I'll give Microsoft a backhanded compliment on Windows 10............


............ it's an improvement over the atrocious Windows 8, but all of a sudden I have issues with disappearing text. I'll type or copy/paste something and the last word or two will mysteriously go poof! ..... Anybody else have this experience with 10?

Really. Type your issue into Cortana and hit enter. One of the nicest things about Win10 and one that hasn't gotten attention is that MS really boosted their tech support response for the Win10 launch. I've had a lot of problems but I haven't had one that MS Tech Support hasn't had a solution for already up in the forums.

went into it, IMHO. The first 2 days, I used a months worth of metered data.

There's a fix for it, but should be part of the setup. This IS the usa, you know. Our data is slower and more expensive than the rest of the world...
