Sorry. I'm stopping at 7. 8 and 10 have shown me nothing that I want to use for computer tasks. I will go to Linux for any further needs I have.

 

[HandLoad]

Updating now.

 

[Catapult]

I've used the later versions but at home I only use 7. It simply works. I don't need all the extra bells and tinsel.

I have Confounders that extend back, back, baaack to DOS 2.1

 

[Sentinel one]

Yup.. linux is next for me, too..

I run Linux as a virtual OS inside windows 10. Trying to get smaller computer working to run as a dedicated Linux box.

I’m tired of Windows and their spying and incompetence/ blue screening computers because they f’ed up updates. Linux mint next for me.

Have run Debian on some of my machines for a while. Mint works pretty well for me on the older laptops, and one of the things I appreciate about linux systems is the ability to remain with an older version after the new and fashionable goodies have come out. Got one Puppy Linux version on an old XP laptop that dates back twenty years.

I got nuthin' running Win10. But I have also heard there are necessary security patches for Win7; perhaps the last to be released.

I can’t dl any up dates since December. Keeps saying failed, will try later. I have a good firewall. F Microsoft

I have mint on my on my circa 2003 Dell laptop. I don’t use it much because 802.11b slows my network down to ungodly levels. I’m running Ubuntu as a virtual on my work and home power PCs. I am admittedly a windows guy and I really have it just to mess around with. I have a Linux Server admin class coming up so I guess I’ll be learning. But that’s mostly all cli

Looks like the most recent "very important" security update of Windows 10 lost and/or forgot where and how many USB ports.

Tired of the KeyWrap Windows "Environment".

Can you uninstall the update and go back using restore points?

Using the POS Stream. I could never do the last major Win 10/NSA update due to low memory. I rarely get online with it. Just use it for radio.

So I’m free of Microsofts ignorant crap.

If you manually created a restore point or had windows set to automatically create one, you can go back to it. Windows 10 updates have a 30 day “revert back” option you can use. After that it’s a bit more difficult to go back

But even if you go back, windows 10 makes it difficult to not update. When we know an update has a bug we set it to pause updates for 30 days and have to keep resetting that

What do you mean by this?

 

[HandLoad]

Back up/on Air! Combo of Win 10 update, Signallink radio interface, and "Smoke in the Cockpit" led to getting sideways to the World.

All is Well, All is Well.

Windows 10 got lost. Didn’t know where or how many USB ports the laptop in question has
