You are supposed to own it- it's not supposed to own you, spy on you, force installation of programs, block installation of programs and generally be owned by the company even tho you paid for it. Partially it's the stronger drive to a subscription model but mostly it's the spyware aspects of the new O/S.Ī tablet or phone can probably do the same shit and get away with it but the PC is a PC. Having been with windows since win 3.11 (and the amiga os before that), I can honestly say this time is different. I'm pretty sure you can have a Linux install that doesn't even *have* a live OS variant and still use a live disk from *any* vendor and `sudo update-grub` will still work. Jump in at the correct place or use the search as a jump-off point and add the words repair, uefi, and swap out Linux for your distro of choice. Google "dual boot Windows 10 and Linux" and you'll get step-by-step directions on the first page. This question is asked so often that I, someone who doesn't even have Windows installed on anything other than a phone, know the answer to it - or at least where to find the answer. If it *still* doesn't work then just edit the damned config file by hand, save it, and then run the update-grub command. On the off-chance that it doesn't then get a copy of boot-repair and that should do it. Disable fast boot in system settings (it's somewhere in there, I don't know where but the question gets asked every single day on the various forums) and then, if it still isn't showing grub, boot to a live disk and run `sudo update-grub` and it will figure it out on its own. It's being skipped because it's tied in with EUFI. Other reports mention CPU-Z, AMD's Catalyst Control Center, and CPUID as software that's being automatically uninstalled.


He says fixes have been rolled out for both TH2 and the antivirus software to prevent this from happening. There was no indication beforehand that something like this would happen, and what made this rather puzzling was the fact that a newly downloaded copy of Speccy would install and run fine on the upgraded system.Īn IT Director I know had this happen with ESET antivirus as well, on multiple computers. The affected PC had Speccy, a hardware information program, installed and Windows 10 notified me after the upgrade that the software had been removed from the system because of incompatibilities. I noticed the issue on one PC that I upgraded to Windows 10 Version 1511 but not on other machines. Ourlovecanlastforeve sends this report from Martin Brinkmann of gHacks: Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system may uninstall programs - desktop programs that is - from the computer after installation of the big Fall update that the company released earlier this month.
