[Fourlanders] Windows 10

[Sherman Banks]

The only issue I have is K4MRY's computer will come out of blank screen (after 1 hour of inactivity) and the screen will be shifted either to the left or the right. If I turn the monitor off for at least 5 seconds and then back on it gets right again - most of the time. Didn't do that with Windows 7. The 2 other computers I have work fine with no issues.

The auto dim on the screen brightness seems to occasionally vary as well. I haven’t quite figured out whether the driver is the problem, as I’ve checked several times if there is a more appropriate one available, but no success so far. It’s not objectionable enough to get worked out about it, so I think I’ll eventually work it out.

It is always rushed out the door faster than it should be (haven't we all been there) and I personally don't like being their beta tester.  Wait a year or two for the first service pack then see how it looks.  Until then I will be sticking with Windows 7 both at home and work.

I put most of these in the 64 bit Program Files folder, some in the 32 bit folder.
