You're welcome. It seems like Windows 10 is a mixed bag at this point. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have recommended it so heavily if I would have known the full extent of what Microsoft was going to consider acceptable practice. None of this was a major concern when Windows 10 was in beta, and so I was more willing to endorse it at that point. Between the final beta and the release, though, Jesus Christ they sure did amp up the volume.
I haven't had the problem ever since I did what you suggested. Thanks for the help.
Yea it's terrible. Thanks for sharing the links! What else don't you like about it so far?

Not much else, really. Aside from what I mentioned, the OS is pretty solid and stable. They do need to work on Task Manager, though. There are some programs I run that even when you kill the process they don't go away. Windows has weakened that once very powerful asset somewhere. They need to put that back. Sometimes programs won't listen to "please quit" so you need Task Manager to kill it at the source.
I have had no real issues with it, does what it says on the tin, and i have that spybot anti-beacon thing that stops my paranoia going off the deep end. lol
But apart from that it all works fine and dandy.

Ah.
That sucks. What programs are running into that issue?
I agree. It comes in handy when programs sometimes freeze or run into other problems.
What about killing a process from the command line. Is it just as ineffective?

The one that caused the most problems was Battlefield: 1942, which ran perfectly fine on Windows 7, and did work fine on Windows 10 until the last update. I would try to kill the process from TaskMan and it simply ignored it entirely, and would freeze up TaskMan, which shouldn't ever happen.
I haven't tried it from the command line, so I'm not sure.
Dang. That's not good.
How do you kill a process in Command Prompt? Never had to do that before.

It's pretty easy, though I don't ever really do it because TaskMan usually takes care of it. Here's the whole process: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491009.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The long and short of it is you just run taskkill [parameters] and then it kills the process. I may try to run Battlefield:1942 again just to see if I that will work. What I do for you people in the name of knowledge!

Ah so basically you input the names of the processes you want to kill such as ituneshelper.exe as a part of the command itself?
Found an easier way... tested it out on Notepad via its PID and it works, via CMD. Woot.

Indeed. I still stand by my initial statement that Windows 10 is a solid OS. It needs some work, and I really wish they would tone it back on the privacy issues, as not everything needs to be integrated into everything else, but otherwise this is the most stable, most flexible, easily the most cross compatible OS that Microsoft has released since Windows XP SP2.
agreed - for home users and those who don't get the insider track upgrades it's been very stable. Neither my mum or mother-in-law have had any problems.
I think it's business users and perhaps the more technically minder who are a little peeved with certain elements that Microsoft should have sorted out before the release.
Ugh so many forced reboots through the power button of this POS. The Windows ID login can stall for ages and shutting down will happily lock up too unless manually done.
It freezes when certain tasks are running, like absolutely freezes, haven't had a computer do that in a long time, etc
Damn OS just likes to lock up entirely at random. Vista wasn't doing this kind of thing, not that frequently anyway.
