In the same boat. I’ve been casually keeping track and I feel it’s almost time for the plunge.
You could do a clean install after the upgrade. A totally clean install. I did it the day after release.
True, but a) that’s an unnecessary additional hoop to jump through and b) it would have meant running a .0 release which I generally avoid like the plague. Much happier waiting. Not for everyone, I know, and I’m glad you early adopters are out there to run into the bugs which I won’t have to see!
Goddamn Nvidia installer crashing again on the 3D Vision Driver. Not that I care, because lol nope, and the rest of it seems to work fine, but still. Fix your shit.
So any clues when fall update will appear? It didn’t release with today’s November patch Tuesday…

Word is Thursday now. Same day as Xbox One OS update.
I was frantically looking for the colored title bar option until I realized this wasn’t the promised update after all…
Anyone know how many gigamabytes this update is? I cannot find any mention of the download size anywhere…
The big update today will introduce ads into the Start menu. Please tell me there’s a way to disable/block this.

What? No. App suggestions have been there since the first day of release. And for the last three months you’ve been able to easily disable them by simply right-clicking one and choosing “turn off app suggestions”. The option has also been available in PC Settings the entire time even when the suggestions don’t show up.
I suggest you stop believing whatever web site told you that today’s update is introducing them.
My bad. I can’t recall the website but they certainly made it sound like a new feature.
Oh man, it sounds just real enough to be true, though.
Yeah, click bait loves Windows 10. “Oh Nos, the Windows 10 causes climate change, which top scientists say doesn’t exist.”
Update changed some of my privacy settings, FYI.
The privacy policy says they can do that. It’s under the part labeled, “Fuck you and your privacy.”

Microsoft, I should have expected to find you holding Apples leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought onboard. The more you tighten your grip, Microsoft, the more systems will slip through your fingers.
I’m slipping! I guess i’ll be a computer rebel or some such?

Aside: I applied for a job there right out of college. They offered me one, with a salary of $20K. IN SAN MATEO, CA. No longer worried about the job, I asked how their writers lived on that… “Well, most of them share this house…”

The new windows update helpfully re-enabled telemetry and a bunch of other privacy settings. After all, why would you turn them off? They’re anonymous, and Microsoft uses your data to improve Windows!
Miserable goatfuckers.
Anyway, remember to run Shutup10. Again.
Easier activation
Although we didn’t realize it at the time, the Win10 RTM “free” upgrade had to be installed in a specific sequence to keep your license intact. Those who clean installed Win10 from USB/CD frequently found out that their “free” upgrade resulted in a “not genuine” copy of Windows 10. Microsoft didn’t bother to explain the proper sequence until 100 million people or so had upgraded.
Yeah they did. The guy is a moron.
Moving on.
