Warning about HP Laptops - incompatibility with Win 10 Creators Update

[Straf]

@Mouse - have you tried a fresh install by downloading the slipstreamed version of Windows 10 Creators Update from their website and making installation media? You'll need a 8GB memory stick or a dual layer DVD. The problem with the update was it was changing a lot of stuff such as system files in the background. It was like stripping down and rebuilding the engine of a car as the car was running. Perhaps putting a fresh engine in might help?

Also @Mouse - I still think it's possible to downgrade to 8.1 by downloading it from the MS website. Again you'll have to put it onto some sort of installation media.

@Tonnichiwa - here's a list of video editing software for you to check out:

Avidemux
LiVES
Open Shot
Pitivi
Shotcut
VideoPad

There are a few others that seem to have been abandoned/discontinued. I haven't done any video editing on Windows for a long time so I can't offer any advice on any of them. You'll have to do your own research on features and that. I know when I was editing video I was using more than one application. I use one to cut the scenes/clips out of the main sequence then another to put them together with the effects I wanted (fades, etc.) This was the same thing as I did on Linux as well but there's a much wider range of products available on Linux. Another thing is you might want to check out some converters too, for going from one CODEC to another.

Oh I forgot to add - Blender can also be used to edit video but I tried to follow a tutorial on it and gave up.

That sounds more like a nightmare than it does a useful tool. Ah, I love Blender.
