That is generally a hardware problem. Bad memory or bad hard drive.

Thoroughly tested ram,hard drive using memtest86 50 runs and scanned hard drive/check smart nothing showed up after backup /format/reload fresh creators seems to be working .
The problem seems to stem from being upgraded and something going wrong during the process something to do with drivers and OS code changes what is really odd to fix some of them just turning off secure boot seems to fix it leading me to believe an issue with UEFI/bios settings.

No it is the opposite turning off secure boot the machine boot up fine the machines had secure boot on when they were upgraded it boots in a loop turn off secure boot then it works fine..
I did have to run boot repair then after it ran, tried boot repair with secure boot on had no effect.
 
CU's been okay for me so far as well for the most part. I've actually updated my primary systems to it already and that's something I've never done before with W10.

Not to jinx them, but I'm thinking MS is almost starting to get the hang of this updating business. *runs away*

I think the whole problem is the upgrade assistant it is buggy ,installing a fresh version of creators works fine something during the upgrade process using the assistant seem to cause problems.

All the systems that came in were upgraded using that tool it was sitting on their desktop.
 
Well if Microsoft follows there history of every other O/S version being better then we shouldn't have to worry about the next build if the creators update is the worst.
 
4K resolutions are busted today just as anything above 1024 was busted in Win95, and anything above 320 was busted in DOS. This is a thing, a lesson the industry never seems to learn, UIs are based on pixels, and when you ramp up the pixel counts somethings get REALLY SMALL.

You'd think by now everything would be based on vector graphics and scaled, but it isn't.

Have you had the joy of connecting a 4k laptop to a 2003 terminal server yet? That's fun!

As for creators, well I've had it install on a few units thus far with zero issues. The problems I have with it are personal preference, swapping out my command prompt options in the Win + X menu for powershell is annoying. Removing the control panel item from said list is like insulting the old lady before a bar fight. Time to update my brain again I guess.

I don't understand why Microsoft fails to learn after all these years. Most people DO NOT WANT their UI changed constantly for no reason. At least before people had a fighting chance because Windows 7 looked EXACTLY THE SAME in 2009 as it does today, and will in 2020. Windows 10? Every build they change things around for no reason whatsoever. They remove shortcuts, add new ones, shift things around, and reset the computer's settings to defaults. My poor clients don't know what the heck to do.

This is the exact same reason why I hate Android. Nothing looks or feels the same on any Android phone or tablet so every time you install an update or get a new phone you have to relearn the interface. And on top of that it's full of junk that no one wants. As much as I dislike Apple computers, I'll always us an iPhone. Screw Android.
 
To be honest, I really like Windows 10 as it applies to the end-user.

But agree that some of the UI decisions (and the continuing changes) have been puzzling.

A big irritant (for me) is not having quick access to the printers, e.g. Win 7's "Devices and Printers" on the Start button. For Win 10: right-mouse the Start button, then go to the Control Panel and then select Devices and Printers was a pain.

And now the Creator Edition has completely removed "Control Panel" from the right-button menu!

arrggh! :mad:
 
Type control into the search box and press enter... I'm annoyed about that one too but it's trivial to work around.

The one that annoys me is configurable, the swap from command prompt to powershell. I don't mind the latter, it runs the same stuff and more but it takes too darned long to launch.

Three machines in the field have upgraded that I've seen zero issues thus far. Unsure why someone would complain about UI changes, there have been none in the user accessed areas of the platform I've witnessed.
