Another thing I love about Linux , not having to install drivers for printer, wifi card...like I had to with XP.

Today's adventure was personalizing my start up screen...
where the icon is above the password field.

I managed that one...whew

I guess there was an update last night.

Our printer works. and my Epson slide scanner works.
But I haven't tried the scanner in our printer HP combo.

Are you saying that the printer you have is a combo type, and the scanner part doesn't work on Win 10?

Yes, I have a Brother printer/scanner/fax. The printer worked fine, but I went to do a quick scan and it didn't do anything. I did a troubleshooting google and found out that I had to uninstall and then reinstall the Windows 8.1 driver for it after installing Windows 10 in order for it to work. Brother doesn't have a driver specifically for Windows 10 yet. It was really annoying. I had hoped to just do a quick scan to a merchant I was doing business with. There are a few other bugs I have noticed too. I am not a person who does well with change, even when the "new" thing is "supposed" to be better.

Microsoft Edge
 
I am also trying out the Microsoft Edge browser. Took me awhile to figure out where all my favorites went.

Not sure what is going on with the scanner of our HP printer combo. At first it wouldn't scan into my graphics ...
So we went thru the software of HP which is on this computer. It was recently updated.

It scanned there but I didn't finish. So I went back to the graphics program and it scanned thru it okay... so I still had the HP open... I wonder if that made it work?

We happened to have an appropriate photo to test... a cat who shreds printer output. LOL

Ended up going back to Win 8.1
 
Too many of my Apps didn't work with Win 10. When my password manager wouldn't work, that was the final straw and I switched back.

Well, I can understand that , going back to Win 8.1.

I received a MS download Tues night, and since then I cannot play the FB Angry Friends Birds. We reinstalled the latest Flash but it still won't work. (on FireFox).:mad:

Doesn't work on Edge either. Nothing on the net about it.

You know, there is a 12 step program for that :D:p;)

mrsD 09-12-2015 02:00 PM

LOL.... you may be on to something, Icehouse.

I think God is telling me enough Angry Birds Friends... but each week I get sucked into the new 6 games and the ratings.
These games are more complex than the apps are. So I like to play them 20 minutes or so inbetween my visits here and my other activities.

Last week there was interruption, but it only lasted a few hours.

I do seem to recall that FB was going to dump Flash since it was hacked. Maybe this is part of that reorganization? sigh.
