I have this week completed building my new Pc and I have received a message in settings you need to activate windows 10 which was a free download in July 2015 as I was upgrading from windows 7,however the product code I have does not work and Microsoft said I will have to buy a new key is this correct.
I reserved Windows 10 upgrade in July. App shows that computer is compatible. It is near the end of Nov. and no notification to install. Should the Threshold 2 update allow me to install Windows 10? Everyone around me seems to have gotten the notice to install the upgrade but me.
The mail app doesn't seem to run in the background. If I turn on my computer and I have mail, it does not alert me. It also doesn't alert me if I am working on my computer and receive an email.
I got updated last night. I can't find my update history. I used to be able to in Win 7. In Win 10 I don't know what to click on. A notification appeared at the lower right corner of the screen and then disappeared after about two seconds. The Notification area says No Notifications.
This has been happening for the last week. I need to know which update it rode in on so I can remove it. It is very irritating just like the Windows 8 to 8.1 forced update notification.
I have my system set to only notify me about updates, at which time I use the Update Hider diagcab to hide unwanted updates. But this is a new twist, now I am still forced to do updates from this obnoxious notification.
How would I shut this off, I disabled the Forced Windows 8 to 8.1 update notification through Group Policy Editor, would I remove this one the same way?
When it pops up, and it will pop up in the middle of my work, I can't DO anything except to click on it. This is mostly why I stick to Windows 7 because of cack like this.
My computer is trying to install Update to Windows 10 Home, version 1511, 10586, but can't. It claims there is no system reserved partition, but there is. This computer was upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and immediately after doing that I installed a Samsung SSD and migrated the system to it using the software that came with the SSD. The migration went well and I've been using Windows 10 for months.
All of a sudden, when trying to do some updates it claims it cannot update the system reserved partition. The partition is there, it's 100MB in size. So I tried booting from the install CD, which I burned to do the upgrade (so I know it's a good disc). My computer recognizes there's a disc in the DVD drive, but no matter how I set the bios boot order it will not boot from the DVD, so I can't do a repair on the SSD.
Today I had to do a reinstall to fix some things (it didn't fix them lol) so now I'm stuck. Windows 10 will not update. I get the error code 0x80240442 after a while. I'm not sure if its an issue with my drivers not being updated, but all of the web pages I have found that have this error code won't open. Not even the Microsoft pages, including hotmail.
I did the w10 update fairly quickly when it was available. upgraded from windows 7 using their program. not fresh install. perhaps this is reason for weirdness.
My computer seems to be waking very often at odd times. using powercfg /lastwake i see one reason is: "owner supplied reason: .../Media Center/mcupdate_scheduled"
My question: If media center was removed in w10 why does it still have a folder, and why are its pointless scheduled tasks still running? How do I remove these and other waking scheduled tasks?
I am on the Windows 10 insider program. Currently on build number 10547. I started noticing an error in Update Windows that said that an update couldn't be installed (see the attached screenshot below) I have attempted to click install now. One of the update seems to install but not the other, then after, I get BSOD. I need to correct tho issue so that I can continue to receive the latest Windows 10 insider updates. Attached is zip from the error.
I've been trying to install the newest W10 update, but I've been having some trouble. I've tried 2 times to update my computer but it restores back to my previous version of windows because the update failed.
I've checked Event Viewer and all that gave me was "error 0x8024200D" and nothing else that I saw that could work.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro on Version 10.0.10240 (Build 10240)
so im trying to update windows 10, and it keeps on getting stuck on install. i tried many things and left it for over an hour and nothing happens, the only way to stop it is to end it in task manager.
I'm planning to go from windows 8 to windows 10 after getting my first build, and I'm curious if I need to update my drivers before getting windows 10 or not. I know you put in the OS disc before any driver discs that came with your hardware so I don't know if I can just do a clean install of windows 10 and then get my drivers or not.
This the first time am having an issues with the update center.the rest of updates from today (Office 16) were fine.Once again when am trying to install KB3124263 - am stuck at Getting Windows ready after performing Windows update.the only way to get rid of it (after 30 min) is to press the RESET button.
Tried sfc /scannow => CBS.Log

I dont have adobe flash on my laptop, how do i stop this annoying update from trying to install on my laptop? Everytime i reboot it tries to install it and fails it's getting pretty frustrating now.
It keeps writing itself on my registry too it's very annoying as i DONT USE ANYTHING FLASH RELATED (html5 ftw) NOR DO I USE IE (firefox) in fact i disabled IE under 'turn windows features on or off'.
My test computer (specs follow) is stuck at build 10586.11 I cannot install any cumulative upgrade, they all fail and Windows Update undoes any change to the system. In order to be able to install any other update I have to use the show/hide tool to hide the cumulative updates. My main computer (see my specs) and several of my friends have no problem upgrading up to 10586.36, but this particular one fails for some reason. I already tried to disable some devices in Device Manager and disable some services and startup applications, nothing worked.
Specs of my test computer that has the issue:
Computer: Custom-build server system Motherboard: Supermicro PDSG4 (Intel socket 775) Chipset: Intel Glenwood 955X (supports up to Pentium D dual-core CPU socket 775, not newer models) CPU: Intel Pentium D 945 3.40GHz dual-core socket 775 RAM: 4GB DDR2 667MHz (4x 1GB modules in dual channel mode) Graphics: XFX GeForce 7300GS SATA Controller: Intel ICH7R with RAID support SCSI Controllers: Adaptec 7901 Single channel Ultra 320 SCSI & Adaptec SCSI RAID 20105/Supermicro AOC-LPZCR supported LAN: Intel 82573V PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller Audio: Realtek AC'97 audio high quality 6-channel sound OS: Windows 10 Pro TH2 build 10586.11 32-bit English US
I have already hidden the Realtek AC'97 audio driver update which is known to cause BSOD, so this is not causing the issue.
So, I have Windows 10 already installed on my PC. I upgraded it last Summer from Windows 7 for free.
I've been trying to update it for the past 6 weeks but keep getting the error: "Windows 10 couldn't be installed. Windows can't be installed because this PC has an unsupported desk layout for UEFI firmware."
I have 3 hard drives and Win10 is running on my main SSD, disk 0. I remember having some funky upgrade issues and needed to unplug certain hard-drives due to strange ownership issues. Heres is a look from Disk Management. I've got an MSI m-board plus BIOS, all new.
Successfully upgraded to Windows 10, all applications and settings works perfectly and all previous problems are gone.
I've been facing a collection of annoying problems with my Windows 8.1, specifically setting saving problem, for example can't save settings like default app, folder and icon size, i didn't update to Win10 yet because i am working on very important projects.
My question is, do you think this kind of problems will be fixed after updating to Win10 by keeping all my files, programs, etc... ?Or should i do a clean installation of Win10 so my computer will be "system-new".
I have set group policy to notify for update and notify for download, so when I manually check for updates, it shows any that are available, however when there are multiple updates available, there is no option to download/install an individual one, it just downloads / installs all of them?
Is there a way around this, as there is no point of the manual setting if it downloads /installs all of them at once anyway?
how to install manually a patch which seems to be quite essential to upgrade my 16gb tablet to the 1511 build of windows 10:
the patch is KB3124260 and I downloaded manually the .cab file from the official support site, but I have no experience about this, and no clue on how to install it. Is there any tool or script available?
