    Adobe Flash Direct Download Links Page To Be Decommissioned on 1-22-16

    I am confused! Windows Update includes all the Flash updates for Win 8 & 10. Unless one is using Win 7, or older, why would anyone want to download from Adobe?

    Win 10 1511 Upgrade Will Change Some of Your Settings Back to Defualt

    This "Upgrade" appears to be a replacement of the old build with a new one, Windows Update did not modify the old version of Windows like Service Packs use to. For all practical purposes, it is like a fresh install, except it captures most of the Windows setting and all the software that was...

    Win 10 1511 Upgrade Will Change Some of Your Settings Back to Defualt

    I upgraded earlier today and discovered the new upgrade changed some of my settings back to default but left others alone. For example: - It enabled some scheduled tasks that I disabled, - It enabled hardware drivers for Windows Update, - It restored Edge as the default browser, - It set...

    Safetest way to upgrade MB for windows 7 without reinstall

    Several years ago, I replaced an i7 860/P55 with an i7 4770k/Z87. I turned on the system just to see what would happen and was surprised to see that Windows handled everything. The system worked as if I had never touched it. I was planning to do a clean install, so I did nothing in...

    Turn Off Windows Update In Windows 10?

    If you have the Pro version, you can turn-off Auto Updates with Group Policy. To do so, run gpedit.msc then go to Computer Config, Admin Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update. On the right side, select "Configure Auto Update" and set to disabled. I disabled mine a couple of months...

    Win7 "Checking for updates" for 1.5hrs and counting?

    It does reset Win Update -- I do not know the which specific part of Update but it did fix my install when it kept searching & searching & searching. As I mentioned, MSFT provided it. You have a lot more patience than I have. I contacted MSFT after it had churned for about a half hour.

    Win7 "Checking for updates" for 1.5hrs and counting?

    Sometimes, Win Update just gets constipated. I had the problem several years ago and posted with MSFT. A MSFT Tech posted the following and it fixed my problem: 1) On the open Command Prompt window copy and paste the commands (all at once) – net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc...

    Who's using Edge as their primary browser?

    I used it for a while. It is fast and supposedly includes the latest, greatest in browser design but it is lacking basic features. For example, all downloads have to go to a single folder destination. Flash can be controlled for all sights but not for individual sites. There are no choices...

    Win 10 Users - Did Win Update Install New Drivers Today?

    NVidia released new drivers today -- 355.82. I thought they may be enough different that Win Update will install them. I did not want that, so I disabled the Win Update Service and installed the drivers myself. This way, I avoided having Win Update install the two 3D Vision drivers for the...

    Windows 10 Insider Preview no longer receiving Preview Builds

    I am running an activated Win 10 on my daily hardware. I originally updated this install from 8.1 and then did a clean install. I also have a Win 10 10532 Insider build on another disk in the same system that is also activated. I started the Insider program with a clean install when the first...

    Here is how to disable Telemetry and Data Logging in Windows 10

    I suspect you are right, but I did shut-down at least some of it. I disable to cut down on the useless background programs running as much as information flow. I had several setting changes that "just changed" not necessarily to default but to settings I had previously used. The strangest...

    Here is how to disable Telemetry and Data Logging in Windows 10

    It has impact because the programs do not run after I disable them. If you look at the tasks, it will show the last run date and the next run date. It is not much work, just a right click and a click on the "disable" button. I am not trying to block everything -- only the things that...

    Here is how to disable Telemetry and Data Logging in Windows 10

    "Scheduled Tasks" has a lot more tasks that send stuff to MSFT than previous versions of Windows. The Customer Experience ones are supposed to be opt-in but mine always are enabled even though I do not ever see any opt-in choices. Anyway, I have been disabling them for many years. With Win 10...

    Windows 10 Activation Time Limit

    Prior versions of Win allowed 30 days, and then, "lights out". When you are ready to upgrade, go to this site instead of the reservation route: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Then you will not have to wait. After you click on the 32 or 64 bit, the next screen...

    Windows 10 Activation Time Limit

    I installed the same way, added a couple of drivers and then connected to the internet. I checked under "Settings", "Activation" and it was already activated. I did not have to do anything nor did it ask for anything. I did, however, upgrade from 8.1 to 10 first. I wiped the drive and then...

    Can Anyone Explain Why Win 10 Changed My Settings?

    Another day, another change. Now, IE11 has a blank home page -- the same as I had in Win 8.1 when I upgraded (but subsequently wiped along with everything on the disk). Before this change, IE11 had the MSFT default. Typing "about: none" and a couple of clicks are required to make the home...

    Can Anyone Explain Why Win 10 Changed My Settings?

    After I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 8.1, I wiped my program drive using diskpart's "clean" command and set the drive to GPT. I then did I clean install using a disk made from the MSFT ISO. I used a local account and disconnected the internet while I installed. I have used the system for about...

    Windows 10: Crashed applications - Cannot CTRL + ALT + DELETE to close programs.

    Add Win 8.1 to the list. It does the same thing. I found that CTRL+ALT+DELETE, then select "sign out" will take control and shut down the game. You have to sign in again but that is faster than a reboot. It works with Fallout 3. I have not tried with any other games.

    Disable Win 10 updates?

    You really do not accomplish much doing this. You would stop all updates, including the ones you need and those you want. These "solutions" are an "all or none". When you eventually turn on again, you will receive all the updates whether you want them or not. What is missing is the ability...

    Windows 10 Key Code Location

    It appears Microsoft is adding to the control of its OS's. I looked at the settings in my Microsoft account and it now contains a section for "Registered Devices". I have a custom system so it lists: Gigabyte (my MB), Win 10 Pro and some code number that does not resemble a key. It has a...

    Windows 10 Key Code Location

    Anteaus, The key I have matches what you listed, so it must be generic. I used it when I installed and assumed it led to the activation. My install process asked for it just like prior versions of Windows. Is it possible to find the key in the BIOS?

    How to choose where to download stuff in Edge

    You probably are right. I did not think about it being a Metro app. That would explain a lot about its shortcomings. If you are willing to use the folder name "Downloads", you can change the location by just moving it in the properties of the User\Downloads folder. If you want to use a...

    How to choose where to download stuff in Edge

    Cannot active Win10 Pro from Fresh ISO

    Cannot active Win10 Pro from Fresh ISO

    Any Negatives If Using Outlook.com Mailbox?
