I've been running Win 10 on my laptop since August (updated from 8.1) and had very few problems with the original release. But be cautious with the November update to v 1511 build 10586 ('Threshold 2'), as that apparently 'broke' my CS6 Creative Suite installation, as well as several other unrelated programs, with repeated error messages about missing .dlls. I can only assume that the update replaces those particular system .dlls with updated versions that are incompatible with earlier applications.
Should you find yourself in that situation, the solution is one or both of the following:
(1) Copy older versions of both mscvr100.dll and mscvp100.dll from elsewhere into the appropriate folder for each of the affected programs in the Adobe suite so that the local versions are used instead - I found suitable versions in the Adobe Bridge folders, but these are widely used .dlls so you probably have numerous other copies elsewhere on your system.
(2) Install/reinstall/repair the VC++ Redistributable Package v2012 Update 4 (downloadable from Microsoft)
(3) Other people have also reported finding it necessary to repair the .NET framework, but that made no difference in my case.
One possible downside is that Win 10 updates are now mandatory and are downloaded and installed automatically, which has caused problems in a few cases. On the Home version you can't avoid them at all, on Win 10 Pro they can be delayed temporarily.
There has also been a lot of concern about the EULA and possible privacy infringements as a result of the increased telemetry in Win 10, although recent updates to both Win 8 and Win 7 have also attempted to introduce (much of) the same telemetry to those earlier versions. Superficially there's perhaps some merit in that argument, but at the moment it's hard to distinguish the fact from the internet hysteria, and whether you consider that an assault on your privacy or an attempt by MS to improve the operation of their software probably depends on your degree of paranoia and whether your glass is half full or half empty.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with Windows 10 issues.
Brand new computer, about one week old and came with Windows 10 Home. Did the November update first as well as some drivers and it is really screwed up! The CBS.log and DISM.log files show all sorts of errors, directories duplicated or not found, Warnings, damn .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0 errors, etc. I show 5 warnings in the DISM.log, but the CBS.log is riddled with issues.
I had the issue with x-rite's software as well but found it related to some 3rd party gamer sound stuff for Surround 7 or something they use. Got rid of that as well as the Norton AV trial it came with as their SONAR was buggering up the USB ports for their hardware. So it went too.
However, the issues with the November update still exist in the two log files mentioned. I didn't want to proceed further since I have perpetual license with Adobe (1 used and could not be deactivated on the older computer that crashed.) so I'm holding back installing stuff until it is clean in the logs.
I gave up and took it to a computer shop and they "supposedly" fixed it for $85, but the logs show errors and warnings still. They said to bring it back on Monday (Holiday closure.). They also said they got a bunch of them in since this November update as well.
When MS screws up an update, they really screw up. They did that with 8.0 to 8.1 on my old computer and it never did another update since that screwy update they issued in Summer of 2014. I would advise against their auto-update if at all possible.
Sidebar on Google Chrome it also installed. X-rite, when they were on Team Viewer trying to figure out why i1 Profiler wasn't working (and failed), mentioned Chrome had the worst color of any browser out there. My chief complaint was when I tried to download Firefox, Chrome sent me to other sites first with ads like "While we search, we thought you'd like to see Bit-Defender" as some sort of web ad. What the heck? Wonder how much Bit-Defender paid for that interruption search ad? Probably why so much ad and privacy stuff comes up in the setup of Windows of 10 too (Which I disabled but somehow MS doesn't listen and also issued an update to that too the past week.).
I should have left the old computer on Windows 7 it came with and never installed 8 which was a mess and finally took it down too when it "black screened" (You cannot get back into it and will need to do a fresh install which also wipes out your ability to deactivate any software prior too.). Sager computers warned me against moving to newer OS (8.0 then and onto 8.1) may not play nice with older hardware. Seems they were right, and I lost a $4,000 Sager notebook too.
So now I got a cheaper $3,000 brand new notebook that still doesn't work right. Yay!
