    3) Open Windows Update and admonish it for being so lazy! (keep that window open in the background while you show it who is boss)
    4) Open an administrator command prompt (right click, Open as admin blah blah)
    5) Type this! : wuauclt.exe /updatenow
    6) PROFIT! But for srs, Windows10 upgrade should start downloading. If you get an error (Mine was 'Unable to update, 80246010. Just start from step one again.)

    I'm also running on Win10 now and it's sleeeeeeeek :3 XIV works perfectly! Might need a restart after the install finishes (Mine needed it for gfx driver), but other than that, it's been bliss so far. Happy upgradeeen!
    Personally, I've taken that approach after finding it on the MS forum, but ended up not working and giving a different error. What got it going for me was downloading the Windows 10 MediaCreationTool (64bit for me) off the official site. It's just a straight up download and installation process of 10.

    Oh nice, I didn't know that was an option since my install worked on the second try ^^; Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to share that solution too!

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    FF14 Only runs in Full Screen on Windows 10

    I found out that in my situation I have to run FF14 in Full Screen Mode to see everything...
    If I put it in Windowed Mode, everything goes black and I don't see anything... I wonder if this is an issue that could be fixed cause I would prefer running FF14 in Windowed Mode

    Check your graphics card drivers if you're having this issue. Myself, and many others are running 14 (and other games) in windowed / borderless etc with no issues.

    You may want to restart your PC if you haven't done so since completing the install.

    @Vespar: Glad you found a fix for your problem!
