Again, valid comments. But I'm just saying that although the first few days with each device I personally WAS affected by some, not all, of the various issues documented. But now it's been a few weeks and various OS updates and firmware updates have been applied and now I just use the devices with nary a glitch. Keep in mind I have admittedly tweaked the SP4 with various settings changes (power plan, host file, manual display driver install....) and that could mean I am ahead of the average consumer curve. And having said that, I do think it is a drag that you have to know so much about the SP4 to get it running well. I suspect most folks that walk out of the store with their sweet new package are less likely to make the efforts that many of us have.
The 950XL has been far less effort. It simply needed a hard reset and fresh config without restoring from a backup. Since build 10586.29(?) it's been smooth sailing for me. (YouMail for VVM since Dual Sim is an issue there)
Yeah, I'm not that tech savvy, :grin:! I can tweak the registry, but only with very clear and specific instructions; I'd never go in there without proper direction.
I just want reliable, high-quality products and both of these have let me down. My buddy that's all Apple never seems to have
any issues or complaints, and he does heavy-duty video editing, ditto for most of my coworkers who use Macs and iPhones almost exclusively.
Speaking of reliability, Windows 7 had a weird taskbar problem where the icon "highlight" effect would get stuck for some reason. It happened all the time on my old computer and it would drive me crazy. It only took a shift+right click on the taskbar to correct it, albeit temporarily; it would come back again in a few minutes. Microsoft never fixed the issue, and guess what? It's still here in Windows 10! If this truly is the "best Windows ever" they should just scrap it and start over again, LOL!
