Did Build 10061 revert back to 8.0's non-obvious approach to restart / shut-down?

After installing Build 10061, it took some hunting to figure out how to Restart and to Shut-Down.
IIRC, part of the awful 8.0 was that it was difficult to figure out how to Restart / Shut-Down, along with a host of other usability issues.
Well, I want to get back to my Win-7 partition on my desktop, after wresting with Build 10061's Spartan browser.
And it took me 5+ minutes to figure out how to accomplish that. I know I can be slow and a "dim bulb", but am I the only one unhappy at this change? Am I missing something obvious on how to get out of Build 10061.
IIRC, Win 8.1 got to be relatively easy to Restart, and Builds from the 9000's to the previous 10049 were easy to Restart.
And now, my experience is that I was back to needing to do Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then notice the widget at the lower right ... which has the fly-over hint of Shut-Down when I really want to Restart.

Thanks, especially for the screen shot.
I infer by "Windows Logo", you mean what I think of as the "Start Button".
I'm not on the Build 10061 partition right now, so I can't check if that works for me. It seems I tried RMB on the "Start Button / Windows Logo", and that didn't offer the option of Restart.
Also, from a Usability perspective, having that choice of words is flawed. The Menu showing up from the RMB click mentions two possibilities (Shut down or sign out), but then there are actually 4 possibilities on the "fly-out menu (also Restart and
Sleep).
My speculation is that I may have noticed the option of "Shut down or sign out" and was still scratching my head about "so, how do I Restart".
I'll check the next time I boot to the Build 10061 partition.
I think the other Reply post may show another way to Restart, but that screenshot (thanks!) looks different.

The startup disk may need repairing...
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery

Why did my collections revert back to Books or PDF?

Why did my collections disappear into Books and PDF?

Hi leles61,
The resource below explains the viewing / organizing options for iBooks on your iPad mini.
Frequently asked questions about iBooks - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5557
Organize your library
To rearrange books in your iBooks library, touch and hold a book, then move it where you want it. You can also sort books in iBooks by switching to List view and tapping Most Recent, Titles, Authors, or Categories.
You can also organize your books these ways:
A grid or list view.
Specific collections based on a topic. For example, you can put all your books and PDFs related to your work in a single collection.

Indesign reverts back to defaults everytime mac is restarted...help?

Ever since installing CS4 I have had this trouble with Indesign -- specifically with the measurement units reverting back to the default of picas everytime I shutdown/restart my mac.
Yes, I have tried the old method of changing this in the preferences without any other files open. Has something changed with Indesign CS4?
I believe even some of the other settings revert, but none of those bother me as much as this problem with the measurements being in picas everytime.
Any suggestions on what I can do to make it quit reverting back to the default? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Changing default prefs only affects new documents, not those you've already made. Is that perhaps the problem? If the new defaults aren't sticking for new documents, I would suggest the first thing to try is trashing (replacing your prefs entirely) and editing them once again. See Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

Droid 2 Global Shut down and will not turn back on

My D2G shut down earlier today and will not turn back on. I was listening to music and it shut down in the middle of playing. If i plug it into a charger at first it does nothing (the charging light doesn't even come on), then after a while the backlight will come on, but nothing else happens. I have tried removing the battery. I've tried charging the phone for a few hours (in case the battery was dead) and still it will not power on. I don't even see the "M" logo screen when i try to power on.
Anybody have any ideas?

That's very upsetting when the device will not power on. It maybe hardware related so we may need to look at your replacement options. Is there any corrosion where the battery and device connect? Please try the alternative hard reset This will factory reset the device. Please make sure contacts are backed up prior to resetting. If you are still experiencing this issue please PM me and I will gladly further troubleshoot with you.
Thank you

Why did my macbook start installing while I was shutting down?

I was trying to shut my macbook down and it began to do so, but suddenly you could see a transparent window show up that had an install bar initiate. My macbook then installed an unknown update that I did not initiate. I was not in update software at all before I shut down. I closed my Microsoft Word application and then I shut it down. I checked the Console and there was activity during this time that I don't understand, but can post info on if someone knows how to decipher it.
I am concerned that my macbook installed some type of malicious software by itself.
I am always cautious to what emails I open etc, so I don't know why it did that.

Hold the power button and the system will eventually shutdown (uncleanly). My MacBook freezes from time to time while watching Netflix (4 times in 2 years). I wouldn't worry about unless it's happening all the time.

2006 iMac running 10.4 OS. I copied files to ext. drive. Put in 10.6 disc and did a clean install (format) of 10.6. Copied data from ext. drive back to Mac. I didn't get all the files. CAN I REVERT BACK TO THE 10.4 OS SO I CAN COPY MY DATA PROPERLY?

How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

BTW, it is never recommended to do a major OS change without having a full, bootable backup.

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-instal

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-install a previous version b/c I need both a product Id (GOd only knows where that is now) and a way to uninstall the trial. Any ideas?

When you installed the trial, there should have been an option to have ignored your current installation and leave it. Apparently you skipped that case. To uninstall the trial (in Windows) go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select the Acrobat XI and choose uninstall. After the uninstall run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean up your system. HOWEVER, if you see your old Acrobat in that window, do not run the cleaner, but do a repair on the old version.
You did not mention the old version you had. You might try from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. As for the S/N, you should have register and if so you can get it from Adobe. The instructions are at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload.
Be sure to backup any download of the old installer and the S/N to CD or backup HD for future use. They will not likely continue to be available.

Windows Insider Preview Start Menu Not Working: Build 10061

I've been using the Desktop tech preview for some time now. It seemed that with each build, the apps would bleed outside the window frame without scrollbars, ergo, making the apps not useable(except for browser). Then, starting with 10041 the start menu
wouldn't work. There is no way for me to open it except through the notifications button. Now with build 10061, none of the buttons work. Only firefox, which I have added to my taskbar. Although, edge nor IE will open either. So ATM, only the task manager,
firefox, folder button, and the volume control button seem to open/work. I have tried restarting and switching profiles, bu nothing seems to work.
I want to get away from win10. Before, on start up it would ask me if I wanted to revert back to win8. Now it doesn't ask anymore. How do I get back to win8?

To go back to Win8, you need a recovery media or an installation media for Win8.
Did you make one of those before you installed Win 10 TP over Win 8 ?
May I interest you to give Win 10 TP another go ?
ON the 29th, a new build has been released. It's build 10074.
You can install it via Windows Update or downloading the ISO which is also released at the same date.
My suggestion is to download the ISO > burn it to a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB > use the bootable media to do a Clean Install.
I suggest a clean install to make sure your new install will not "inherit" any "baggage".
In short, you will start fresh.
Here is the download link for Pro (non-Enterprise) ISO;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1504
Notice that it has a new product key :6P99N-YF42M-TPGBG-9VMJP-YKHCF
You shouldn't need it. But, just in case it asks for it.
If you want the Enterprise version:

Benchmarking of windows 10 build 10061 vs windows 8.1 on the same machine

After some of testing build windows 10 build 10061 with pcmark 8 and some graphics tesing windows 10 the major set back on performance drivers are not ready quite yet (amd drivers have major issues here) Also have issue with nvidia quadro drivers cl accelerated
not working other then driver is fine
Home Accelerated 88.77 of windows performance
HomeConventional 95.84 PCMark 8 Work Accelerated 2.0 95.22. On that test I though out dell laptop scores it was way off. PCMark 8 Work Conventional 2.0 98.41
PCMark 8 Creative Accelerated 3.0 90.66%
PCMark 8 Creative Conventional 3.0 98.56 These score were vs windows 8.1
Now the data for windows 10 build 10061 of the web browser mozilla firefox 95.94
chrome 95.85
internet explorer 99.28 (scores went from last build)
spartan against the windows 8.1 ie 101.69 faster. Score are still much slower the chrome or firefox .
Gpu drivers did play role here
Their were 4 machine test here for this data.
intel q6600 with nvidia 460 with 6gb ddr2
dell laptop core 2 9550 cpu quadro 770 4gb ram
esxi box amd 1100 given 4cores 4gb ram
amd 8320 with gb ddr 3 and 5770 actuall has 2 but due driver issue only one was working

I would disagree. It does show were it would need work currently. If the amd drivers keep have problems I would not recommend the os to people that have amd gpu on machine. I hope that this os is one the better os for Microsoft. As pc gamer I would not run
os on my machine that cause lower performances on machine it makes no sense.
Contrary to your own unbiased opinion, making decisions based on an unfinished product is really a waste of time for the end user. Yes, Windows 10 still needs work, but your benchmarks are totally useless for comparing an unfinished product to a finished.
That's like counting your chickens before the eggs are hatched!!

How do I revert back to Ios 6. My Iphone 4 cannot support IOS 7. I wish somebody had mentioned this before I upgraded.

Caught up in the frenzy, I updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 7. Didn't realize (nor did I hear from Apple) that my phone is too slow to support features on IOS7. It is now super sluggish and has some annoying features. I am so unhappy. Tried to revert back to IOS6 but it seems the "window" to do that has closed. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to buy a new phone - this has been more than adequate for my needs. I feel like Apply is forcing people to upgrade their devices by doing this. Any suggestions?

There is no suported way to do this. Apple never has, and never will, support going back to a previous release of iOS 7.
I can only suggest you go through the supported channels.
First, leave feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Second, call Apple support and file a problem.
Third, visit a local Apple store and see if they can help you at the Genius bar.
Forth, lesson learned. Never do an upgrade before visiting these discussion forums and getting a sense for how well the new release is being accepted. Keeping in mind of course that there are hundreds of millions of iPhone and IPads out there. I read just earlier that over 200 million iPads and iPhone were sold just last year. So of course we all need to factor in that posts to these forums represent a very small fraction of the total number of iPhone and iPad users.
