where's my hardware, windows 10?

[Easter Bunny]

i have a fujitsu e751 for work and i've been thoroughly enjoying windows 10 for about 3 weeks now... and then this week my mouse's back and forward buttons stopped responding (the old classic microsoft 5 button intellimouse - i hate other mice/mouses/meece). i lived with it for a day and then restarted. after restart everything was ok for 10 minutes and then the buttons stopped responding. i restarted again, but that didn't help. my back/forward functionality on my mouse seems to be gone forever now.

on wednesday my internal 3g modem disappeared shortly after i used it (i don't like to keep it connected, so i disconnect if i'm not going to need the internet right away). i flicked the wireless switch off and on, restarted, turned off and took the sim out, flicked the switch a few more times and refreshed device manager many times. even tried running the driver install again, but that didn't work.

also this week, itunes stopped playing through earphones. i updated it a few minutes ago, but it wants to restart and i don't feel like doing that now.

anyone else also having weird win10 experiences?

Must say - running Win 10 on a HP m6 and to date no problems at all. In fact its quite stable.

if you ignore my weird issues, then it's pretty stable. i haven't had any unexpected reboots, crashes, blue screens or hangs.

Maybe next time you'll install Ubuntu and unleash the true power and functionality of your hardware

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

ave you tried a clean re-install of the OS?

no can do. too many MS things needed.

this was a clean install. i feel like an OS upgrade is like getting into bed without showering.

I have to just point out - this image came to mind when I read the thread title.

I have had a bunch. One update broke the HID drivers so basically the mouse and keyboard stopped working, this included the onboard devices and any usb ones plugged in, the only thing that worked was the touchscreen on my laptop.
Ended up restoring an image backup from a few days before that because nothing worked in terms of fixes.
Now my wifi adapter is missing, its gone from device manager etc and it just wont come back no matter what I do with drivers.
Fortunately I used an ethernet cable otherwise I would be seriously pissed off. There are a bunch of annoying things win10 is doing so I have disabled updates through group policy and by disabling the service.

my laptop just froze while scrolling through a text file. rebooted (lost some unsaved sql queries) and when it eventually started up, mouse was working 100% and 3g modem was back...

hang on... i read somewhere windows 10 has a "fast boot", which could explain why a forced reboot after being frozen fixed the hardware issues compared to a normal reboot which did diddly-squat...

If you click restart it should do a normal system shut down and start-up. If you shut down only it will make dump what's currently running onto the HD/SSD so it can just read that and boot straight from it.

just read about it now. i did both a restart and shutdown, but neither worked. thank goodness the freeze came along and fixed everything. i would strongly recommend a system freeze to people with hardware issues.
