Big Windows 10 patch breaks Windows
Let's see here. Logitech Gaming Software won't run. At all. Trying to launch Elsword reboots the computer. I've tried several times, with the same results every time. Trove does load, then crashes within seconds. Even LibreOffice is unable to load files, so it's presumably not a GPU problem.
But hey, Microsoft added their priority stuff. Now you get desktop ads for Office. The search bar that used to search for files on your computer now opens a browser and does a random Bing search. So does trying to launch a troubleshooter in Control Panel.
It's getting late tonight, but tomorrow, I'll probably try to revert to an earlier build. I sure hope this doesn't turn into having to reformat and reinstall everything.

Logitech Gaming Software is not even close to as big a pile of junk as Razer Synapse, no way man.
As for win 10 ...what do you expect from an OS that wants to spam you with ads....lol
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
But I agree the lack of Win10 drivers for the F710 forcing the use of the xbox driver which makes it a pain as the base mappings are not the same is frustrating... be glad when I can order a Steam Controller in AU

Myself I've had nothing but smooth sailing with W10. But I also have Cortana and search turned off so I don't have an issue with ads or any such shit like that. That would suck big time. I use a Naga mouse but never install any software for it. No need to, it works fine out of the box. Totally useless junk to slow down a gaming computer that software is.
Good luck @Quizzical!

I use Sharkoon Fireglider and software works as good as it ever did (without any problems)
Didnt get any office ads also.
Few things to mention though, first check for update to LGS. I've updated mine not two weeks ago and it works without issues. Secondly download O&O ShutUp10 and it'll offer you a lot of options in one place to disable most of annoying features Win10 does, like that bing search and the rest. Even though you can disable most of these annoyances in Win settings, SU10 will have it in one place at a few clicks of a mouse.
However I'd bet you are trying to stay on top of the new tech, so have fun with that. Me, I'm just a plodder and a non-professional. None of the new features of Win 10 really interest me (touchscreen - bah, I have one tablet and it's android, Cortana - no thanks, synching - don't need it, Cloud - I don't get all the hype when storage is so cheap, Metro Interface - I'm a big screen PC user and I actually like my desktop icons/themes/Aero/etc., and so on.). I will take another look at Win10 just before my chance for a free upgrade runs out. But I'm actually seriously considering sticking with Win7 until I get a new computer. And seeing as my current 2 1/2 year old machine still has the power of almost three new generation consoles - and all the games these days are console ports anyway - that next re-evaluation of Win10 might be a while.
Note - anyone looking to block the Win10 upgrade spam, the forced download, and the possible upcoming actual forced upgrade should take a look at this cute little tool.
If the Logitech software were the only problem, I wouldn't blame it on Windows. But most of the programs I've tried that worked fine before don't work now. Elsword rebooting the computer is a particularly nasty one.

I'd been having way too many stability problems with this computer: it crashes more in an average week than my previous one did in an average year. It's possible that something got messed up early on when my memory settings weren't entirely stable.
I'm not sure that the Windows 10 reset did as clean of a reinstall as I intended. With the first install, it wasn't able to find an ethernet driver, though this time, it did--though it could plausibly have found them on the USB drive I had plugged in. And it also managed to install AMD video drivers on its own, though it's plausible that it could have done that after it was able to get online.
I do now have the Logitech Gaming Software running on the new 1511 patch. Now I just need to reinstall everything else.

Was Windows not working prior to the patch?
If you answered 'no' then... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Just because they push a patch today doesn't mean one must install it today. In fact, if you wait, you will undoubtedly get a patch to fix said patch... which means this... nobody should be installing any of this stuff for at least a week or two past release.

So, do you think Microsoft is responsible for releasing drivers patches for other companies things?
If they don't work then turn to Logitech & Elsword for fixes, not Microsoft's responsibility.
Also the patch is working just fine for me.
Been using WIndows 10 since the start of the year with the insider previews, recently, i got annoyed how it kept completely reinstalling windows everytime there was a new insider build and it would break logitech and razer software, so i did a full fresh install of windows 10 professional and since then everything has been smooth sailing... no more preview builds installing every other day and breaking shit etc...
windows 10 is a fantastic operating system, i think i had the office 365 add, but it was in my action center not actually on my desktop, but yeah... basically if you're using a windows insider build you need to reinstall logitech / razer software everytime it installs a new build... it doesn't just upgrade your previous build it installs a completely new version of windows 10 and messes with a lot of stuff....
if you can upgade to non insider retail build... it's much better.
