Here's what's fixed, improved, and still broken in Windows 10 build 19546
Jackaluichi and 4 others reacted to sn0wf1ake1 for a topic
I wish Neowin had a block feature because all you can do is bitch and whine. You call yourself Oldguru but you sure seem like a clown at computers. If you were a guru you could figure out what was wrong and fix it, but instead you just post negative problems you face every day with Windows 10 without any solutions. Damn you suck.5 points -

Disable UAC for specific programs/apps; possible?
+hedleigh and 2 others reacted to goretsky for a topic
Hello, My guess is that the program is doing something which requires administrative permission. In this case, perhaps involving a driver or a service. In the distant past, I have used JoeWare's CreateProcessAsUser (CPAU) program to do this, but I do not know if that works under Windows 10. WindowsTenForums has a tutorial on how to use Scheduled Tasks to bypass the UAC prompt here. It is a bit of a lengthy/somewhat convoluted process. If you are going to do something like this, be sure to re-test it each time you update the application you are launching without UAC, as its behavior could change, and this could become problematic. Also, keep in mind that once you have allowed a program to run as an administrator, it can make global changes to the system, so be very cautious about what sorts of programs you give these permissions to, and keep an eye on things when you run them for unexpected behaviors/consequences. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky3 points -

matthiew and one other reacted to samw61 for a topic
This stuff isn't free. That's why people don't like it. But if they were sustainable from the start, it would have had very little impact on today's prices. Just like if Governments finally act on doing something about it now, it'll cost more now to act than if they did it 30 years ago. We have been "borrowing" for free the past 30 years, at the cost to the environment. All that we need to do is take the environmental cost into account, which is what being carbon neutral is all about. If we don't we'll be paying a higher price in the future to try and rectify issue we have ignored in the past.2 points -

SadJoker and one other reacted to n_K for a topic
It's easy to promise things to happen when you know you will be retired by the year you've promised it. The carbon footprint of every CD they've made, every case, every floppy disk, every book, all the plastic wrapping, all the fuel used by employees (including air travel) and shipping, all the power used by their data centers/servers/offices/labs, all the production of their hardware... Complete marketing gimmick.2 points -

BT partners with Google to offer free Stadia Premiere
forster reacted to ad47uk for a topic
Next level gaming on a hybrid fibre system using old copper cables that are falling apart, that will work well. Bt is only so large because they had the network for next to nothing in the first place and they now own the main network in the UK. BT, awful company, customer service is awful. i use plusnet, which yes is run by Bt, but run a lot better than BT broadband services. Still over the same hybrid system.1 point -

I wear quite a few hats at work being a small startup and all, and more than once I’ve helped our senior software architect out with PC and OS issues. He is just buying into the fallacy that all software developers are experts at everything dealing with a computer, which makes his claim that much more suspect.1 point -

NewGuy123 reacted to BoondockSaint for a topic
What a funny contrast between CDPR and a company like Bethesda... CDPR are willing to delay their biggest & most anticipated title to date by 5 months (not a small period of time), while Bethesda would rather ship a broken mess, than miss a marketing deadline. And then take even longer to fix it.1 point -

Bose is shrinking its retail store footprint quite significantly
Kravex reacted to shockz for a topic
No highs, no lows, must be bose. Their entry level stuff is okay, but their higher end models are certainly not worth the price, and use a lot of the same components the entry range has. Huge profit margins, and extremely mediocre with higher tier options and what you get for that price. As for retail, their sales reps are worse than a used car lot. High pressure, snake oil tactics.. any one who has experience in buying speakers more than a few times can tell you the same thing and for those simple facts, people avoid retail Bose stores or go third party/online.1 point -

Windows 7 Home to Windows 10 upgrade
Jazmac reacted to Brandon H for a topic
yes it should still work. the only thing that's been disabled is the free upgrade website; the ISO made from the creation tool should allow upgrade just fine and will convert the 7 key to a digital one. usually just choosing upgrade will work but if not just don't enter a key and it will detect the key in the BIOS or Registry and convert it after the install finishes. edit: though honestly a clean install is recommended for the smoothest experience after install; sometimes weird bloat/corruption remains after in place upgrade from older windows versions. It usually isn't an issue but a clean install will definitely be a bit smoother experience. You just need to backup any documents first1 point
