Win10 official version of the upgrade encountered problems without fear 20 strokes to help you get it

After a long wait, we finally ushered in the launch of Windows 10. Only Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users can upgrade for free from July 29.

However, no software can be solved to solve all problems. At the same time, the upgrade itself can cause other problems. Thanks to the Windows Insider program, many issues were discovered and resolved before they were officially launched.

This article lists the 20 most common questions that readers can quickly review. In the unlikely event of a similar problem, you may wish to refer to the solution presented in this article. All of these issues are based on a technical preview, some of which may have been fixed in the official release.

1. Not all Windows users can upgrade

System updates will take a step-by-step approach. Therefore, not everyone can upgrade on July 29th. The first batch of upgrades will be for Windows Opener participants, followed by users running the following versions: Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 (2919355) or Windows 7 installed in Windows 8.1? SP1.

2. System Requirements

If the user does not want to encounter any problems during the upgrade, please make sure that the device meets the minimum configuration requirements announced by Microsoft.

1. CPU with clock frequency of 1GHz or above;

2. 1GB memory (32 bit) or 2GB memory (64 bit);

3. 16GB hard disk space ;

4. Support DirectX 9 graphics card and WDDM driver;

5. Microsoft account and network connection.

3. Difficulties in the activation process

In the technical preview, some users have experienced activation problems after the upgrade. On July 3, Microsoft said that it was "testing the activation process" and "hope that the problem can be solved quickly". This defect should be properly resolved before it is officially launched.

4. Force receiving update files and installing

Windows 10 no longer gives users any choice in system updates, but forces receiving and installing update files. To some extent, system security can be improved, but the user's PC or mobile device will therefore open the door to any file from Microsoft, including some potentially unpopular files.

5. System crashes caused by forced installation updates

Another problem with forced installation updates is that the system may crash. Restarting may solve the problem. Of course, users can uninstall some of the issues that caused the problem.

6. Software conflicts caused by forced updates

Forced updates are by far the most controversial part of Windows 10. These updates from Microsoft may conflict with an update management software from a third party, third-party software can be terminated, and Microsoft updates are not. This will undoubtedly affect the software of some companies.

7. Wi-Fi Password Sharing

Windows 10 introduced a feature called "Wi-Fi Sense", which first appeared on Windows Phone 8.1. This feature allows users to share Wi-Fi network access with their contacts on Facebook, Skype, and Outlook. This feature now automatically shares the user's password with any contact, including some unwelcome people. Users can disable this feature by tapping Wi-Fi > Network Settings > Manage Wi-Fi Settings and then clearing all check boxes.

8. The printer cannot respond

If your printer does not respond after the update, reinstall the printer driver. To ensure that the printer will still run after the upgrade, the user may need to update the driver to the latest version before the system is upgraded.

9. Adapting to a new browser

In Windows 10, Microsoft introduced a new browser, Microsoft Edge. The browser includes a button called “home” that the user can add to the toolbar or remove. Click this button and the browser will open the website selected by the user.

10. Finding Favorites

The Edge Browser does not automatically load favorite data from IE. Users need to sync via the “Import Favorites” function.

11. Email does not work?

Windows Mail in Windows 8.1 is very popular among users, where users can create folders and subfolders. However, it has been found that applications in Windows 10 do not support these features. Users with this problem can switch to Thunderbird, which runs on Windows 10.

12. The strange Chrome browser

The performance of the Chrome browser in Windows 10 is very weird. Perhaps this is a deliberate phenomenon caused by Microsoft to attract users to the Edge. Users will find that the Chrome browser has a lot of problems when using the YouTube service. If you must use Chrome, try to reduce the number of plugins that are open.

13. Users may need to reinstall Chrome

Some users have found that Chrome will crash and restart will not solve the problem. The solution can only be to uninstall and then reinstall.

14. An endless stream of pop-ups

Microsoft Edge browsers seem to like pop-up ads very much. Users need to open <;Internet Options" (Internet Options), in the “Privacy” (Privacy) column under the “Privacy” (Privacy) checkbox "Turn On Pop-Up Blocker" Window) to prevent pop-ups from appearing. At the same time, users can also check "Disable Toolbars and extensions when InPrivate browsing starts." in the "InPrivate" column (forbidden toolbars and plugins when entering private browsing mode).

15. Unable to stream music when Edge is in a minimized state

Edge is a generic application, so you can't execute any instructions when it's minimized. If it is minimized while streaming music, it will undoubtedly cause problems for users. There is no solution for this, and if the user needs to use the device for other functions, they need to find another source of the stream.

16. Edge browser conflicts with AMD graphics card

If the user's device is equipped with a graphics card from AMD, the Edge browser may crash frequently. I hope this issue has been fixed in the official version.

17. Make Choices Carefully

When upgrading to Windows 10, a pop-up settings window will suggest users to take advantage of the new Photo, Movie, TV and Edge browser apps. If the user agrees to these options without thinking, all default applications will be set to Microsoft's own products. The best solution is to take a close look at these options and make a choice that suits you.

18. Blue screen crash reappears

This "blue screen crash" phenomenon has rarely appeared. If the user unfortunately encounters this situation, the PC should be reset. In order to complete the reset, the user needs to search for “reinstall” in the search box of the start menu, then click “Remove everything and reinstall Windows.> (Remove everything and reinstall Windows).

19. Touch screen mode issues are still

According to some users who use Windows 10 Preview on mobile devices, the touch screen is not very smooth. For example, when trying to drag a window, their edges are not easy to grasp, and the size of the icon is not easy to manipulate by fingers. For these problems, users only have to improve their control level through practice.

20. It's free now, but not necessarily in the future

Windows 10 only offers a one-year free upgrade, which is well known. After that, the retail version is priced at $119. Therefore, don't delay your own upgrade plan indefinitely.
