So fucking tired of Windows 10
    #22077549 - 08/11/15 05:47 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

PSA: Do not get Windows 10



I won't even begin to list all the problems, but no more than 5 minutes ago my entire os froze and crashed ALL my work BECAUSE I RENAMED A FUCKING TEXT FILE??? WHAT? Is a 4.8ghz core i7, 16gb ram, and a gtx 770 not enough to rename a fucking text file?


Worst OS ever. Never seen one with so many problems off the bat, can I go fucking back to Windows 7 or is that not allowed?

Precisely why I never upgrade Windows. It ends in disappointment and frustration far more often than appreciation.

The biggest issue is nothing works.... not even plug and play things. I had to find drivers on some shady website for my speakers that are plugged in a 3.5mm audio jack. What?


I have had to reinstall everything. No, not for their window's 10 updates, it's just what Windows 10 is forcing me to do. If I try to open a file, any file, it will say " x file has stopped working" and then it deletes it. I have lost some sensitive info because windows is all fucked up. I tried restoring but it just happened again.


Seriously though, do they at least let you go back to your previous version if you got the free upgrade? This is bullshit

I haven't used windows in 5 years so I can't really give you any advice :shrug:

I always think about switching back from Mac but I really don't see any reason to. Especially when I see people bitching all the time about how shitty it is.

Don't think so. And someone even mentioned after trying to go back, certain things were fucked up on the older version of windows. Not sure how that's possible if you reformat and do a clean install but :shrug:

It also took a week before my bottom task bar unfroze. Even after several restarts it was just totally frozen. If I pressed the windows key on my keyboard it would open the start menu but you couldn't click it to open.

I put windows 7 disk from my laptop on to my old dell from 2007 or so and it installed worked then claimed it might be pirated so I just can't have a background screen saver but everything else works fine. I've had this computer for EVER!! I made sure to place so many extra hard drives in it that I will never jam up the thing. Only noticeable glitch has been flash player crashing which probably has nothing to do with my physical computer.

Yeah I got windows 7 when it came out in 2009 from nearly day 1 and it was ALWAYS stable and it was the best OS I have tried. So easy to use, so clean, and so RELIABLE!


They did everything right in windows 7 in my opinion.

10 is not free.

Well, IT is, but you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want Solitaire, media player, or drivers for a DVD.

I didn't read the entire thread but no matter what, this sums it all up.

_______________________________________________________________________________

I gave it quite a bit of consideration myself late last week and decided against it. We've all heard the saying "nothing in life is free". Well nothing changed here. With the rise of Big Data all the major corporations, as well as some of the small ones, are finding creative ways to spy on our habits. Microsoft is dropping a free OS in order to gain more of a market share while secretly profiting off your data.

Fuck. That. Shit.

I decided to do a fresh pave of Windows 7 with dual-boot Kali Linux V2 (which was just released today :cool:)

It's not free if your copy of Windows was pirated to begin with though.

I had to. I had pirated windows 7, therefore my windows 10 was not activated. I've never paid for windows and I build my own computers so reducing the cost is crucial and as simple as a few clicks to save 150 bucks on an OS

my buddy said his pirated windows 7 got the 10 update, you can authenticate windows 7 really easy.

but i did not know it wasn't free but comes in-complete if you don't pay monthly that sounds like shit.

I have used the same windows 7 disk to install win 7 on like 20 computers. Sadly it is all scratched to shit now and I can't use it anymore, but I could always download it. There are many very easy ways to activate windows, even giving it a real (to the os, actually fake tho) product key. I have even had windows 7 accidentally activate itself with a code I didn't input on a clean install, was very weird.

My own mistake? How is it my fault that whenever I click on anything it either freezes or deletes it? I just had google chrome crash for no fucking reason and I had to reboot to open it back up. It shows it the first time I try to open it in task manager but it never actually opens/uses any resources


It is a total piece of shit, probably gonna go mac or linux soon.

Another reason not to trust windows 10.

From the privacy policy...

Why anyone would defend this shit show of an OS is beyond me. At least here. I didn't think anyone that would be a member of this place would be the type to vote for Governments violating your privacy whenever and however they see fit. I don't know if 10 really is just a "hidden" backdoor for the Government to invade your computer or not, but what they're doing is the same thing regardless.

I almost want to just sell my computer and get a macbook. I don't game on it much anymore, don't even know why I bother upgrading it. All I need is a laptop.

All that privacy shit is freaking me out now. I thought it was just them checking what sites you buy every day items from and shit like that, not "We will access all your data and use it + sell it"

I'm just gonna keep Windows 7 until it's so outdated that it won't really run anything anymore. Then I'm getting away from Windows (though I'm definitely not going to overpay Apple for a computer I can build myself).

I'm going to be royally pissed if M$ goes and adds in this same invasion of privacy bullshit to Windows 7 and makes it a mandatory update.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to upgrade from 7 or not but I installed Ubuntu about a week ago and I've been liking that so far.

I am wondering, why would a Linux operating system not be ideal for gaming?

ontop of that both nvidia and amd have upgraded drivers for their graphics card that allow recording your video games.......but that also means NSA can tap in and watch too......

its funny how nobody made this shit years ago, but soon as NSA snowden leaks poof suddenly we have this awesome technology for the 'gamers'

I wonder if they're even legally allowed to do this shit. I know they probably have some kind of terms of service, but that doesn't mean having those terms is legal. You could put in the terms of a deal that part of the deal is you must murder a person of the seller's choosing. Even proposing it would be illegal (solicitation for murder for hire or something along those lines, which is a crime). Or a term of service could be that you agree to be murdered after 100 hours of use with their service. The practice of murder is illegal regardless. Invasion of privacy (under many different situations) is illegal.

Making/selling a product or service isn't a get out of jail free card for criminal shit.

And yes I know those are vastly different scenarios but the core principles are there.

I bring it up because I wonder what people familiar with the law, have to say about it. From what I've read it has insane DRM built into the OS itself and won't allow you to access files it determined were not legally obtained.

unless they get boycotted so bad they are forced to revive windows 7, but then the gov would step in and just give them more money to make windows 11 goatse edition, which in my opinion is what windows 10 is, and what happened to windows 8

I like windows 10 a lot. It doesn't have that stupid seperate tile page and it's instead on the tab.

The only issue for me is the driver crash but that will be fixed over time.

I tried the upgrade and it ran like shit. If my computer wasn't frozen it was extremely laggy, it wouldnt even open the browser. I uninstalled it right away. For my next computer I will happily be sacrificing a couple extra luxuries and go straight to Linux.

Would it be terribly difficult to make a operating system that was fully functional, compatible, user friendly and respects the users privacy?

Apple and Microsoft sound an awful lot like Republican and Democrat.

Well, IT is, but you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want Solitaire, media player, or drivers for a DVD.





I think it was about fifteen years ago, my dad told me that someday soon software would be on monthly-pay options only. I refused to believe him. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm overhauling my desktop and about to install Windows 7 on it... I was going to upgrade to 10 after that, but after reading this thread I thought better of it. I hope you get it all sorted out OP.

I always think about switching back from Mac but I really don't see any reason to. Especially when I see people bitching all the time about how shitty it is.





Macs have their own problems. I just got a MacBook Air a few months ago. It's really spiffy and there's a lot to like about it, but it has weird little glitchy problems for which there appears to be no solution... for example, when I have it hooked up to my TV via HDMI, the connection to the TV randomly dies for a few seconds and then needs to be re-calibrated once it comes back on, like at least once every ten minutes. I have no idea why. Nobody does. And AFAIK there's not really much I can do about it. That's the sort of dumb compatibility issue that you could solve or work around on a PC.

I had a mac book pro from 2008 that was sweet. I got another one about a year ago, and I feel like mac OS has gone to shit. Mine has weird glitchy things about it too. Like, when I close a firefox browser, it freezes up and I have to restart the machine. This happens like every three times that I close the browser.:rolleyes:

I predicted that mac would go to shit after Steve Jobs died, and so far I think I was right.

well for starters they sell their os's in bulk to places like bestbuy to have them preloaded on computers.  so people are buying it weither they like it or not.

secondly, im sure they get paid lots of money from the government.

thirdly, consoles

4thly, buisness apps

5thly, apparently by selling your privite information?

i think he's saying how a bad product could be successful, and it mostly boils down to idiots will buy anything.

I told people windows 7 was dogshit nobody believed me, i told people windows 8 was dogshit people bought it anyway said it was good, then those same people years later finally admit its dogshit, windows 10 i say is dogshit, people still saying they are going to get it even after learning they've been spied on

people are jsut bored and want to try new things i think:shrug:  windows xp is still the best OS in my mind, whats windows 7 have that xp doesn't?  shit that 2 year olds think is 'neat'.  and the only really useful shit, could have simply been patched into xp, and at his point i bet some haxors out their already have done it

Yep this happens to me.



Also I have noticed another really fucked glitched, I can't resume windows 10 from sleep mode. My keyboard and mouse turns on, but there's no video. I have to restart. Sucks because my computer is in my bedroom and it is really dusty so the fans can get a bit loud which makes falling asleep a pain.

I've had zero issues with Windows 10. Same for 7. Never used 8.

It's quite easy to turn off the parts (reporting) that some don't like.

I would definitely downgrade if I were you. I'm on windows 8.1 with classic shell and love it. Windows 10 is just some bullshit propaganda.

I bet the websites you had to download the drivers for had spyware in them.

Wasn't planning on it OP.

Win 8 was a big fucking fail from a tech point of view. So much fucking bullshit.

Windows 10 was supposed to be better. "We are making it more like 7" after all the complaints about 8.
Yeah fucking right. They might as well have called it Windows 8.5. It's basically the same Win 8 shell with a few tweaks here and there and DX12, which wont be used by most games for a long time.

I'll be sticking to Win 7 64 Ultimate for my gaming box until something better comes along.




They also fucked up their tick-tock flow. Win 10 was supposed to be good.

That list is incomplete

It needs windows 2000


Which makes it:

Windows 3.1: good - Windows 95: crap - Windows 98: good - Windows Me: crap - Windows 2000: crap

Windows xp: good -  Windows Vista: crap - Windows 7: good - Windows 8: crap - Windows 10: crap


So it is still following the rule, good-crap-good-crap-crap

I haven't looked into what features DX12 introduces, but people have always said that when a new version comes out. Really the only version of dx that was barely an upgrade from the previous was DX10


But people said DX11 wouldn't be used by games for a long time too (because you needed 600$ video cards to run it for the first 2 years from the extra stress that the tessellation added) but games came out right out of the gate with full dx11 support and looked stunning.



But without looking at what DX12 is bringing to the table, it may just be another DX10

I thought Windows 2000 was pretty good personally. It's more or less an earlier iteration of what became XP, geared to professional/institutional use (the NT line of Windows OSes). Just as reliable as XP but without the ugly UI they slapped on to make it flashy for consumers when the DOS-based line that included 95-98-Me was finally retired.

I would definitely downgrade if I were you. I'm on windows 8.1 with classic shell and love it. Windows 10 is just some bullshit propaganda.




Even with classic shell, Win 8 can suck my nuts.

Where do I even begin:
- Way too much emphasis on touchscreens, when like <1% of the population uses a fucking touchscreen. They were just trying to be more like Apple. The "metro" UI and those tiles can suck a bag of dicks.

- Hidden UIs all over the place with no explanation. Mouse over the bottom left and you get a piss poor replacement of the start menu. Mouse over the right side of the screen and you get charms. Mouse over the top left and you get tiles showing what apps are open. Nowhere is any of this shit explained.. you just have to kind of figure it out. Same with the multitudes of new key combinations needed to do certain tasks.

- Clashing UIs. The metro UI and classic UI are very poorly integrated, feels like they just bolted the shit together and the metro UI is incomplete. And no option to disable metro UI permanently, while at the same time ribbonizing and bastardizing the classic UI. Some apps wont work in Metro and flipping between the two can be an exercise in frustration. Many many apps do not even work in Metro, at all.

- Some apps opening in full screen mode automatically with no easy way to resize them

- All the power user settings are hidden away in some convoluted menu. Shit that takes me 2 seconds to find in any previous version of windows, I would spend 10 minutes just trying to track the fucking thing down.

- Incompatibilities out the ass. So many apps that work perfectly in Win 7 that don't work at all in Win8. Even though it's 'supposed' to be based on the same basic shell. 

- Just shutting down or restarting is a convoluted 5-6 step process where with every previous windows it was two clicks.

- SAFE MODE has been completely raped and bastardized. No longer is it just hit F8 at boot to get to the safe mode option, as it has always been. No.. you have to do a convoluted as fuck 7 step process..  hit Shift + F8.. then Troubleshoot.. then Advanced Options.. Startup Settings.. Restart... wait for it to restart.. choose the Safe Mode option.

Safe mode was the straw that broke the camel's back for me with Win 8. It made troubleshooting issues on people's PCs a complete pain in the dick.

On one client's PC, Win 8 was downloading an automatic update (even though he had it set to NOT automatically install updates.. imagine that).
The update fucked up, or got corruped or something.
It reboot, and got stuck at "Installing Updates" for over 2 hours.. obviously it got fucked up.
He force rebooted about 10 times, which it kept repeating the same process.
Finally, it went to "Update failed: Reverting updates"... which it also got stuck at for hours. He even left it running overnight in the hopes that it would revert itself. Nope.

This is when I came in. Now in EVERY previous version of windows... when an update failed... all you have to do is boot into safe mode (TWO fucking keypresses).. it bypasses all the non-essential drivers and software and only boots in a minimal stripped down config, in which you go into Windows Safe mode.. uninstall the update.. and reboot.. poof problem solved.

NOT IN WINDOWS 8. Nope. Try and boot into safe mode in Win8, with it's convoluted 12 step process.. it doesn't bypass the login screen at all. EVEN TRYING TO BOOT INTO SAFE MODE, IT WOULD GET STUCK ON THE SAME REVERTING UPDATE SCREEN.. MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BOOT BACK INTO WINDOWS. SAFE MODE - which is designed to troubleshoot issues just like this. No longer could you just boot into safe mode to bypass all the starting bullshit and non-essential drivers and services.. nope.. Windows 8 forces you to login through the same fucking login screen even in Safe Mode.. and it didn't bypass the fucked up update.

So basically, an update got borked.. he spent 2 days trying to solve it, called me.. I spent hours working on it.. and he finally said fuck this shit so I reformatted his HDD and installed Win 7, problems solved.

I tried Windows 8 for several months, despite knowing better. I talked shit on it since release, refused to ever try it.. but people talked me into it saying things like "it's not so bad now with 8.1".. and "if you install classic shell, it's just like Win 7"... yeah fucking right. Finally I had an app that worked best in Win 8 so I decided to give it a good solid try.
I spent ~2 1/2 months with it. Classic shell, tweaked the fuck out of it.. tried to make it perform well. I gave it a really good fucking shakedown and did my best to try and like it and get used to it. Never could. EVEN with classic shell (which made it more bearable.. there's still stupid ass Windows 8 issues all over the place). My list is not complete by a long shot, there were multitudes of things that pissed me the fuck off about it. I'm an IT tech by profession and I couldn't get the shit to work right and almost everything about it pissed me off or made it hard to use.

Finally I had that EXACT same problem my client did where I couldn't boot because an update fucked up.. I said fuck this shit and reformatted and went back to Win 7. Ahhh bliss.

DX11 was a HUGE upgrade from DX10 though.

DX12 introduces some pretty nice features to improve performance and graphics.
It's not enough to make me switch to Windows 10 though.

And chances are, there won't be as many games coming out the gate with DX12 like there were with DX11.
Hell, many games out there are still running on DX9.
It will likely be a few years before the majority of newer games are running on DX12.. and by then we will have like 2-3 newer versions of Windows.
Yeah, there are going to be some games coming out with DX12 out the gate. But it will probably take a while for it to really catch on.

Here's a video contrasting some of the differences:


It's actually a pretty big upgrade from DX11. But is it enough to make me use Win 10? Nope...

dont understand how you can sit here blaming general computer problems on the OS. None of you provide any decent reason why it is bad. Your just bitching about it. Win 10 is wonderful.

*Software/OS problems. Not general computer problems.

I don't have problems with my computers. Win 8 gave me nothing but headaches.
Win 10 is the same fucking thing lightly reskinned with a few different features.

I do the shit for a living, so it makes a big difference to me how much of a pain in the dick an OS is.

But what, you want a list or something? Here you go.

Quote:


    Windows 10 spies on you aka phones home (welcome NSA/CIA/thoughtcrime/1984)!
    You've got no real control over crucial features of the OS:
        Windows 10 will have no service packs which means it will always be a work in progress and you are a perpetual beta tester.
        Forced upgrades you cannot opt out of (and Microsoft have borked quite a lot of them recently so prepare to see your Windows die after installing a new portion of updates - actually Microsoft has already borked one update, read horror stories about KB3081424).
    Windows 10 features terrible UI inconsistency, not limited to:
        Two kinds of fonts antialiasing (ClearType v2 for classic applications and some awful dirty grayish shit for Modern apps).
        All kinds of varying visual decorations and styles (some people have discovered up to seven varying styles in Windows 10).
        Absolutely dissimilar classic and modern (PC settings) control panels.
        Different fonts faces and sizes all around.
        Different styles of settings for modern apps.
        Absolutely different context menus and their appearance in different applications and apps.
    Terrible hardly configurable appearance, dubious design choices and extremely limited functionality (vs Windows 7/XP):
        Two Control Panels with absolutely zero thought given to how they differ and why each one should be used.
        Some Control Widgets are spread between the two Control Panels which is utterly confusing (e.g. Users Management).
        No Windows classic UI for windows decorations. Windows decorations can hardly be configured at all in Windows 10.
        An awful choice of colors/palette.
        Absolutely awful, childish and amateurish icons as if we live in the era of 8bit displays (only rivalled by those in Windows 3.1 from 1992). Windows 2000 in 1999 looked better than Windows 10 in 2015.
        A big number of Windows 10 apps are still NOT on par with their classical counterparts from Windows 7/Vista/XP (many features are missing or many options are not configurable).
        The start menu is an unusable abomination. Applications are listed as a list which is nigh impossible to scroll.
    Windows 10 sucks terribly if you are an unlucky user of a metered Internet connection:
        It features huge mandatory system and apps updates (you cannot disable them, you can only postpone the system reboot after their installation).
        As if it wasn't enough, Windows 10 gets downloaded automatically if you run Windows 7 or 8.1. We are talking about 3 gigabytes of data some people absolutely do not need.
        It uses your free bandwidth to distribute updates to other users nearby you.
    With Wi-Fi sense enabled anyone you have in your Skype, Outlook or Hotmail contacts lists — and any of your Facebook friends — can be granted automatic access to your Wi-Fi network as long as they're within range.
    A newly created user profile weighs over 300MB (!) while containing zero (!) information about the user.
    A newly created user profile is populated with all the default apps instead of giving the user a choice.
    In certain cases Windows 10 may kill your display if you are an unlucky owner of a laptop made by Alienware, LG or Samsung.





In addition to most of the Win 8 bullshit.
And that's just what we've discovered so far. I'm sure much more will pop up.

I don't see how you can sit here and support an OS that pretty much flat out says "we're going to track everything you do, you will not be able to disable this feature and we will do whatever we damn well please with that information".

Would you be okay if your cable/ISP came into your home and started posting up cameras and told you that you cannot disable them and they are free to do whatever they want with the footage, and this is a term of service you must submit to?

:whatnonono: Fuck Windows 10 and fuck M$ for even doing this shit.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

General computer problems? My computer had 1 issue ever since I built it, and it was the first hard drive I put in failed after a week. Other than that, I have been running windows 7 fine on the same hard drive and have slowly upgraded components to the same computer over the years.

The day I upgraded to Windows 10, I experienced many problems like I have already posted about. So since I never had pc issues before upgrading to windows 10 and now suddenly have them, that can only mean windows 10 is causing them.

Unless of course, you do think a 4.8ghz core i7, 16gb ram, and a gtx 770 is NOT enough to rename a text file without freezing?


Yeah man, definitely my computer.

There's a lot more that got lost than just my pgp key, but that is one of the most sensitive files windows 10 destroyed. I am gonna have to delete and reinstall all my programs it seems, as windows 10 left it's lingering shitfest tangled in my programs still. Things are still freezing up and everything is just all fucked.


I am gonna order a copy of a mac os to replace all this shit, I have lost all trust/faith in microsoft and they can suck a huge dick.

I was just going to post how to get there, but you found it.

If you don't want to downgrade, you can access your BIOS settings and put your computer in legacy mode for the time being.  Just Google "legacy BIOS [your hardware manufacturer and/or model here]".  Bitter Cactus and anyone else dealing with freezing and lag will likely benefit from doing so.  Until they get their shit updated and fixed that's the best you can do, fucking legacy mode.

Shroomism - I wasn't aware of the power user menu accessed by press Windows Key + X for the longest time, that was one nice thing at least.  In the future they should outright ask about your computer knowledge and offer two different versions, one that's pretty for people who don't know a computer and one that's geared towards power users.

Why would you go to the dark side? If anything.. install Linux. Fuck OSX even harder than 10.

Dude... never do their stupid "automatic recovery" bullshit. Things will almost always fuck up in the registry or elsewhere.
If you are going to install a new OS or revert to an older one, the best way is always to completely reformat the hard drive/SSD.. and do a clean install of the OS. That's the only way to ensure it's going to go in smoothly and clean.
Of course always back up your important data first......

I'm gonna assume that since he's willing to order another OS and install it clean, that he simply doesn't have the option for a clean reinstall of windows 7 (meaning he doesn't have the disc).

Horse fiddlesticks. If you don't have a CD drive, you can install it via a USB stick. Win 7 can be obtained for free...

Meh, pirated/cracked OSs are too much of a pain in the ass for me. I got one for some Frankenstein computer I built out of random computer parts and a pet carry cage. Lot easier to just have a legit copy with a serial code.

I've had a working copy of 7 64 ultimate for 5+ years that has worked flawlessly, even downloads updates and everything. Never had an issue with it once.
Every year or two I will end up doing a clean install just to get rid of all the accumulated crap without having to dink with it.

For the longest time there was this legitimate Microsoft-sanctioned site where you could just download various Win7 ISOs. I think they've closed down now though.

It might still be there, if you mean the virtual machine .ova's for developers.  http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/windows/

Edit: I forgot about the .iso files hosted at Digital River, they're long gone, but they've been preserved as torrents. http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

Yeah Digital River is what I was thinking of. Good to hear they're still available as torrents.
