nice, cant wait to get home and install win10

CocheseUGA

Tricked it into downloading now. Hope Edge doesn't break my RDP, since it supposedly took out ActiveX controls.

Whiskers

I had RTM on all my PC's for the most part, but put them back to 8.1 to get the "official" version. My wife's download isnt showing yet, all others are.

I havent found a way to find my Windows 10 key before 10 is installed.

CocheseUGA

Windows 10 install has failed.

I should've gone to bed early. I went to the wrong client because I misread my boss early morning text

Upgrade went smooth. yeah I decided to upgrade since it said it was going to ask for a product key for a clean install.

I didn't play with it hardly at all during the beta so this is my first time using it. Trying out edge...

#1 STUNNA

So far so good...

I'd upgrade my win7 machine but I don't even use it anymore except for file storage for my Mac mini to connect to

Fixed the issue by doing a clean boot. Upgrading on my main now. Hopefully the reported second screen issue isn't there.

Laptop, I'm a bit more iffy on. HP ProtectTools isn't compatible, and that controls all the security like the FP scanner. That's the only way I logon to the computer, so uninstalling it makes me hesitate. Perhaps I'll get brave shortly, I'll see how the desktop upgrade goes.

#1 STUNNA

You actually use HP Protect Tools?

I'm most fascinated about how they handle hi-res retina screens now. It doesn't seem as good as OS X but seems much better. More testing required though

Right-click taskbar -> search -> hidden

After that hit start and just start typing, it'll create a search bar in the start menu

Installed, no issues on Dell Venue 11Pro i5

Whiskers, is Apple Boot Camp Manager working for you? Keyboard shortcuts like Fn+Del, Fn+Ctrl+Left Arrow (Home), Volume, Brightness aren't working for me.

I need to go and install it.

Been reading up on Edge today.

-Extensions coming this year
-Extensions can be ported with a few minor tweaks from Chrome and FF
-No ActiveX, BHO, toolbars
-Includes Flash support (which I quickly turned off)
-Doesn't currently support Java

Here's an article on how Edge is more secure than IE 11 and in their opinion as secure as Chrome (both of which are way more secure than FF )

And an article on potential new risks in Edge

send it to me, i'll upgrade it.

nfnsquared

What are you basing that statement on?

#1 STUNNA

From reading the links I posted...?

And from the fact that Firefox still doesn't operate in a sandbox/protected mode, which Chrome has had since launch and IE has had since 2006 with IE7.

And for further reading from 5 years ago there's this

https://acurazine.com/forums/technol.../#post12309084

So here we are 5 years later and it STILL doesn't run in a sandbox

What. The. Fuck.

and @ 2010 Stogie saying he wants his browser to run untrusted content with admin rights

Hmmm. Edge won't load any websites. Seems to be a DNS resolution problem, but I don't see how. I can type in an IP address and get a page, but no hostnames. I disabled my MVPHOSTS file, rebooted, and tried toggling the Smartscreen stuff on and off.

Firefox works just fine. What's silly is I can't "Open in Internet Explorer" unless I have a page loaded, which it won't load any pages. So I navigate to the IP address to enable the "Open in Internet Explorer" option, and then everything works in IE11, too.

This is an upgrade install over 8.1. I'd like to figure out what causes this problem before I wipe this laptop out and try a fresh install.

Ideas?

run Malwarebytes

So I got a Windows 8.1 virtual machine running and did the Windows 10 reservation thing. Now I may have to wait weeks for M$ to push it to my VM? FML.

Whiskers

use the ISO if you want it faster

Anachostic

I humored you. It didn't find anything. However, I did figure it out.

I'm not sure when I made this change or why I did it, but I had shut off and disabled the DNS Client service. I think it was either some performance tweak or some effort to run the bare minimum of services, or troubleshooting a glitch somewhere. The purpose of this service is to cache DNS entries. It's never been required before; disabling it just forces every application to make a fresh DNS call to a remote server.

So, new OS, new rules. Make sure the DNS Client service is running. Edge requires it and I'll be willing to bet other bits will, too.

doopstr

You are Superman!

Whiskers

There is a command to run if it doesnt activate.

doopstr

Activated after several tries. I guess they are backed up.

Updated and now my audio doesntnwork through the motherboard. Only comes out of the hdmi cable on my video card. How am I suppose to use my 5.1 speakers? Also tired to set the speakers to default and get an error. ITunes also won't run correctly.

#1 STUNNA

Oh and as predicted so far I know of 2 clients that upgraded to W10 already without consulting us and one already called in afterwards having problems.

nfnsquared

1 whole client? Wow, you're going to be rich

stogie1020

So, Daniel, I assume you are seeing a much higher rate of infections amongst user who use FF as their browsers, right? Like, substantially higher, must be a double digit increase... Hell, I bet every FF user is completely infected right now.

#1 STUNNA

I don't associate with people who use firefox...

#1 STUNNA

So definitely feels like MS released this now so they could get it out in time for back to school or Christmas season. This thing is buggy, all sorts of visual glitches, and some freezing in Edge. Looks like it'll be pretty good once they get the bugs fixed.

But I'll probably be telling people to hold off for now...

Microsoft is already ready for a service pack for Windows 10 within a few weeks.
