windows 10

[Tekkie.X]

Upgrading to 10 broke a hell of a lot less for me than upgrading to 7 or 8 did.

Upgrading to 10 literally broke nothing for me and actually fixed quite a few things.

The only issue that I've had is with one of my 'legacy' laptops... it has a 1st gen i7 so I guess that is what you could call it. It has a 'way beyond its support cycle' AMD GPU, for which Windows Update keeps installing a driver that does not work.

I have one that does work, but WU keeps replacing it with a broken driver. I can't seem to get win10 to block this update and/or disable updating drivers automatically.

dude nobody has enough information about your system or configuration to even begin to debug this issue for you, and you have already posted three times with absolutely no content to try and help.  Now you have worn out your welcome.

Make sure run as admin is on.  Sometimes it is not automatic.  Select the icon then right click it.  Go to properties and compatibility and select run as admin.

A friend of mine had this issue on technical preview after updating sound card drivers. In his case those noises were global. Try to run emulator as Windows 7 or see if there are updates to your device. Oh, by the way "Have you tried turning it off and on again? "

This.  It isn't that people are rude, it's that

a. Hardly anyone is going to be using Windows 10.  I don't because I don't need it.
b. Even if many people were - To have your drivers, configuration, hardware, and other setup is unlikely to happen.

There's virtually no chance of your problem being resolvable by others, outside of obvious suggestions.  Was there any reason you couldn't stick with Win 7 or 8?

Don't upgrade to win10. I did and now my PC is possessed by cyberDemon. It turns on by itself on 3:33 even if I disabled turning on due to updates and many other things. It watches me sleeping. That's creepy.

Only reason for Win10 is for DX12

[cmh175]

I made the upgrade, it's really not all that bad. The process was pretty smooth, most of the time necessary is just for the download. Everything is where it was before and still worked. Only thing worth knowing is you should deactivate certain programs like Maya/3ds Max and zBrush first, so they don't see the new OS as a new computer. Took me 5 mins to deactivate/reactivate them afterwards. Otherwise the only issue I've had is GTA V doesn't run so well, it crashes after awhile (I think it's the Rockstar Social Club, crappy DRM) all my other games work though. With the inclusion of DirectX 12 and fully supported games coming soon, support for XBOne wireless controller (after the adapter comes out), and the fact that it's a totally free upgrade there's really no reason not to. 

The privacy issues people are going on about are customizable, you can switch these things off. Ultimately it'll work about as well as Win7 with an interface somewhere between 7 and 8.

i've had no problems with windows 10 on my old Gateway GM5664 Desktop Computer and my HP 15-d072nr Notebook from a visual stand point, as for sound i fix it by setting my sound cards to 16-bit 44100 mhz setting.

Oh yeah, there is a mild sound issue when you first upgrade. You have to be patient during the upgrade, if you start clicking a lot or interrupting the install it can cause problems. So just leave it alone and let it do it's thing. When the upgrade is done and it boots to the desktop do a quick update install and restart the computer. When it first finished I didn't have audio, turns out it didn't see the hdmi for the sound. After I rebooted it worked fine.

[Maki]

I had no issues with sound.

[KnifeTheSky77]

I have a big audio interface that I use to route all audio to/from my computer. With win7 thru 10, I've noticed that when I put the computer to sleep, then wake it again, it sounds like windows shrinks the audio buffer size to the point where basic audio gets clipped. I resolve this by unplugging the interface and plugging it back in.

For the most part, I love Windows 10. It's one of the fastest and most stable operating systems I've ever used, and a lot of the features are really nice. Cortana can be a bit derpy, though.

It'd be one thing if she didn't understand me, but it's really frustrating that she knows exactly what I mean, claims to have done it, and fails. You'd think this kind of bug would be caught in QA.

[KnifeTheSky77]

Cortana is improving, but has nothing on Google Now. Bash in Windows 10 beta is surprisingly good though. Running Ubuntu inside a Windows cmd feels naughty. I could not work around a few deps to get Java installed yet unfortunately

I would have stuck with 7 on my older stationary computer. But leaving it idle while being away, it suddenly started to update haha. Surprisingly it went really well. And we're talking about a 5 year old computer with literally 100s of applications, and tons of files. The only issue I have now is with guitarpro 5. With 3rd party mididriver and soundfonts it lags when it's playing songs that are a tad bit complicated.

On my 8.1 laptop I decided to upgrade as I never really liked 8. It went well too, but I had to manually upgrade many drivers after. Which was a hassle.
