Windows 10 upgrade - how would this work?

[Krandor]

Wait, you mean the update from 3 months ago?

[Elizara]

Yeah. For some reason, it finally pushed to me today; maybe b/c I had to redo the system. ^^

Random question, but has anyone had any problems with their audio devices suddenly stopping for no reason on them in Windows 10?

[Omniyoji]

Nope, but I'm having the keyboard during wake up at the lock screen problem. Thankfully I can swipe up on the touchscreen.

[Corrderio]

Well seems to be working fine. Dunno if the realtek driver I got is FUBAR'd or something else.

Though it seems like I've been having an array of problems lately.

Mine just did the same thing after updating had to re enable my realtek audio device and restart to get sound back.

So today I signed into the store for the first time and my account converted from a local account to a Microsoft Account. I was doing three things at once and should have been more careful. Anyways, I immediately switched it back to local. What I'm curious about though if if that would have changed anything that could cause problems down the road. I could restore to a backup from a couple of days ago, but it's looking like no major harm was done. The user folders didn't change, and I was able to remove the account (which I don't actually use for anything else) from mail, calendar, etc. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about if it would be "cleaner" to go to my backup or if it doesn't really matter.

I got a bit upset at first because it started auto-downloading stuff from the store, but now that I've shut it all down it seems fine. As much as I do like Windows 10, sometimes the paradigm shift still catches me off guard.

Microsoft's Cortana can only use Bing to search now after it was found that most people used Google.

Just upgraded, but having 2 issues.

1) Keyboard isn't being detected once in Windows. This problem fixes itself if I replug the USB connector, but I'd obviously prefer a more permanent solution. It's an old wireless keyboard, so any kind of post-XP drivers are out and it seems to be defaulting to a generic Logitech HID compatible thing.

2) FUCK THE DEFAULT FONT. I think they call it Seguo or something, but it's something I generally find unreadable due to the thinness of the lettering. Would prefer going back to Arial or whatever 7 used, but apparently they removed the option sometime ago and me tweaking registry doesn't seem to do the trick. So, if someone has experience here, help would be gravy.

You mean Segoe UI?
I quite like it. I think your best choice is patching the UX and installing custom themes.

[Krandor]

Display Settings -> Advanced Display Settings -> Advanced Sizing of text and other items

Choose the appropriate items and set them to larger font size/bold

[arus2001]

Tried that. Really not an alternative to utilizing a different font.

Wound up reverting back to 7 after it wanted to start giving me issues over my monitor, too. Just going to chalk it up to this rig being too old.

[Jamison]

Is the clear type tuner still a thing? Maybe that could help.

Hoping someone finds a way around this. I want to use my OS however the fuck I please. Fuck Bing.

Unlocked Framerate, Freesync, and G-SYNC Support finally added

KB3133977 Update will brick Win7 users if they have an ASUS motherboard
Microsoft made it worse when earlier last month they switched it from an Optional update to a Recommended one

An update titled KB3133977 can potentially trigger a “secure boot violation” during startup, according to a report from The Register. This prevents the computer from loading its OS, rendering it rather useless.

According to Asus, the problem stems from the fact that the affected motherboards have a feature called Secure Boot enabled by default. This is not supported by Windows 7, but the KB3133977 update tricks the boards into thinking that it is, which causes a conflict once the system tries to initialize its OS.

KB3133977 has been available for some time, but was previously listed as an optional update by Microsoft. Its status was changed to recommended last week, which means it was installed automatically for many users via Windows Update, in some cases disabling their systems until a fix can be found.

Anyone with an Asus motherboard who is running Windows 7 and hasn’t yet been affected can take some preventative measures to avoid running afoul of the glitch. The company recommends that users disable UEFI Secure Boot by accessing the firmware settings on their PC and tinkering with the UEFI Advanced Menu.

Updating to Windows 10 is another foolproof solution to the problem.

I believe the Gsync/Freesync support is automatic, unlocked framerate is on a per game basis however

I don't use Cortana or chrome so I don't know if this works:

Not sure if it was in here but is there a way to fix the screen tearing issue with Google Chrome since updating to Win10? I've tried a few of the methods from the interwebs w/o resolution.
