Our home just gained a shiny new HP laptop, which was immediately upgraded to Windows 10.
Much of the last tweny-four hours has been consumed by two tasks: making it print to an HP printer networked to our router, and moving email from Windows Live Mail on an XP box to the same program on the W10 machine.
If I run into a Linux problem (or even Android) I can usually visit a forum or other resource and get an answer in a few minutes. With Windows I'm Googling madly and chasing many more dead ends than useful answers.
And yes, that not surprisingly includes Microsoft's own sites.
So Soylentils, what are your go-to places for good-quality Windows 10 information?

This has always been the case: resources for computer problems suck.
Fixed that for you. ALL platforms follow this model.
You also forgot poster "I am seeing this issue too." And that is the *only* reply.
The ones that kill me are the 'how do I x' and someone shows how to do it for an irrelevant OS. Or the obligatory 'install this other OS' of which this thread is full of :( Oh yeah I am going to spend 2-3 hours installing something else then spend hours redoing my work flow because you have some irrational idea that an OS does something special other than LAUNCH other programs...

if all the OS did was launch programs why would you have to redo your workflow if you changed OS?
