    Imagine if you couldn't log out after update...

    Y'mean I'd have to stay on this forum forever?

    Not like now... :rolleyes:



    Thanks all.

    I checked my updates, and found that the troublesome one wasn't there amongst the 'installed' ones - which made sense as the PC had successfully restored back a month. I was chust about to shut the PC offski after all this malarkey when I noticed the 'shut down' button had the update 'shield' on it... Guess what would have happened if I'd clicked to shut down? :mad:.

    So's I went into the list of waiting updates - about 17 of the bar stewards - and unclicked the one that has been accused. I then installed the rest...

    I wonder what it'll be like when I next boot up :rolleyes:

    Think mines now downloading the " Fall Update" for Win 10. (or could that be the Fail Update??) I bloody well hope Microsoft have got this one right (although I do have a Win7 comp on standby,,, (just in case) ;);)

    You would most likely be AOK - according to the blogs MS have issued a new version today that replaces the one causing the grief.

    My PC was doing something strange a couple of days ago so I turned it off, good to know what the problem was, I'll turn it on again now.

    Been two weeks since I dated the 5th pc here from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
    And Windows 10 is behaving itself very well, no blue screens of death, running very smoothly, still meddling & tweaking settings to my liking.

    I'm not liking the new browser "Edge " from Microsoft, at the moment. I find it runs very slow compared to Chrome or even IE. Apparently it's to be fixed with the new update (downloaded at the moment and now preparing to install 90% done) We'll see.

    I updated my Win 8 PC (this one) to 10, and all is well.

    The other Win 7 PC has a built-in TV tuner so the loss of Media Centre would have been a major pain - so that's why I stayed with 7.

    Now, why would MS get rid of such a good media player? Twits.

    Never used Media Centre, so I don't miss it,always other better options like Plex, Kodi & others.

    Just installed the update & all is well.

    Need to download 'Rainbow Folders' add on, so I can have various coloured folders again, makes things easy being colour coded.:)

    Now installed the Fall Update. Edge still runs slow (although I have scanned my computer with Advance Care 8 and it's a bit faster now, but AC8 does clean junk files etc, from the computer.

    What this episode made me realise is that I don't have a Win 7 back-up disc.

    It's a valid install - code is on t'side - so is it a simple task to make this disc?

    Ta muchly again.

    Easy job.:)

    Plenty of guides on google, I have back up discs, plus I have copy saved to a external hard drive.

    It's a registry key.

    Hit Start> type 'Run'> Type 'Regedit' and hit enter.

    It's in there.

    Cheers, Para. I did get that far - I found 'Hive' under the file menu after 'regedit' - but couldn't locate (didn't know where or how to) the Hkey_Local_ malarkey.

    Anyhoo, it's all sorted and good.

    You can do more harm than good playing around with Hives, if your not confident.

    I've heard bad things about hives... :oops:



    (What does 'Hives' actually mean in the PC world?)
