Windows 10 Latest Build "For Gamers" Is it Ready for Primetime?
location:
8forums.com - date:
May 22, 2015
I enjoy any "Brink run" Windows site as they seem to have lots of knowledgeable,helpful people. I understand that the Nvidia Geforce Windows 10 Forum would be posters with issues but, man, SLI issues, game stuttering issues (with Directx 12?), G Sync issues, max Vram issues, lockups, etc all with a "Microsoft Windows 10 certified" Nvidia graphic driver. Also, from what I understand, the latest build of Windows 10 is pretty much final, with Microsoft working on "App stuff" now.
Are there any Windows 10 experts on this forum who are also serious PC gamers? What I'm trying to understand is whether or not there might be a lot of Kepler SLI owners ( I have Asus 770's in SLI) who are running the latest Wind

Accounts Created after Windows 10 Latest Update
location:
8forums.com - date:
November 16, 2015
After the latest big Windows 10 update today, I see two user accounts have been created, namely "Default" and "Default.migrated" Neither existed beforehand. They both contain quite a few folders and subfolders which at the bottom level are all empty. Can I safely delete these accounts?
Previously I had all Public Folders from the Public Account set to locations off my SSD, now they have been recreated on my SSD and I can't move them apart from "Public Account Pictures" as the option to relocate them is not present even though Windows says they can be relocated - see screenshots.
Can the Public Account be deleted without consequence - I never use it!

Hello!
Recently i had the problem of having no sound at all after updating to windows 10. I figured that i wasn't the only one with this problem.
Solution:
1) Go to Computer Management > Device Manager.
Go to v Audio -input and -output
Press the arrow key .
2) you will now see 2 options, your internal Microphone (Conexant smartaudio HD)
and your internal speaker/headphone (Conexant smartaudio HD)

Relocated ProgramData and Users: Stuck for Windows 10 Upgrade?
location:
7forums.com - date:
June 6, 2015
When I first installed Windows 7 several years ago, I moved my ProgramData and Users folders to my standalone drive, kept my Program Files and Windows on my RAID-0/SSD. It's been great to me, separating my RAID-0 SSDs from my data and no issues at all.
But now with Windows 10 coming, it seems that I'm stuck, and this set up can't perform in-place upgrades, which Gabe Aul says it's a requirement to get the free Windows 10. I know for starters Windows 8 and beyond does not play nice with a relocated ProgramData, even with junctions.
So what should I do now? Should I just clean re-install Windows 7 for the upgrade? I've already moved most of my data out of the Users folder and reconfigured my libraries. I also thought of doing an offline

Latest Windows 10 Update 4 December 2015
location:
microsoft.com - date:
December 4, 2015
I have had to use system restore and then, when the two updates of 4/12/15 were once again added to my Vaio Ultrabook, I am having problems with using the internet. I have uninstalled these two update (one of them was KB3116908).
The messages I was getting were:
1 One or more network protocols are missing from this computer
2 The Windows Wireless Service is not running on this computer
I tried running a fix before uninstalling but after a few minutes the internet connection went down again.
I have not had this problem before and I don't have it with these updates uninstalled.
Can anyone help?

No ethernet after latest Windows 10 update
location:
8forums.com - date:
December 11, 2015
I no Ethernet, but I do have wireless. Everything was functional on the 9th November, and messed up after the 10 November update. I checked everything, and the pcs running Windows 10 don't have Ethernet but my Windows Server 2012r2 has Ethernet just fine. I had XFINITY check everything on their end. I tried Winsock reset several times but no change.
Any suggestions or ideas? This happened on one of the builds before, and it seemed after a lot of hem- hawing they fixed whatever they did.

Slow wifi after latest major Windows 10 update
location:
microsoft.com - date:
December 10, 2015
Hi,
Since the major Windows 10 update, my wifi download and upload speed is much slower (tested ~5mbps download on wireless compared to 100mbps with ethernet cable plugged in). I have tried updating the wireless card driver, but it says it is up to date. I get
the same speed results using different browsers (Firefox and Edge). Judging by previous comments I guess this is a problem with the Realtek wireless card driver. Details are:
- Windows 10 Home version 1511
-Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC
- No antivirus or firewall running except Windows Defender
Any suggestions much appreciated
Thanks
Jason

Latest Version of AirPrint works on Windows 10

From here:
How to enable AirPrint for Windows
Seems like they updated the zip package. I had been having trouble because I have an ancient Brother HL-1230 LaserJet printer, the drivers require NTVDM (16 bit support). I had to use the drivers made for XP to get the printer working, but under Windows 10 I have not been able to connect my XP system to the shared Brother printer. I can connect under Windows 8.0.
But for anyone who uses AirPrint to allow printing from their iDevices, iPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple Watch etc. - I wasn't sure if it would work under 10, it does. Just follow the instructions. They don't say it, but after you finish everything on the site, then open up Bonjour Printer Wizard and if your printer is not

In the past few days I've received e-mail that contain graphics that don't show the pictures and in place is a red X and a message that the "Linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location." This includes the UPS My Choice e-mail notification e-mail, one from National Geographic, and The Upworthyiest daily e-mail. Others appear to be fine. I checked my security settings regarding downloading images under File|Outlook Options|Trust Center|Automatic Downloads and the option "Don't download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or RSS items" is unchecked. Not sure what other settings might effect this but again, it's o
