Some of the symptoms described here so far, seem to be relatively mild. This latest windows 10 Feb 2018 update has screwed me up royal!!! The update has gone though windows 10 and changed various settings, which now affect PC's ability to connect to my domain
network. In computer properties, the computer is still described as being part of a domain, but when you try to reconnect the pc to a domain network, as you would when joining for the first time, there is no available options to re-join the domain network.
The network profile is stuck on private network.
I run Autodesk Vault Pro 2018 software on a server (running Server 2012 R2) and Autodesk Product Design Suite 2018 with network licensing and Vault Pro 2018 client, on workstations (running Windows 10 pro). The moment Windows 10 updated early Feb 2018, network
licensing stopped working, Data Management with Autodesk Vault Pro 2018 stopped working. So at the moment, I can't work!!!!
My CAD software vendor has been analysing the issue and has said that it could end costing me upwards of AU$1800, with no guarantees! This will cost me above and beyond my support contract as it is a Windows issue and not a problem with Autodesk software.
And, who's to say that if Microsoft decide to stuff things up again, I won't go through all this costly head ache next month, when a new update comes through.
On top of this, I'm running a CNC machine, which is controlled by MACH 3 control software. It has stopped working! Tried compatibility mode, still didn't work. I used the revert to a previous build of Windows 10 option (when this was available, option seems
to have disappeared), suddenly the MACH 3 software worked again. Amazing!!!
Annoying thing, Windows 10 force update installs. So each time I go back the CNC computer, I'd have to revert back to the previous windows build, in order to use the CNC machine again, as windows forced update install the night before. Only way I could stop
this, was by setting the network connection to "metered connection".
These are just 2 of my main, costly issues with windows 10. There are far more defects and annoyances with Windows 10.
Microsoft, please, please, please, stop shoving sh*t down our throats!!!
This way, I'm gonna have to figure out, how to send the bills for IT and CAD/CAM software support to Microsoft, until Microsoft gets their act together.
At this point, I feel that I've got no other choice, but to revert all my workstations back to Windows 7, which is far more reliable and stable.
I'd gladly pay for Windows 7.
I don't want Windows 10, not even for free!
