Windows 10 disaster

At what stage do you get the BSOD? Start up or during operation?

if you can get into desktop, download and run who crashed: http/www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will tell us what BSOD you getting and we can start fixing it. There is more than 1 type of bsod so we need to know its name

Copy/paste the summary in here and I see what I can do

Windows 10 is a disaster
Why I uninstalled W10 [professional] and reverted to W7. Which is my solution.

Important note, W10 has been built round the concept that we live our lives online. For those of us who do not wish to share everything we do with "the cloud" [if thats all it is?] simply forget W10. One day we will either have no other choice OR someone will wake up and we will be able to use a straightforward 'local' OS on our desktops.

During the couple of weeks I had W10 installed I did not find a single aspect which I can say is an improvement on W7.
I have found a number of aspects so dissapointing that I an going back to W7. Here are the worst:

1. Forced automatic updates, with encumbant self restart, which can really screw things [e.g. a lengthy download process] up. Without resorting to registry hacks [metering] impossible to stop.
2. Microsoft Edge browser, an integral part of 'Cortana' the only way to do a search as was available in the Start menu in W7. M Edge saves all ones searches, so system ones too, and does that in the cloud. For those of us who value our privacy and use a browser with a 'delete on exit' to prevent just that, this is not an option. Disconnecting Edge from Cortana is not straightforward, getting rid of Edge requires editing of System App files in Windows, not really something the normal user is waiting for.
3. Hibernate is disabled, Sleep is the only option. I have a mainboard which insists on having half the system in standby all the time [usb etc.] even after shut down so one only needs to sneeze in the same room and the system restarts, OK my problem but I used Hibernate in W7 which was the perfect answer. Once hibernated one can switch off the power and all the startup risks are gone [not to mention the power saving]. Restarting Hibernation is very involved [hiberfil.sys] and once it does work the Lock screen freezes and one can not get back in. It is possible to stop the Lockscreen but this requires windows edits again. Afer a [forced automatic] giant update, W10 insisted on, this no longer works, dispite the edits the Lock screen simply freezes forcing a restart. Eventually the freeze bug infected Sleep involving a complete restart every time.
4. I prefer a colourscheme which allows me to determine the colour of all the different elements in the windows environment, this has been removed completely. This means making up ones own *.theme file [edit an existing file and resave with a new name] this is time consuming and involved, not for the usual user. Obviously there are plenty of users who can live with the microsoft themes [which ALL have pictures but still the glaring white workspace] I can not.
5. Updates rehash the whole system. After that large [unwanted, was it anniversary?] update my printer contols were gone and my DVD drive was no longer recognised. This is really bad news, which normal user knows how to re-instate stuff via the BIOS? Most users stear clear of such critical systems. I was forced to implement an sfc repair routine in cmd [admin], again not for the normal user as one is forced to change all the permissions [not a routine thing with the normal user].
6. The W10 backup routine [File History] is so convoluted and involves the cloud [my backup is 90Gb!] also it wants to do a back up every hour, we are not all high flying businessmen. Also the mirror is not a real mirror but a W10 reset which involves reinstalling all ones programmes [now called Apps ha ha] Therfore one must revert to the W7 backup routine. Being aware of the changes which can be forced on us via the auto updates one has to allow for the fact that this too may dissapear....

All in all W10 was a bad trip [into the future?]. The fact that 'easy transfer' had been stripped out of W10 so all the preparations I made in W7 were for nothing should have been a warning of what I was in for.
Luckily I had decided to install the new [W10 ha ha] OS to a new SSD which meant I could leave the [good] old W7 on board. The dual OS choice I was left with was my saving as I could revert back to clean up the W10 mess without trouble. My 'good old' W7 was only 32 bit, also a reason for the step up [ha ha] to W10 64 bit. I could not order a 64 bit W7 version fast enough. I shall be expunging the whole W10 system and memory and will be installing the new W7 64 bit in its place so keeping my dual start up choice until the new W7 is all AOK and then remove the good old 32 bit version. With easy transfer I can take all my colour schemes with me too. Not to mention that my printer and my DVD drive will be all intact.
I will no longer have to wonder why my system suddenly slows down, due to either or both the forced auto update and/or the backup trains moving about in the background.
I suppose like so many Microsoft users I always took the easy way out and stuck to the mainstream. Now MS is beginning to force us into an ever expanding and complex operating system and online I shall seriously be looking at the alternatives. After all the tweaking I have been trying with this version Linux probably won't be such a challenge after all.

Well that's nice to know, thanks. Although I'm sure that 'Free Upgrades' [to W10] are now a thing of the past? I shall certainly be checking this out as soon as my W7 64 bit is installed.
