Norton 360 and windows 10 really don't get on together, endless error messages from Norton and had uninstall and re-install a few times too.
Windows 10 has also stopped recognising two of my sign-in accounts, and I am now on my my third user account. Oh and two complete crashes and OS re-installs since July as well. Wonderful isn't it ? |

It appears a few things have issues with W10 including Adblock Plus which has still not been rectified and no longer works correctly with W10
Adblock Plus is installed on my laptop with W10 with no issues...

Adblock Plus works perfectly without issues on W10 for many different browsers. Many that I use daily.
The beta programme for the extensions for W10 is not reporting any problems either. |

I changed from Adblock Plus to Ublock Origin for some reason which I have forgotten (probably something I read here). That works just fine for me.

Well did all my backups, created the recovery disk and decided to do a full re-format. The recovery disk did absolutely bugger all so I had to go back via Windows 7 and I just re-upgraded to W10 via the assisted technology route. I'm liking the SSD alongside the new PSU. If I'm doing "normal" web browsing and usage, my desktop runs virtually silent .Actually, sitting here listening to it now, i'd say it's not "virtually" - it is silent ! Quote:

For future reference, the Media Creation Tool is the correct download to make a W10 Installation DVD (via ISO download) or to make a W10 Installation USB Flash Drive
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_10.html (see screenshots) or https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/soft...load/windows10 The DVD or USB Flash will clean install W10 when booted, or give access to Repair options. Or if setup.exe is run from within Windows, a Repair Install is performed. =-=-=-= Recovery Disk isn't really a thing with W10 Recovery Drive is a feature, but it has some disadvantages and my preference is always to use the Media Creation Tool method. |

I did use the media creation deeley. Just force of habit to refer to it as a 'recovery disk' I suppose.

And you can always restore your USB Flash backup, can't you?

This came as a bit of a surprise:
Specifically, he said Redmond cut the amount of time given for compatibility testing with the new OS from two months to six days. As a result Windows 10 users are being warned by the operating system to just use Microsoft apps, or applications from Redmond's store – where the software giant can take a cut of any sales. ^ That might explain why some people find some third party apps to be on the buggy side but it doesn't appear to be the developer's fault. |

Haven't used ABP in years since I discovered uBlock. ABP is just the default option for many people who assume it's the only option.
Ghostery blocks things like videos and user comments on many sites, but you can click on the icon and choose which things to allow for that site and it remembers it. |

How long is the anniversary update supposed to take to install?
I have a laptop, literally 3 days old, it has been stuck on 8% for the past 4 hours... I love it how some of you have 'never had an issue with Windows 10 ever' There is literally NOTHING installed on this brand new laptop of mine, so why is it borked? |

Windows 10 updates take a lifetime, or the lifetime of the hardware. Whichever is the later.
