Hi There! I keep a close look on my Reliability Monitor! I haven't had any errors in 14 days. When I do get a error, I report it to MS. IMHO this helps MS make W10 a better OS with updates and patches. My performance has gotten much better then it use to be, and my thoughts are that sending my errors to MS has helped make a difference. Any way that's what I believe and I'm going to keep sending the error reports to MS. What are your thoughts? Do you use this windows tool to help you keep your PC maintained and running. Might want to give your Reliability Monitor a look  and see what's going on with your PC.

You may only get the error one time and if that is the case, you don't need to worry about it. However if it persists, you might want to see why you're getting the error! Here's a IE error I got . It was a one time error and so I'm not concerned.

Can you beat my 14 day record of 0 errors?? Show me!

Hi There ! Please create a recovery drive and a system repair DVD! There may be a day where you will need them!

Welcome to the forum @Vadim Thanks for your post!

What did I do today? I helped two lovely seniors with W10 issues. One with internet problems and one with W10 update problems. Both in the same cottage.

One lap top and one tower. Both rigs were HP. I had a ball and I got hugs and I'm still smiling for what I was able to do for them.

The hugs were all I needed for my effort and my time!

What did you do today to make someones day a little brighter my friends?

PS A little country boy friendliness is what makes help forums grow.  It's not necessary what you know, but how you share it!

Wow! I'm totally amazed that no one here is excited about being able to do a in-place Upgrade without losing any thing other than Windows Updates.

This is some thing I have been waiting for from MS to provide for a very long time. I seem to be the only member here that is excited about this new option for W10. W10 has some other great options in their recovery mode; like reset and refresh, but this option is my favorite.

I personally use a 3rd party back up image like Macrium Reflect to protect me from any major problem.

I'm just a newbie and I know nothing about W10, but I love sharing what I do know and what I have learned from others!

Very Strange!

PS Wondering how many of you have created a recovery drive and a system repair DVD, in case you find yourself not able to boot into windows. I'm going to rest my brain now. I have done my best to make you aware of these things. That's all I can do!but I'll keep trying!

Hi There! Sense this is a Lounge thread, why can't it be a thread where you can post your thoughts. What ever is on your mind, as long as you are respectful to the forum and all the members and guests . Surely some of you new, and old members have some thing to say about this forum. You that are guests will have to register before you can post. I'm thinking it's a great help forum for W10 users and It will only get better. I'm going to try my best to make this forum grow. It's already great, but it will get better. Why not register and help!

Here's my thoughts tonight! I'm thinking that once MS gets all the bugs ironed out of W10, It's going to be a awesome  OS.

IMHO there will be very little need for malware fighters and help forums. This is 2016 and I'm expecting some big things to happen to the computer world in the next couple of years. I can already see where W10 is fixing problems that users use to have and really didn't know how to fix them. I have seen a big improvement already, and I'm betting W10 only gets better. What do you think?

A little off topic , but this is just a post in the Lounge! What are your thoughts? If you're a new member, here's a thread for you to sound off on!

Hi There! Is anyone watching the Olympics? What do you people do when you're not logged on here?

I'm a big fan!

Heya friend! You are never to late when you have some thing to add! I learned some thing about Linux tonight that I had never thought of. I use Unlocker myself. Good information about closing all programs before using Unlocker. I responded to this thread because a new member replied on it and I wanted them to feel welcome.

Teamwork is a good thing!

Wow I have never heard using Linux before to nuke a file. I agree unlocker is not rubbish. It's a great software! I also agree that you need to make sure the file is not necessary before you nuke it! Team work is a good thing! Thanks @gus ! Would have helped if we had known what file the OP was trying to delete!

PS We can only help members if they respond to our replies!

Hi @Serrena Welcome to the forum. Not sure where you're going with your post?Yes some programs share DLL files and as mentioned by @ShockerSH you may not be able to delete them for your own good! sfc /scannow is a good way to check your system files for any violations!

On 6/1/2016 at 3:47 PM, ShockerSH said:

Well, depending if the file is a system file or not, yes, it can be hard to delete some files (possibly for your own good).

Hi !  Surely there has to be some thing that you all would like to comment on here on the forum. What do you think about your privacy that you have with Windows 10?

I hear that there are a lot of PC users that think they have to give up a lot of their privacy when they upgrade to W10. A lot of complainers and Geeks trying to figure out how to keep all this information from MS. 

Here are my thoughts sports fans! If all this information MS is getting will protect myself; and my loved ones from some idiot that will strap on a bomb, and kill and injure a bunch of innocent people, then I'm going to leave all my W10 settings to default. I have nothing to hide. The internet has become a cesspool for terrorists and those that want to destroy my country. I have never seen any thing like what's happening in my 78 years. There is so much hate and violence. It's a sad time and IMHO it will only get worse until we wake up, and love each other and realize that we all may have our different ways, but love will conquer all the evil if we stop  hating  those that are different from us! That won't be easy to do, but we have to try!

Hi There! Here's the way I do A Repair Install of Windows 10 with a In-place Upgrade!

First I created a Media Creation Tool flash drive. I prefer a PNY flash drive. I recommend at least 8GB.

The MCT now contains the Anniversary update. (That is my understanding)  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

Connect and open the USB flash drive, and run the setup.exe file to start Windows 10 Setup. (see screenshot below)

Follow the set up Wizard!

If you have a better way or can explain this better, please post here !

Before you get started doing a repair install of Windows 10, be sure that you temporarily disable secure boot in your UEFI firmware settings. Once installation has finished, you can enable Secure Boot again if you like.
 

• System Protection will be reset to the default of being turned off. It is recommended to turn on system restore after the repair install has finished to have restore points.
• You will lose any custom fonts.
• You will lose any customized system icons.
• You may need to re-establish your Wi-Fi connection.
• You will need to redo Windows updates subsequent to the build you have used for the repair install.
• Windows.old will be created.
• You will need to redo any language downloads including the display language if you changed that.

Hi There! Has anyone tried a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

  You can do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything other than all installed Windows Updates!

I would really like to see a blog on how to perform this W10 option by one of our blog writers here on the forum.

Thanks!

PS I tried it once a long time ago and only had to reinstall two Apps and Windows Updates! It seemed to act like the first time I upgraded to W10.

Heya! Here's a update on my Reliability Monitor. I seem to be doing much better with my Computer performance. My thinking is that MS is doing a great job with the W10 Updates and that's helping. What do think think?? I think that W10 will be the best OS that MS ever built! I'm a big fan of W10 at this moment. That may change in the future. LMAO. You don't have to use Reliability Monitor; but IMHO, you're missing out on a great MS tool! Heya  @Steve K.

Would really like to hear your comments!

Heya ! @adacosta I suggested the MCT in my post. I hope it's not to late for the poster! I hoping also that the poster was able to get the free W10 upgrade.

PS Thanks for all your blogs. I used them in my response. I read everyone of them. Team work is good IMHO!

What is the make and model of the laptop?

Hi See the first line in my post! There haven't been any responses from the poster! Maybe they got it solved! I gave them several suggestions that @adacosta wrote in a blog!

HI @hex40 Just wanted to confirm. You solved your issue with the "METERED CONNECTION"! Is that statement correct?

Windows Home doesn't have that option. I think you have it figured out my friend! Nice post!

Hi! I didn't miss any Windows updates. I run W10 Home and Windows updates are automatic checked and updated every day!

Here's link by HTG that explains W10 updates and your options, which there aren't very many!

PS I have the Anniversary flash and that's what I'll probably use when I decide to Upgrade to the Anniversary addition!

There are a lot of places you can get the Key. You can get if with Speccy also! I like Speccy. Lots of good information and it is a very recommended and trusted site!

Thanks @Rich-M I know I've been there. That's where i got the 0X80070057 error! It went through a bunch of things. I think it failed during configuring or some where around there. Don't remember for sure Just remember it failed and I haven't tried it again!

The easiest way to do the Anniversary Update is go into PC Settings, Windows Update and then click on "Learn More" and that will

lead you to the download for Anniversary Update.

Hi @Rich-M I tried the "Learn More" and got a error 0X80070057.

I used the Get Windows 10 online feature which @adacosta wrote about in his article:

Hi @Brian Burgess That's where I created my flash. Did you use the ISO file or just click the Update Now??

Heya @Rich-M great suggestion about the browser. The poster might try a different browser and see what happens. My chose would be Firefox!

Poster is getting some good suggestions. Team work is a good thing IMHO.

Hi @Brian Burgess I have the Anniversary Update on a flash. I haven't seen it in Windows Updates yet.

Do you recommend using the flash or waiting for the Windows Update!
