Been very happy with W10, best release since XP (which ended up being the cockroach of OSs, just would not be killed off )
Most of the complaints seem to be from tinfoil hatted loons who think Microsoft are relentlessly stealing all your personal data (as well as your soul, probably) every time you turn your PC on, maaaaan.
I did that one Sunday. Just went through about 30 options and turned them all off.to be fair there is a lot of data tracking baked into 10, but there are lots of guides out there on turning things off if someone were so inclined
Windows 10 is great. Nowt wrong with it.
Being super user-friendly isn't what the majority of people want. It's simple enough for 90% of the general user.
Just disable the playback device in sounds or device manager.I had it every single day. I don’t have a different soundcard, I use my GPU through HDMI for my sound, 10 is too stupid to realise that GPU sound doesn’t automatically disable onboard sound so keeps downloading the driver for it.

If you set anything else as the default, surely it doesn't matter if the machine downloads the drivers?
Nowt wrong with it my arse. You tell me how to stop it downloading Realtek audio drivers automatically, I don’t want or need them as I use audio through my GPU which already has the drivers installed. They then conflict. Load of bollocks.
I beta tested 10 from day one to official release and hated it. Still do.
disable audio in the BIOS, the OS won't even see it. you can go ahead disable anything else you don't need while you're in there too, just to help things running smoothly.

I've never had that problem, and I use a different sound card.

Tried it, multiple times.
Audio drivers will conflict and can cause BSODs as well as other irritating glitches.

I don’t need to disable anything in the BIOS, and things run as smooth as silk. I’ve got a £3k rig that I maintain religiously. The problem is Windows 10. Ultimately I’ll have to use it but I’ll go to 8.1 with Start8 first and delay it as long as possible.
OK.
Sorry I suggested anything, you've got it under control.
Lol.
