Death From Above Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Norton Antivirus: the world's most prolific virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Found out why Chrome was heating up my laptop: rogue extension. I had a Norton extension running and as soon as I disabled it, my computer's been running fine. As for the tiles, I could have sworn I read somewhere that you could get rid of them from the start menu. If that's the case, I may look into it. Yeah try loading Chrome with no extensions and then re-add them one by one to see if you have a rogue one taxing your system. Norton Antivirus: the world's most prolific virus. Norton 360 actually ran very well for me. It was just the one Chrome extension that sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I updated yesterday and so far had hardly any problems (choosing the option to not take over any data or programs might have helped). The only thing that did not work at first was sending mails via Outlook, which seems to be a common problem, but I quickly found a solution for that (solving the Outlook issue, not installing Thunderbird or something like that ). Browser wise so far I have sticked to Firefox, only played a minute or so with Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Classic shell has been released for windows 10. With that said, I still can't think of a legitimate reason to upgrade. None of the "improvements" or changes are things that I'm really interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I don't even think you need Classic Shell. Seems really counter productive, but then again, I really love 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Seems to be the only way to get rid of the tiling without individually removing all of them. Also, I just really love the Start Menu from Windows 7 and thought it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Upgraded and just working on getting accustomed to how much faster everything is now. Might need to slow down the double click speed in mouse settings. Nice to have good problems for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just really love the Start Menu from Windows 7 and thought it was perfect. I'm on my phone because I barely use my pc but can't you, like right click the start menu and have it show "All Programs" and voila, you have it?

NikoBaltimore Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I love how they're touting "Hey, we ditched that old IE and now have Edge! Look, you can draw on it!" Everybody takes one look at it, goes "That's nice" and goes right back to their browser of choice. Never change, Microsoft. So far after only one crash it's been working pretty nicely. Have no need for Microsoft's base programs so no worries about paying for shit I don't need ($15 for a bare bones Media Center? Really, guys?) Sure, they're trying to make money since the upgrade is free, but anybody with a brain can get around having to pay for their stuff in lieu of free and better products.

RandomAct Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Finally decided to do the upgrade. It's been 20 minutes and I'm already itching to install Classic Shell. I highkey hate that, even though I can remove the tiles, I can't make this menu look more traditional. It's kinda driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 So I've read absolutely nothing, anywhere that suggests Windows 10 is anything other than a neutron star made out of densely compressed turds that spy on your personal information, but this is the kicker that goes even over that: http://www.pcgamer.com/windows-10-is-sneaking-onto-new-windows-7-and-8-installs-without-permission/ So, yeah... some of us that don't live in a major city do not have unlimited bandwidth so I'd like to thank Microsoft for now forcing me to turn off automatic security updates on my Windows 7 laptop for the forseeable future to prevent a 6 GB malware install, and also thank them for confirming my next PC will be Linux.

Tabe Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Read through the comments on that article and you'll find a link that destroys the "Microsoft is spying on you" storyline. The download of such a huge amount of data with express permission is garbage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
