compatibility update") which I have hidden yet again.
Just reading a report that this KB may be included in next months cumulative rollup which means there may be no way out of it. |

I presume to make you upgrade to Windows 10, and to pay for the honour.

Why on earth is that Win 8/8.1 compatibility update being supplied again when the free Win 10 update offer has expired? I don't see the point.
There is something here on Betanews about the nagware again as they call it. the KB number is different to yours. |

So, after all the plaudits thrown MS way on the first AU build, something is clearly wrong.
August and September both have had two cumulative updates, the last one in September 750MB - WTF?!? I don't really notice these as I have Superfast BB and a fairly quick machine. Others don't and I hear tales of woe about the time taken. Loads of issues with drivers, people still only just receiving the AU update - I agree that there are too many adverts in W10. It is leading to people failing to distinguish between important messages in the Action Centre and feature / paid product / plain nuisance advertising. It is sometimes a battle as others have stated that MS wants to keep resetting options with search and default apps which is becoming tiresome. However, it is plain that the majority are ceding to the defaults and in the process becoming totally turned off by the changes. I'm struggling to see the evolution, just change for changes sake and ever reducing options. Apps become dumber and dumber and more plentiful. I am seeing this in the other ecosystems. Apple is just as bad, plenty of updates, perpetual change and no real developments. |

As said again and again, am I missing something here as I never get ads and never have had ads from first installation a year ago. I do however, have the common sense to have all theses intrusive settings set to OFF which in my case have remained OFF.
![]() Are these people talking about the app recommendations? They appear at the top of the start menu now and again and for one right click when you get them deters it or can turn them off completely. |

The sad thing is that Windows 10 could be an ok OS, but with Ms mucking around with it all they time they are causing more problems and also taking more control away from the user. People say that Windows 8.1 is bad, but get a decent start menu on it and it works fine, even better now that MS is slowing down updates, not that I have accepted updates on mine for over a month and when I get it reinstalled I will keep it that way. A few more days and I can go back to Windows 8.1 |

Windows 10 is still in beta., people will disagree, but that is the only way you can put it. It was launched before it was ready and now it keeps having updates, not just security updates, but to put features in that they did not put in at launch.

Windows 7 was perfect. Why they tried to change it rather than improve it by making it leaner and meaner, I'll never know.

To be honest that could describe nearly every version of Windows they have ever released , these latest updates have caused many issues though, odd they do not see that before releasing them. And I wish they would put the easy transfer back on Windows , I am going to start looking at changing one of our PC's soon and it made life so much easier.
Still have problems with 10 crashing now and again while rendering in cinema 4D and I have no idea why. Getting annoying now |

One of my team uses this and works closely with Maxon and knows of no reports of windows 10 crashing using it. |

Latest Insider version 14942 allows all apps list to be toggled off or on. This proves MS do listen to feedback!

What exact problems are you having with Cinema 4D and which version are you running?

I've got 6 Win10 boxes that render C4D R17 more or less 24/7 (Team Render and single pc 'in-app' cpu rendering) and have no crashes. Are you using some 3rd party gfx card render engine ? Win10 crashes are sometimes down to card driver issues.
Not really important anyway, I am going back to Windows 8.1 after the weekend. |

PS, did you know that Bill Gates is a lizzard? David Ecke said so, it must be true. |

Maybe, but I'll bet there is still a hidden 'spying app/programme' there because MS are not just happy selling software, they need to persecute/hound/harass/infringe on the life of the users as well...your not keeping up to date with the hidden motivation behind any MS launch Oilman...I'm staggered.

If MS keeps tasks running in the background for no reason at all, is it any wonder that people are a bit suspicious? |

I've just spent a couple of minutes childishly amusing myself by using End Task in Task Manager to make Cortana disappear
After killing it several times, it seemed to be taking ever longer to reappear until eventually it stopped altogether. I bet if I go back into Task Manager it's sprung up again, but it gave me a tiny bit of satisfaction for a while.
