Users Criticize Microsoft for Windows 10 TH2 Bugs: Thank God They Don't Build Airplanes

[Batu69]

Some can't even install the latest update

Microsoft launched 10 Threshold 2 earlier this month as the first major update for Windows 10 and encouraged everyone to get it as soon as possible because it brings so many great improvements.

Needless to say, millions of Windows 10 users have rushed to download and install Threshold 2, but in some cases, the process failed to complete because of errors that are impossible to diagnose by regular users.

So it's not surprising at all that some of them took to Microsoft's forums to express their frustration, especially after spending hours trying to download Threshold 2 only to be left with a freezing bug that appears at different moments during the install.

Some no longer want TH2

Some of the users who posted in a thread on Microsoft's Community forums where Windows 10 adopters try to find a way to get around a freezing bug claim they no longer want Threshold 2 at all because of these issues.

“I'm not going to screw around with this anymore until Microsoft cares to figure out what is going on. If not, I'll stay on it forever until I throw the machine away. I'm tempted to go buy an Apple next time as I'm really sick and tired of all this Microsoft BS,” user DavidSass posted.

Others, on the other hand, were disappointed not necessarily with the fact that the update failed to install, but with the company's support services, which were not only unable to resolve his problems but also asked for a fee in return for being transferred to more advanced engineers.

“After 5 Microsoft techs and 12 hours I've had it with Microsoft support. The last tech asked me to PAY for a higher tier of service to continue work on the issue. I DON'T THINK SO. All windows update issues should be covered at no cost. Period. At this point i'm doubting the ability of Microsoft to support their own product,” cwbytruckers explained.

Fortunately, there are also people who always see the glass half full and try to actually make fun of this bug hunt, despite the fact that they're impacted too.

“Would anybody fly in an airplane, made by Microsoft? I don't think so. Thank God, airplanes are built by sane people,” Vladas Mazelis said.

In the end, harsh remarks usually fade away after a while, but these problems seem to remain, so Microsoft needs to look into them fast and provide users with a solution because we're pretty sure that such criticism isn't exactly what the Windows team expected for Threshold 2.

Better never use this worse OS ever... Or you're flying already? :lol:

[Kalju]

Every Windows upgrade is like the plague, which has needed to treat for centuries.

I believe these MS 'hiccups, all have to do with licensing and product activation, or the lack, thereof. If Micro$oft states the OS is, in fact, FREE; then they need to ensure that the product is 100% installable/upgradeable/updateable before releasing it. Do NOT require a Product Key; where most of us will run into myriads of problems. Keep EVERYONE on the same build/release and they won't have these issues. Keep It Simple Stupid applies here.

This has always been a problem with micros0ft. They try to build better things but ends up building things accompanied by craps.

Ok, an OS is very very complex thing. So it is expected to be some bugs there when it comes to the real world application with different set of hardwares. This kind of excuse is only acceptable for an individual developer a mini organisation. But in context of a giant organisation like micros0ft,they can't give that excuse because they can have enough people to thoroughly develop and test every single bit of the OS. This is very loose and fragile approach from micros0ft towards their world renowned Windows OS.

Why not that Softpedia moron make better (100% bug free) OS than M$? This ain't any kind of tech journalism, rather expressing his personal likeness.

Personally I prefer guns over computers. When I make a 'comment' I don't get any dumb replies. (That may be why I have 73 guns and only 21 computers.)

I have said it before and will reiterate it for those that didn't see it....Windows 10 is beta software. It has to be, no company, not even Microcrap, would release the worst OS in the history of computing on so many people. This even makes Windows Me look good, and even Microsoft admitted it was crap. And the there was Microsoft BOB, which compared to the current Windows desktop was a dream to navigate but again was a failure.

Microsoft ought to allow users to rollback their system any time in this first year, not just 30 days after installing it. I have plenty of licenses for 7 and 8.1 to last me the rest of my lifetime so I will never see Windows 10.

Interesting to note that in the SANS newsletter there is an article about Orly Airport in Paris having to close down a while back because the ground maneuvering safety system computer failed. The interesting part is it is running Windows 3.1. And the article goes on to state that a lot of the safety software for aircraft are running old versions of windows because it works well, the problem is the hardware is failing.

My windows 98 SE and XP boxes still run fine and properly always will because i never turn them on . The problem with them is they may would work good for some types of business other than being a security risk . They won't work good for what I like too do, due too there old processors and being x86 . You can't turn straw into gold . My x64 Linux Mint 17.3 beta or my x64 Windows 8.1 can run circles around these old teach computers . Its not always about the software you put in them . Any computer older then 10 years is accent compared to today’s standards. Sooner or latter shit gets old and you need to replace it. :P

By the way i fully agree with you about Windows 10 it will always be beta it seems If they never make a windows 11 they will always update you to unstable releases of Windows 10 . ( At lest tell you’re free upgrade runs out and they want you to buy it . ) The reason Windows were as stable as it was before is after a while they stop adding new features after they got it stable. but this don’t seem be the case with this O/S.

i can remember very good how "well" windows 3.1x was running. -_-

every other os (os/2 unix linux amiga os.... whatever) was miles better than this... it was almost useless.

I remember Apple 2 and Commodore 64 back in the 80s early 90s . But Windows I never messed with it tell Windows 98 came out and the internet started being everywhere . Mostly only rich people or business bought PCs before the internet became poplar . Most Middle class and poor people didn’t come on the net tell the early 2000s I bought my 1st new PC in early 2001 Windows Me it was so crappy before the year was out I had replaced it with XP most everyone was still using Windows 98 then.

It was not tell 2005 the internet got its 1st Billion users Now there are over 3.2 Billion

I've got 3 pcs running on windows 10 and all are working just fine. Even with TH2. People are retarded, it's probably some simple issue which can't be resolved neither because user's stupidity or ms support's stupidity.

[geeteam]

As I speak now the MS Community page is undergoing maintenance, probably clearing all those uncomfortable comments.

So If you install Windows 10 and you’re vendor don’t even support new drivers for a pc that came with windows 7 or 8 and it ends up frying hardware because update changes are too great for it its the users fault? Its Microsoft fault for giving this beta crap away free to began with . If they would just charged for it no one would have had these issues unless they pirate it because most people would had waited tell updates ran out on there old O/S to upgrade.

Its just like Ubuntu Linux they updated the kernel before AMD updated there drivers for the Kernel . If you try to install AMD drivers in it.. it blow up you’re install . Its free and it has a newer Kernel than Linux Mint but because of bugs I still use Linux Mint because it uses a kernel that is stable with my drivers.

Same as computer vendors and driver vendors keeps telling people to downgrade to win 7 and 8.1 because they push out something before its time.

[Karlston]

And they ask us to trust them. :rolleyes:

And they tell us forced updates are good for us. :rolleyes:

At least they've got a good sense of humour.

[pc71520]

Still the vast majority of users

prefer Windows over OS X, Linux etc.

I remember Apple 2 and Commodore 64 back in the 80s early 90s

The really good old days. I had a Commodore 64 and 128. The GEOS desktop was the first true gui. Use to convert programs from IBM Basic to Commodore Basic so I could run the ones I liked. Spent hours rewriting them.

First Windows was 1.03. Still have the install disk somewhere. Loved Windows 3.1. Could get more out of it than any other OS at the time because you could load high drivers to free up the 640k that Bill Gates thought would always be enough but never was. And by fine tuning the Win ini and Sys.ini files the system could really be tweaked. That was the first system that you could run 4 hard drives on with the use of an add-in card from Seagate or Acculogic that allowed the programming of the Secondary IDE port and then a software package called 4 Drives that allowed the system to see the 2 extra drives. I built a monster of a system, 486DX2-66, 4MB ram, Hercules video card with 8MB, 4 x 130MB Seagate Drives and a 17inch Monitor. And the total cost of the system was $5400.

MS trips themselves up over making product key activation a #1 priority, instead of consumers. They are reaping what they sow.

i'm using a laptop from 10 years ago, using a desktop from 5 years ago, and one with 3 years usage. All working like a charm. Maybe it's time to learn some basics about personal computing.

[zavana]

Ironman thank god too for not using it..​

[LeeSmithG]

This why M$ should release a touch screen and tablet operating system and a desktop system.

Never cross the platforms.

They should release a new operating system every five (5) years.

They should also upload a service pack to refresh and improve the operating system every six (6) months.

They are money motivated and have contempt for the end user.

You’re very lucky then is all i can say . Many people who have AMD are not so lucky stuck using old drivers because AMD no longer making drivers even for my pc i bought just a few years ago with win 8 in it .

I don’t need to learn nothing about basic computing . I got windows 10 to run before I had to use old beta drivers because the ones Microsoft gave me didn’t work right . I used Windows 10 from July tell Oct . I used it long enough to see there’s no reason to have it.

I took the very same pc and I boot Netrunner 17 Linux Off the main HD and I have Linux Mint 17.3 beta booting off my portable hard-drive . I have 2 O/S on one pc and I could put more O/S on it if wanted them You want to learn computing learn to install stuff via command line on Linux .Compile programs etc. I still have windows 8.1 on my new Dell but I don’t see no reason to mess up a new pc putting another O/S on it when It still has updates tell January 10, 2023. :P :lol:

[vibranium]

Forced updates is ALWAYS a bad idea. All the IT support people can tell you about M$ updates that tanked their company's machines.
