Lets start straight up with WEBROOT,as was a huge deciding factor if "UPGRADE" now or wait.
Webroot, over the last year and a half, more than proven itself to me. I researched,Webroot should transfer and work fine.
Upgraded,
Then looked like WEBROOT didn't work........I was wrong, it did, just less obvious. Adjust a few settings, Webroot obvious now!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
OK,
I upgraded to "10".
80+ % sure a good move....lol
The new setup is more user friendly.....They brought back some old favorite options.
The Start bar,a good move. Even though I got used to the 8.1 setup ,never thrilled with it,liking this set up more.
Added a few kick ass options.
Addinig CORTANA was a GREAT MOVE...
My Lenovo laptop came with Dragon assistant....
CORTANA .....impresses with hunting down any question ya ask....
I didn't remove Dragon......he follows certain request better....lol.
As far as the new Browser...."THE EDGE" , Replacing Internet explorer....
Opened it once, for a half hour,played with it's new options.
Looked interesting......not writing it off, just need to fix everything else after the upgrade first.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Now, the BAD SIDE of my upgrading .
GLITCHES happened.....And never had a Glitch with Windows 8.1.
Only 2.....but one is on-going.
#1
Not major.
CORTANA, my new favorite search program.
She loses her voice......
Oh she hears me, answers every question with text, blows me away how she finds answers to ANY goofy thing I ask.
Just the fact, the voice doen't work everytime....irritates.....
#2
Twice,in the first few days,
I had to Restart the computer,cause put the curser on any ICON, no results when clicked on it.
Those may seem small, but with 8.1 everything worked 100% evry time.......LOL
_______________________________________________________________________________________________--
OVERALL, so far, loving Windows 10.
Curious though,if anybody else had glitches when upgraded?
P.S.-----POST SCRIPT
Every time I turn on my laptop, and every time I log off,or turn it off....
I open WEBROOT and have it scan it.
It takes ALOT LONGER TO SCAN IT NOW SINCE UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 10!
No Idea why?

Hi Tracer
Thanks for sharing...have to say that my upgrade to Win 10 has been flawless (so far as I am still checking out if anything is not working as it should).
As far as I have been able to ascertain WSA is functioning corectly in trems of scan times and the other expected fucntionality. The only thing I had to do was to get it to display an icon in the notification tray area...that may be a WSA thing or may be a needing to tweak the Win 10 defaults in that area but it did not take much head scratching to achieve.
Of course there is the annoying issue that Webroot extensions won't work under Edge due to Edge being imcapable of handling such like at this time...but hopefully Microsoft will do something about that shortly.
Finally, I am UK based and Cortana has not been released for use here...I suspect that it is related to something to do with lanuage...'Amercian'...;) & English (what we Brits speak) is somewhat 'different' and it may be that they are still 'teaching' her the differences...;), so we will have to wait an see what gives there as and when.
On the whole I find that Win 10 is faster and smoother on my tablet than the presviously installed Win 8.1 so as far as I am concerned this looks like a keeper.
Regards, Baldrick

Had to do that tool.......At first I actually thought upgrading to level 10 REMOVED my WEBROOT....LOL.

The EDGE.......
I opened ,and played with for 10-20 minutes the day I installed Windows 10.
I haven't opened THE EDGE SINCE!
OHH, it may,and hoping so...ROCKS!....Looks like ALOT of new cool options.
But watching others using it first and waiting...... :)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
As far as CORTANA goes....
Hope ya get access to her.
My LEVONO laptop came with WINDOWS 8.1 and DRAGON ASSISTANT....
When I upgraded to WINDOWS 10....**bleep** near uninstalled that.
Glad I didn't....
On my laptop now...
Dragon responds better to certain basic voice commands.....BUT !!!!!!!!...
Comparing Dragon to CORTANA.........
Dragon is a polite 12 year old boy...CORTANA Is the Smarter,adult aged sister!
Tested "her" many times...With obscure questions..... impressed with the links she finds.
I LIKE CORTANA ALOT!!!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
As far as upgrading to WINDOWS 10 OVERALL.........
I still get the occasional minor glitch, but way less than whe I first upgraded.....
I started with WINDOWS XP back in 2000....at home.
Still have to deal with, at work .........PRE-WINDOWS 10 VERSIONS.
My summary so far on WINDOWS 10.......
The Positives...
They are obvious........
Compared to VISTA to 8.1.......a way better setup.
More effecient, more secure, and way more user friendly.
The negatives....
For now.....Only one.....
Hearing over and over from others that refusing the "UPGRADE"
Saying windows 10 sends everything ya do online, gets recorded.
Not finding Windows 10------ GLITCH FREE...
BUT FINDING IT VERY PROMISING....So far serving my online needs wel! ;)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
DUH....EDIT....
WEBROOT,
Transitioned from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 fine.
My laptop came with one year of WEBROOT,....Bought 2 more years.....Down to 505 days now....
Still a happy camper ;)

?Some of the issues you seem to be having don't sound uncommon for when you upgraded to Windows 10. You upgraded almost immediately after it was available. There were a lot of bugs still but it seems that they're smoothing most of those out. If you're having issues with Webroot scan time please open a support ticket so that our support team can get some information and guide you to resolving that problem.
ASADAMS,.
Sorry for taking so long, just saw yer post.
And Sir, yer right..they are debugging it.
Less and less issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That said, did have a security scare ,like 3 days ago.
3 times a warning popped up saying,both windows security and webroot was shut off...
Each time,
Clicked on......restored them,,then ran a DEEP SCAN.
Did a full restart.........no issues since.
As I have total faith in WEBROOT------- SO FAR.....
I'm guessing a windows upgrade caused that........and hasn't happened since.
478 days left on my subscription...... and still a happy camper... :D

Hi Tracer, Yup it happens ocassionaly, but as long as you see the Green Webroot icon in the task bar, you can be certain it is not turned off!
