Microsoft snuck their update on without me looking and it's installing now. I thought it had been pulled till they fixed the issue with it deleting user data...  scared2:

Panic over, either my rig isn't one of the ones susceptible to the bug or Microsoft fixed and reissued the update.  :thumbsup:

Well mine seems to have updated overnight

It says it's pending a restart but mysteriously the taskbar had changed to the effin useless transparent mode and the speakers turned back on so it was making annoying noises as emails arrived etc

I think all my umpteen billion of files are still there but how would I know unless I spend a million years checking them

Well that was a farce... ::)

Got the big update this morning, all seems to be fine but logging-in has alternated between using a PIN and password for no obvious reason then the PIN not working and having a reset code sent to my mobile...  noooo:

It wouldn't bleddy let me!  cussing:

First I was using the PIN, then it said 'something has gone wrong' and I had to use the password (which suited as that is how the old one was set up), then it changed back to PIN, then told me there was a problem and forced me to change the PIN!  Banghead

No problems with Windows 10 on my new refurb rig so far, could it be a case of PICNIC?  whistle:

I don't think so...  rubschin:

The other thing is has done is changed the 'hack' that allowed you to use the old photo viewer in place of the new Win10 one...  evil:
