Microsoft issues

[Katie]

I'm having the same issue most at the Cafe are with the issues after the latest Mircosoft update.

So frustratingly annoying.

[Squad 51]

Yeah, tell me about it. I have the same problem here. Though I'm online and my network says so, once a day or more, I'm put off for no reason obviously. Ugh, sometimes I could curse on Microsoft and its usual strange updates!

[Katie]

So very annoying alright, isn't it, so many of us seem to be having similar issues.

Microsoft is just so strange, I'd turn off the updates, but I sometimes have no choice, it updates when I shut down.

[Jean]

Yeah, those Microsoft updates do more harm than good.

Seems most are having problems lately, as I've seen at the Cafe and here.

[Squad 51]

Yeah, they force with some updates (like Edge - while I prefer Firefox as a browser) and then they need a veeeeeeery long time to get it right again. *big sighs*

I've used Firefox for quite a few years now.  It's excellent.

Luckily I've had no problems with Microsoft yet even after that updated recently.

I use Google Chrome at the moment or UC browser which is very good for downloading things quickly.

Yeah, so have I. But Microsoft is really forcing you to use Edge. I have to uninstall a lot, because I don't want to use it, no matter what. I love my browser.

[Tim]

I did get Edge downloaded into my computer.  I have no plans to use it though.

[Squad 51]

Indeed, neither do I, and it happened again today!!

[Tim]

Seems most of the problems are connected with Edge.

[Squad 51]

Microsoft disconnects you from the Internet, even though you're still online as the hardware says. I don't get it here!!

[Tim]

Never had that issue. 

Perhaps the fact that I use Firefox is the reason.

[Squad 51]

I do use Firefox as well but it still happens for some reason. It happened to a lot of users with the latest May update on Windows 10. You can repair it yourself but then you have to restart your PC.

[Tim]

Odd that an update would have such an effect.
