Can someone post this bug about windows 10 Pro Insider Preview? I can't create VPN connection with applications like teamviewer, it was working on the previous version, after upgrading to Pro Insider, it doesn't work anymore.

Major problem: the bug report I want to send is the fact that my start menu does not open up AT ALL anymore, no matter what I try. Build 10074.

I am using Advanced Systems Care Ultlimate 8. When installed on this version of Windows 10, the "Toolbox" section remains empty. You have no options. I reinstalled it three times. It works for the first time, then won't work. It works in 7 and 8 with no issues.

I loaded Win 10 upgrade and after all was done, I lost my wife's and my grandsons' sites and only mine was left.

I use up to date thunderbird email. The problem is every time I go to send an email, the address book I set to personal address book is reset back to all address books - this started after installing Win 10 update! What should I do?

Yes, same problem with the start menu and search - won't open at all. Worked fine for first two days after the free upgrade, but now won't open at all. It has been several weeks and right now I wished I did not upgrade at all!

This error shows to be in a file called: SME3YQY6.LOG in regards to Windows 10. Please explain how to resolve this.

Well isn't this hilarious. My entire desktop just disappeared. The start button does not work and there is no way I can alert them to the issue. Unless of course, I restart, the OS fixes itself and I no longer have any reason to bother, but let's face it... I'm lazy. It's pretty weird that my browser even works, considering before it went down, it refused to show my internet access. My browser is literally the only thing that works and that's Chrome.

I am having trouble with Windows 10. No brightness control any where. When I log out of my screen and then back in the brightness goes to bright and I can not see anything. I have the turn the computer off and on several times until it resets. It needs fixing.

The result of Step 3 is "No results found for 'Windows Feedback'."

My Windows is having a special type of bug. If I open a program it gets opened very quickly in Task Manager but takes about 15 seconds to load on my screen. Earlier this wasn't an issue because it quickly gets on my screen.
Please help me to fix this issue. I also updated my Windows, even optional updates are installed.

MS just ignores my bug report. So what good is in this feature?
