weirdcal Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 That wifi sharing is one of the dumbest things ive ever seen . Really, why would I want strangers gaing automatic access to my wifi and then they can share the password for all c***s plus then im trusting Microsoft with my password!? That will be getting switched off immediatley and noone who enter my house with a windows 10 pc will be getting my wifi until its off on theirs. already a feature of windows phones. its quite smart - your password is shared via your mobiles and they gain access to the wifi but cant see password (unless you go into the router and work it out / its out in the open) but I have yet to test if it allows me to open the router settings on a shared connection as my phone usually is the sharing phone.

Pepper Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I had a few failed updates noted in windows updater so had to follow the instructions and force manual updating. I also ran a disk cleanup utility from the window updater troubleshooting page and had to turn off Mcafee firewall too, not sure which worked but it installed after that. I'm in the process of creating a bootable usb at the minute just in case it all goes pete tong down the line. Quite liking it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now just says it'll tell me when its ready to install. Hopefully it'll kick off this evening otherwise I'll look into the download from the Microsoft site.

welshbairn Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Have you tried clicking on the wee three bar button on the top left of the upgrade window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thats what I did. This post has been brought to you by Windows 10 Came home and noticed there was a failed update at 6:16am for Windows 10. PC said it needed to be restarted for a pending update and another failed update appeared. Quick Google took me to a post on the Microsoft forums - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/windows-10-failed-to-install-error-code-80240020/9d69a99b-1851-4464-b10b-e69946993e78?auth=1 Deleted the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\, ran the command wuauclt.exe /updatenow and then launched Windows Update. It is downloading right now. Hopefully this time it succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Finally installed. The download was running incredibly slowly until I accidentally blocked the process doing the download in my firewall and when I unblocked it suddenly the speed shot up. After the install completed and Windows started up I couldn't get the start menu to respond. I launched a few things like Firefox and Thunderbird but they weren't responding after they launched. I restarted the PC about 3 times and it is now behaving itself. Either that solved whatever the issue was or it just finished whatever background tasks it was up to. This is my desktop in full Windows 10 glory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is downloading right now. Hopefully this time it succeeds. I read somewhere that that command does absolutely nothing. Anyone reporting it as working just happened to run it at the same time MS made the download available to them. I did mine manually last night, which was a lot easier than faffing around trying to get the auto one to start. First impressions are that its ok, nothing more really The main issue was that it didnt install any NVIDIA drivers, so I had to go do that manually. Then after I unlocked the PC later on it had reverted to basic VGA drivers. If that keeps happening I'll be rolling back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I keep getting black screen when I put the power in but when I take the cable out the screen comes back to life. But if I HDMI to my TV it works fine. Hmm is this 10 or just laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DensParkNumber1 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 hmm would say its a bit coincidental to not be windows 10 but it not a normal issue to get , have you checked that your graphic card drivers are fully updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NVIDIA installer wouldnt run. Kept erroring saying "the installer is already running"! To fix this, I had to go into task manager, kill all the NVIDIA stuff running and then run the install again Better not happen again I like the multiple desktops, but I wish there was a way to access them with single click, rather than having to click on the Task View icon first, or use keyboard shortcuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
