Thought I would start a topic on windows 10, and issues you have had, and have you fixed it.

I updated on Sunday 2nd of August 2015, the update when well,

One issue, Adobe lightroom 6.1 would run for about 5 minutes then stop responding, had to close the program, then reopen it to get it working again.

Reinstalled lightroom but that did not fix the issue.

So to cut a long story short, and looking on google and adobe help pages, turning off the graphics processor in the setting of lightroom was the answer, but I could not untick the box, lightroom would crash,

But I now have it all working, :) :) and this is the fix.

That sounds like bad GPU drivers or bad usage of OpenCL.
Have you looked at the drivers?

HTH

I updated the graphics card drivers, but still lightroom crashed, on searching the internet for a answer, I'm not the only one with the same problem,

Adobe are aware of the problem, and thats why they posted a fix on there help pages.

The odd thing is Photoshop works fine in windows 10 without any issues.

Lightroom worked fine in windows 8.1

I had this problem when I first installed PS CC and that was on Windows 8.1 . I had to unclick it and it has been fine since.

having problems setting up my charter mail account. Gmail set up easy.
I went to Charter's website for setting up mail for the desktop, but there was nothing for Windows 10. I used the Windows 8 setup guide but it is still not syncing my charter mail. I filled in everything like you're supposed to. incoming/ outgoing port numbers, unchecked SSL requirements and the whole nine yards.

I've got a couple of small issues. My win 8.1 laptop bought earlier this year refuses to be ready for windows 10 even though I reserved. Clicking the tray icon says they are still validating windows 10 for my machine. I'm not in a rush, its only been about 4 months since my big crash and I hate the thought reloading all my stuff again so soon if things go wrong.

My daughter's early model win 8.1 laptop refused to show the reserve icon at all. I ran windows update and applied all the manual 'fixes' that I found. Still no icon. I finally downloaded the media creation tool and made a dvd. Installed from dvd with no problems. Everything seemed fine for an hour or so, then AVG free antivirus did an update and wanted a reboot. It would not fully boot. Endless loop of telling me it had a problem and needed to restart. I had to get into safe mode and disable avg then booted fine. I removed avg and booted fine several times. Reinstalled avg and again could not boot. Removed AVG and its been running several days now. Seems good. Just running Windows Defender for now.

According to M, defender is all you need. All I'm running at the moment. Reckon I'll find out.

Guessing it took about an hour after the download, but I think it would be faster on a faster CPU.

Most of what I have heard on W10 has been positive. I have not upgraded the W7 machine and likely will not. It may come in handy for troubleshooting other W7's and there is some software on it that may not like the Big 1010.

I downloaded windows 10 from the windows website, took about 70 minutes to download, install, and it restarted a few times.

I only had 2 issues, the one above with lightroom (now fixed)
And my "One drive" (online storage) and that all working now.

I left my computer to it while installing.

I've had defender running on my wife's win 7 machine for a year now, no issues. She will likely stay at win 7 for a good while, it does everything she needs and it is nice to have an older system around for reference. We will see how the next year goes, I expect microsoft to break something to get last the holdouts to jump to 10.

My daughter's took almost 3 hours. Nothing was prepped though, that machine wouldn't reserve. So there was quite awhile taking updates, then it was about 2 hours for the actual install. I don't think I had to answer any questions along the way once it got going. Question early on about wiping it clean or saving files and apps.

I notified MS about 3 weeks ago that I wanted to upgrade and files were downloaded over 3 or 4 days (before July 29). When I got back from holiday last Wednesday the install was amazingly quick. I used the Technical Preview for 3 months earlier this year and was impressed by its stability. Still haven't had time to check out the full install for compatability issues. My only concern is with the inability to opt out of updates on the Family version. What are MS planning for us in the future?

My problem is that win 10 is not reading the memory card in usb port. So is there something I need to do so I can download photos into ViewNX2?

My upgrade on my Asus laptop (from 8.1) went fine. Only did some cursory testing as it will reside on a dual boot system which is normally boot to Linux. My wife's machine from Win 7 had one hitch. that machine had the MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) problem. The update is supposed to remove it and turn on Defender, it did not. MS is saying it happens to a small number of machines and are recommending MSE be uninstalled before the upgrade. MSE can be disabled and Defender turned on after the upgrade. MSE will not uninstall in some cases after the upgrade.

More info here.

I installed Windows 10 over Windows 8.1 on my wife's business PC. Outlook refused to send emails and threw up a supposed network error.

After corresponding with both my web site hosting company and ISP it became obvious the problem was somewhere in the machine.

Turns out that in some circumstances, going from 8.1 to 10 with Office 365 installed corrupts a couple of vital system files.

Solution =
open a command box running as administrator and run the system file checker utility via the command
sfc /scannow

I had an audio problem. Had to remove driver and restart system.

I downloaded Win 10 on my wife's desktop. After installing, I couldn't get ANY audio whatsoever. I ended up going back to Win 8.1 where I have no problems with audio. Is there anything that remotely describes the audio problem you had, and what exactly did you do to fix the problem? Thanks for your help!

When I try to install/update to Windows 10 (from a perfectly functional Win7 Home install) I get an error message that says, "The system reserved partition is too small". From what I can tell the solution is to modify at least one of the partitions on the system drive (C:).

Heh. Repartition the drive, eh?

Yeeeeeahhh... I can see the outcome already: Windows 10 will blow yet another gasket during the install at some critical point, leaving my drive in tatters and with no install media for the current release. I'll then have to reformat and reinstall Win7 from media just so I can start the whole nightmare all over again!

Can I just get an install disk, please, for Win10? I don't mind doing a clean install if I know going in that's what needs to be done.
