Oh I could use this thread.

My desktop just hangs on the startup screen forever.

Thanks for the response.

no problem, you get it updated? Could probably take it to the phone store and have them do it maybe

Nah I just keep getting rid of the nag screen. It's not a big deal; I just wonder if the update has happened in any shape or form or if I've not got any of it. Doesn't look all that different to be honest. I'm not bothered, but I would prefer if there was an option to ignore update or something.

I know the stereotype about Indians usually being computer customer support, but it seems to me that an individual is more likely to be a computer-person if they are Chinese, or even Russian, before Indian.

Does anyone know why search is such a ****ing pain on Windows 10 now? Time was, you could just type in the search bar (beside the start button) and it would search your PC. Now it goes directly to "web results", which I don't want and have not asked it to do, and which seems to be unalterable. I can type in the search bar of a specific folder, yes, but if I don't know where the file is and want to search the entire computer I have to go to the root drive and search there.

I can do that, but what then is the point of the search facility? "Type here to search"? Yeah, as long as you don't expect to find anything. Anyone else have this problem?
