Apparently, if you're using a wireless controller, you'll need to manually set it to use the 360 receiver driver, otherwise it just shows up as an unknown device.
I've always had this issue. I thought it was possibly because I bought a Chinese ripoff from Amazon for like 10 bucks. I'm partially interested in the Xbox one single they're coming out with but $25 for that thing seems kinda wacky to me.
Don't you need the receiver for it to work anyway, because its not just bluetooth like the ps3?
Yes and know - Wireless, you need a receiver, wired you don't. I have no fucking clue why they don't just allow it to work over USB with the plug and charge cable - It's already set up to do it, it just doesn't for no fucking reason. It even communicates down the cable to tell your computer there's a 360 controller connected, and what type it is - but just won't send input down the cable.

Nope, apparently even the official ones have that issue. For some reason, w10 can't identify it at this point in time.
I use a "ripoff", but it's from the same factory and physically identical, barring the logos. Standard MS driver works perfectly.
Lucked out. I've always had terrible experiences with third party controllers.
Oh no, the controller is first party, so is the play-and-charge kit. I got it with my launch 360. The only third-party unit involved is the receiver, which I picked up from Dealextreme.
VPN connectors are half broken. You can update them through powershell but the properties button when changing tcpip settings literally does nothing. I also couldn't get it to successfully remote into my work PC.
For the record I've set up remote connections to my work PC on both Windows 7 and 8 just fine so I'm fairly confident it's not user error.
Just my desktop. My laptop and my Dad's laptop both activated immediately. MS support is saying its a common issue and that it WILL activate... eventually.
I'm working on a review of Outlook for Android as a replacement for Google's Calendar and Gmail app. Edge is still pretty raw and, while Windows 10 isn't off the table, I'd need to learn a lot more about UX design before I could try tackling it for a review.

Contact support again. What's the worst that can happen?

I've finally found something with windows 10 that genuinely annoys me - there's no more "Install updates and shut down." You have to specifically restart for the purpose of installing updates.

Frankly, I'm glad they took that out. I've had quite a few occasions where I'm doing my daily browsing routine (YouTube, podcasts, webcomics, etc.) and it just randomly reboots. It pissed me off.
Let me finish what I was doing, please. Then I'll reboot on my own accord. Thank you.
There's a setting which detects when your PC is most idle in the day, based on your usage of the OS. It restarts in that period automatically.
Or at least it would, if it didn't choose apparently completely random times, or times that my computer isn't on. Though I suppose you could say it is at it's most idle when it's switched off, I don't think it helps.
And the rebooting I switched off was for Win7. I haven't touched the settings for Win10 updates, because they're fine as they are, barring the aforementioned lack of shutdown update.

I'll use One Drive. I'll also use Google Drive. And Flickr. And Adobe's cloud drive. And a bunch of 4TB USB drives. And my NAS. And S3. And Glacier.

On all machines or one?
Have you thought about maybe doing an update review on Edge and/or Windows 10?
