Lum posted:I'm seeing a lot of Win10 tablet/hybrid machines being sold with only 2GB RAM, such as the Asus Transformer Book series. Obviously depends what you're gonna use it for. I picked up a T100 and I haven't had any issues having 6-10 Chrome tabs, Vsphere Client (with two or three console views up), Visio and Skype running all at once. I'm pretty impressed, to be honest.

hooah posted:For some reason, every time I wake up my laptop, the Realtek HD Audio Manager icon shows up in my system tray. I don't use it much, so I hide it behind the ^. Any idea why it forces itself to show up when the laptop wakes? I just set it to not start in Task Manager's statup tab. It doesn't do poo poo other than give me notification that I plugged something in, so no great loss.

nielsm posted:Speaking of lock screen issues, my small tablet that was upgraded from 8.1 to 10, sometimes when I push the hardware Start button to bring it back from sleep, I just get a black screen. Backlight is clearly on, but nothing gets displayed. Windows also shows the little "touch trails" if I try to use the touchscreen. Yeah, I get this sometimes on my T100. Annoying, but it doesn't happen too often. My only other issue with W10 is that it doesn't like FreeNAS' SMB. I don't think it's ever shown up in Network. If I browse to \\server it works sometimes, but other times it'll just not find it. \\server.local seems to always work. I have no idea, it's probably just as much a FreeNAS\samba issue.

EoRaptor posted:Good troubleshooting They're both definitely set to 'WORKGROUP' but it just doesn't seem to appear in Network ever. Lately it's been responding to just its hostname fine so..knock on wood, I guess. I did notice its hostname was appended with .local (but NETBIOS was just the main hostname) so I changed that. I upgraded my desktop to Win10 last night. Went fine, everything seems to work (aside from one game needed DX9 reinstalled to stop causing access violations when launching). Also my Bluetooth dongle actually works in W10, I could never get it to connect to anything in 7, so that's a nice bonus.

Grog posted:Besides the UI changes (some of which are kind of annoying), it broke the ability for programs/drivers like DS4Windows and InputMapper to use their "exclusive" modes without workarounds that need to be done after every login. Apparently the same kind of thing happened with some of the preview and initial builds for 10 and it's an issue that Microsoft likely created accidentally. Other than that, haven't really done enough testing to notice anything else. Apparently the SCP DS3/4 drivers exclusive mode works, so at least there's an option there.

The 4GB won't be losing any real space.

There was an patch for Phantasy Star Online 2 that deleted a bunch of files (including stuff in System32) if you had the game installed to a non-default directory. They pulled it within an hour, but it hit over 20k people before they did. That was a fun one.

If you sign in with your MS account, settings can transfer, Onedrive can do your documents if you've set it up for that, MS Store stuff should go over too. Standard Windows apps though, lmao if you think that will ever happen.
