Beware the new Widows update. Windows just updated the laptop and it took me three manual restarts to get back to the desktop I use. Apparently since I don't login to a Windows account to use my PC's the update was confused. The first error I kept getting noted it couldn't sign in to my account. I guess I have one but I never use it to login on any of my PC's.

You should create an account and logon to it when you start your computer. It's better than no security at all.

I use Linux!

I have messed around with it a little on an older laptop but again, gaming is not well supported so I didn't put a lot of time into using it.

@Mark013 Chess and Spider Solitaire are my two main games and I am fine with what I have.

I have blessedly had Android for about 8 years now, there is not enough money in the world to entice me back to Windows!!!!!

My install went without a hitch but then again since I've been around computers since Dos 4.0 was out and the Apple Lisa was all the rage I guess that makes a difference.

Me too. I recall first hard drive I installed, actually a hard card with a whole 2Mb of disk space.

The issue for me, it stated it couldn't login to my account. I hit okay and went back to the login screen and got the same message, a loop. Had to restart and was then taken to a generic screen with none of my normal desktop items and Edge opened and welcomed me, I don't use that either. Next restart took me to my normal desktop with all my stuff.

@Mark013 oh yes the proverbial ghost in the machine.😣 Enough to piss off the Pope 🙄

Only as a last resort for me. Been building PC's for many years.

@Mark013 me too but sometimes you have to bite the bullet

For years, when I started my laptop, I got an annoying pop-up: "Login to your Windows account." I didn't have a Windows account.

Fed up, I chose "Add or Delete Programs" and deleted the program. It worked.

Thanks for that. I try not to do those updates unless I really have to for the reason you just described.
