The WIndows10 update from last Tuesday (Dec, 6) broke some wifi
devices. I had people calling in over the weekend with that issue.

They had to manually run ipconfig /renew to get online, as they were
connecting to the WIFI, but not requesting an IP address.

Mine is very quick, even a cold bootup is something like 10 seconds,
so your problem seems strange. I have a fairly new i7 laptop, but
still, 3 minutes to come out of hibernation isn’t normal.
The problem I’m having is that periodically processes will start
stalling, first thing to go is network connectivity, and then a
shutdown or restart requires using the power button. Mostly happens
when using WiFi on battery. I suspect it’s a driver, hardware or
application problem though, not Windows 10. I’ve applied all the BIOS
and driver updates from Dell though.

How much RAM do you have? My Win10 machines all have 16GB and run
smooth. It takes like 2GB just to run.

I wish I could go back. Maybe it's my machine, but it has become a
dog since the upgrade. It takes 3 minutes to come out of
hibernation and many times when I click the start button to launch
a program it doesn't even respond. Trying to sort a directory by
date seems like it has to reindex the entire drive before showing
me the files. It's only a laptop I use occasionally, but man it
has sucked so far.

Yup .. Microsoft is getting better … Win10 isn’t that bad at
all - it’s almost starting to become as reliable and solid as
Mac has been for years ;)

Windows 10 is turning out to be pretty solid. shut off
cortana and hope it stays off and don't install another
av, it seems rock solid. China probably pwns it, but at
least it's not Russia

I recently discovered that when I replace a clients
computer and the new hard drive isn't much better than
the old one, i can just move the old drive to the new
computer and boot it. Windows 10 will install all the
new drivers. Then all I have to do (if necessary) is
activate Windows 10 and viola. No more needing to
transfer all the clients data and settings because
they're already there.
Thank you,

holy cow. the old man has a cheap gateway laptop
from best bu thats a few years old. so of course
the hard drive is cheap. its a windows 8 machine
that went through the free upgrade.
i used the microsoft tool to make a windows 10
install usb
this has been the cleanest OS reinstall ive ever
done. its fairly elegant for keyboard only
install, like they knew the native drivers wouldnt
make cheap touchpads work, little to no tab
arrowing on base install, skip microsoft sign in
and it was already activated on the hardware ID, sweet
Now just updating drivers, painless stuff. Way to
go Microsoft
