Have to agree, very annoying to find some of the bloatware I'd deleted or disabled appears to have been re-instated!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Did they botch something again? A midweek update (After the anniversary edition) re-ticked proxy boxes (Disabled on purpose) and crippled a load of programs.

-Origin - Wouldn't display anything
-Steam - Would log in but wouldn't display store
-uPlay - Wouldn't log in
-Skype - Would log in but wouldn't display the home page
-Spotify - Would log in but then claim it was offline.

I shouldn't have to go searching for settings being re-enabled after each update, everything should be where I left it. Windows 10 has a nice layout and I do like it but Microsoft are really starting to get on my... etc.

Was done in 5 minutes (A Bugatti compared to the last one), just proxy issue above, I have no idea why it re-enabled settings I'd purposely disabled after the update. The anniversary update kindly pinned Edge and Windows store to my taskbar, cheeky sods.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

For once I had NO issues after the last update. Everything I disabled stayed Disabled. Firefox stayed as my Browser and Edge gone to Oblivion.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

My computer died last week, i worked out it was either the i3 processor or the motherboard, but seeing the motherboard chipset was so old and hard to source i replaced both of them with a newer chipset MB which also worked with my DD3 memory modules.

As Windows 10 was tied to the hardware i was worried i would lose activation which i did, but after a few clicks in Windows i was back up and running fully activated, i was expecting to have to call Microsoft and persuade them to reactive.

edit

Scrap the above as i noticed the date and time was wrong on the PC so i am guessing when i changed it it borked the activation and now i can't get it activated as the servers are down, will keep trying.
