Not impressed!

Updated the laptop last night. Since then, log in seems to take a lot longer, upwards of 30 seconds after entering password. Also feels like loading chrome, running chrome seems slower than before!

After updating a conflict of video drivers for my 970 GTX, mine is smooth as butter just now...

Ah, turns out there was an update going on in the background which was hogging CPU resource!

A new reboot and it's running OK now!

[Zippeyrude]

It's pretty good

[BigBrand]

Anyone know how to reveal Edge saved passwords from the advances section?

It doesn't transfer to Chrome and i need to get into BT SPORT all !

[prezzy]

What is edge? is it just the new name for IE?

:edit: answered my own question by looking not anything I would ever use anyway ie is and always will be shit

[Over Carl]

Cain and Abel could find passwords from IE, never tried it with Edge.

My limited experience with edge is that it loads web pages faster but is missing some key features which I hope they will add later.

Funnily enough most website see edge as chrome lol

[prezzy]

edge is just new version of internet explorer or am I missing something?

[Hangman]

No IE is still there but hidden, edge has been completely redesigned without all the backwards compatibility crap.

Once you know where all the buttons and options are in Edge its working fine so far, seems super quick, and I can see webpages what else do you need

Must admit, hated it at first but it's growing on me. There are a few bugs but an update can't be far away.

My Edge always defaults back to full width of my monitor, even after I resize it the way you do with Chrome, FF, Safari - all of the other browsers. Hit X to close (once resized) and away it goes. Launch it again and it's back to full screen! Very annoying.

This is one thing I don't understand. Years ago, often text would load first normally correctly formatted, then pictures would slowly fill up their placeholders, but at least you could normally read the article from the moment the page started loading.

Now in the name of progress, pages start loading, stuff moves all over the screen for a couple of seconds until the browser has actually loaded everything and stopped messing around resizing everything. It seems like they have really overcomplicated what used to be a simple task as you can sometimes tell CPU is struggling to process a shitty simple webpage. The best are the poorly designed pages that seem to keep on resizing things as you scroll through the page. Strange how this is a modern problem we have created with "progress". Surely things should gradually get better rather than worse?

Why on earth do we need an i7 just to view a webpage, when we could view webpages just fine using stuff like 486's. Ok, maybe 486 is a bit of an exaggeration but I've viewed full screen flash on a Pentium MMX without problems back in the day, but my Xeon 3.2 (basically a C2Q 3.2) often struggles. Why on earth do we need so much more processor power to struggle to simple things that were done with ease by much lesser CPU's.

[piggzy]

Many, many reasons. To answer one . FLASH.

In the early days when it was owned and written by Macromedia it wasn't great but as you say it ran on pretty much any machine. Then Adobe came along.
Adobe turned flash which was already pretty much installed on every PC into a nasty piece of shitty bloatware that overheats PC's and uses up crazy amount of resources, both Memory & CPU.
This is the reason Apple refuse to allow it. (Mainly to do with battery life in that case).
More platforms are dropping it now though as HTML5 can do most of what flash can and without needing a super computer to do it.

similarly, why does it take a 10 meg connection to browse a fucking forum with ease when we used to do the same on 56k dail up? I'm sure dial up is probably slower than we remember, but going by today's bandwidth use, it would take us a month to load a page at 4kbps.

Windows 10 is spying on almost everything you do – here’s how to opt out

[lagigolo]

My stepdad has just updated and hes telling me from how hes describing it, the desktop looks all shifted over to the left. He can't see a start button and theres a black stripe down the side. Is the start button where it should be on windows 7? If so how would he get win10 to put desktop in correct position?

[Doctor Who]

Even when told not to, Windows 10 just can’t stop talking to Microsoft
