If you find success, please post here. I've had times where I thought I had it beat, only to eventually come in to work to see the lovely cave image and bite my lip as I realize that I had at least half a dozen projects, multiple spreadsheets, a few notepad windows as scratch areas, and at least one unsaved query in SSMS. The projects and spreadsheets are fine, but I hate to think how many 'notes' I have lost over the last year and a half with 10.
Win7 had me spoiled that way, now just have to get used to tidying up before leaving.
Luckily, in just a few hours, I'll be on vacation for a week...going on my first cruise with my wife, idiot brother in-law and his wife. Bon voyage! See you suckers in a week!

The pending updates on my Windows 10 computer did not get deployed overnight, so perhaps I have found a setting that works. The problem is that I don't know which approach is working, but more importantly, as you and other people out there have indicated, I don't know if this will last.
- I followed the steps in this article: How To Turn Off Automatic Updates In Windows 10 Via Registry[^] , but the UI in my Settings did not change to match the screen shots in that article.
- This one I cooked up on my own:
- Opened the Local Group Policy Editor (run gpedit.msc)
- Under
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Update - I opened
Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours - Set it to
Enabled - Set
Active Hours to start and end at the same time, 8 AM .
The comment in the window says "Note that the max active hours length is 12 hours from the Active Hours Start Time", so I don't know if the MS logic will ignore the End Time I configured, if it will interpret my settings as a 24 hour active day, if it will implode the universe or do something else.

Creators update feels a bit intrusive as it asks if it can display "relevant ads".
See : show relevant ads[^]
Also, one thing I've run into on my laptop with NVidia graphics is that my screen flickers and blurs like crazy. I've installed various drivers. Gone back to previous driver versions and many other things to no avail. It was flickering so bad at one point that the screen would go black for 20 seconds or so.
Quite terrible.
However, other than that, Win10 is okay for the most part. For an OS As A Service (OAAS), I guess.

Relevant ads...
At least it seems they can be disabled... I read that explorer was showing ads in some windows versions... I hope this is fake...

When you disable it, it says it will display "irrelevant" ads instead...

After reading that people complains for a myriad of things I'm happy to see that here it works well...
I was truly worried about the installation (activation problems, first upgrade, then reinstall...), but having received the USB with the Lenovo system recovery, it has been as easy as it could be.

It would be great if the start menu would appear on the display the mouse is at the moment you press the windows key, but having the bar in all the displays is a good thing. I have exactly that. Right-click -> Taskbar settings will get you there...

Hi, I've just navigated there but no setting seems to be useful to get the start menu opening in the right display...
It doesn't matter where the cursor or focus is, the start menu always gets opened at the first display when I press the Windows key...

ah, you're pressing the windows key. Yah, nothing for that, that I know of, sorry!. Just for displaying the windows button on each toolbar.

Time ago I used Actual Multiple Monitors in windows 7 and it worked like this and it is a joy...
Simply press windows key and then navigate the menu as you want (mouse, keyboard...), but it will open in your current display.
A pity it's not here...
Well, less is nothing...
Thank you!

Yeah, maybe it'll come back...

You want the menu to come up on the righthand monitor?
|
|
|
|
|
Not that exactly... I want the menu to appear in the display I have the focused window:
If I'm working on the middle display then I want the menu to appear there, if I am working in the third display I want the menu to appear there...

I see he has rabbit ears.
Does that mean he's pretending to be a bunny or camouflaged as an antique set-top TV Antenna ?

He is the Bunny who guards the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
In the film version he was killed, but that was just King Arthur's Spin Doctor making him look better.

So that's why he carrys around golf clubs in a quiver.

Don't you see that he's carrying a quiver with golf clubs on the back?

This week is Passover, today is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter Sunday. Bob is dressed up as an Easter Bunny, and there is what looks like a matzo (aka a communion wafer) under the T of PROJECT.
Did I get it right?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I think that is an Easter egg, same as in both the Os in Code and Project.

Those are feet of the Quisp[^] alien who has just jumped over Bob.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
