mcbpete Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Aye, what happened - Apart from the much improved start menu, which I actually use now (back in Win7&8 days I was using Classic Shell) I can't really spot much difference ....

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 All-round slower performance, boot time is ridiculous, display card driver isn't working properly, new control panel is too idiotproof, and that new start menu is pretty pointless. It's pretty much the Metro UI on a smaller scale.

mcbpete Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The boot time/slower performance is probably just it downloading and installing updates/security fixes etc. My laptop is over 5 years old now and I can get from the system being fully off to the login screen is about 10/15 seconds, then desktop a further 5-10 seconds after that. (took a couple of days before it got back to that nippy pace again) "display card driver isn't working properly" obviously sounds like a biggy, what's the card, what's not working properly ?

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Gotcha. Will give it a couple days and see if anything's improved. I do a lot of graphic design/video work and noticed some weird aliasing going on as soon as I upgraded Windows, so I manually installed a driver update. (Never had to do that before. I'm always notified/updates install automatically.) It didn't seem to do anything so I posted my mini-rant shortly after lol. Just installed it again and everything seems fine, however I tried running BioShock Infinite and it randomly black-screened. Maybe that's something that will be corrected after updates as you say.

geosmina Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 So my first impressions of this is that Reveal hidden contents THIS FUCKING SUCKS So it seems programs work fine so yeah np there, but for some reason it is taking an abysmal time to boot up. Like, first it appears the Dell screen, normal and stuff, but then a black screen appears for like fucking 4 minutes and then that login screen with the ugly photo of GMUNK (I dislike his style a lot) and then i need to wait another 1 minute with a black screen so then it can appear my desktop BUT I need to wait again like 3 minutes because if I use the touchpad it instantly get a BSOD... I'm trying to install latest drivers and shit but if this shit doesn't work I'll upgrade (yes, fucking WIN10 "upgrade"? it was a downgrade!) to 8.1.

I've mentioned this too, but like mcbpete already said, this is more to do with it being a brand new OS. My boot-up speed is already significantly better since I've installed it (on day of release).
