Honestly, several years ago, I dis-allowed all Microsoft updates on all of our Windows 7 machines and have had far less problems that when automatic updates were allowed.
I will soldier on with Windows 7 as far as it will take me as thus far it has always been the best option for us.

When I endeavored to upgrade my Win7 machine HARDWARE I was advised the I should consider Win 10. I immediately said no - to which the reply was don't spend any money then because with this hardware you want you'll be forced to use Win 7 drivers therefore you'll see almost no improvement. I followed the advice given but insisted in Win 10 Pro which provides more control of the environment (including auto upgrades). I haven't had 1 issue since last Nov (2018). Even the "dreaded 1903 version" works flawlessly.

The problem with Windows of any version is they are the Small Block Chevrolet of the computer world; and, just like aftermarket auto enhancement manufacturers, the big time and money investments go into making products first for the most common (most likely market) and other systems are ignored.
If FastStone, Elements 7, and DxO Optics Pro 9 Elite were Linux Mint Cinnamon compatible, along with a few other Windows-only programs, I would go Linux in a flash.

Bring back XP.  My computer is getting on in years. So I hesitate about paying out for Windows 10, because, knowing my luck, if I did that, then soon after, I would need a new machine. |

Whippet, my problem is the same as yours and I was told the latest version of WIN 10 most likely couldn't even be installed on it. I'm in the process of selecting a new computer, only the more I read the more I keep changing my mind about specifications.

Even the "dreaded 1903 version" works flawlessly. I have Windows 10 Pro installed on two computers. No problems whatsoever! Some users of Elements did have problems with the Windows 10 1803 update (April 2018) when using PSE 15 and PSE 2018 (but not when using PSE 2019). Elements and the new Windows 10 (April - v 1803) updateFortunately, the Windows 10 1903 update (May 2019) took care of these problems. |

I saw that as an Adobe issue since the update itself installed without any problems. Luckily, for me no other applications were affected and the workaround to get PSE working again was quick and simple. |

Thanks Sepiana. That thread just contains a single post with another link to the actual article from Adobe, need 2 clicks to get to it though. The thread links to a web page from Adobe with information about " Future versions of Creative Cloud will not support Windows 7". (single click to get to it) I suspect many other applications will also not support Win 7 after MS stop supporting it. |
