    Another windows another failure... jeez, what a surprise...

    The apps I was having trouble with after the update were pretty important for me (mail, calendar, store)-



    can anyone confirm this?

    I've been holding off till last night. First round of testing proved great. No hiccups as of yet. XTU works as it had before in 8.1. Asus tweaker works great.

    Good catch, at least you could find the culprit.

    Is this an "upgrade" or a "clean install" of Windows 10? I installed todays update with Zero issues.
    Most of my installs are clean installs.
    Perhaps this is yet again related to "upgrade" bugs. Will check out my upgraded machines vs clean installs.

    Again cant stress enough updates and other things can potentially act strange with all the residual drivers and software left behind from the previous OS etc.

    It is not a clean update, its an upgrade and sorry I had to report back but installed it with no issues two days ago. Now I have only one issue related to the xbox app. On day 1 I was able to open the games DVR on steam's gta v but I can't open it anymore.
