|
||||
|EnableRestarts|The problem is indicated when an application and computer appear to hang because processes cannot end to allow the computer to complete its restart processes.<p>The fix enables the computer to restart and finish the installation process by verifying and enabling that the SeShutdownPrivilege service privilege exists.<div class="alert">**Note:** For more detailed information about this application fix, see [Using the EnableRestarts Fix](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/ff720128(v=ws.10)).</div>|
|
||||
|ExtraAddRefDesktopFolder|The problem occurs when an application invokes the Release() method too many times and causes an object to be prematurely destroyed.<p>The fix counteracts the application's tries to obtain the shell desktop folder by invoking the AddRef() method on the Desktop folder, which is returned by the SHGetDesktopFolder function.|
|
||||
|FailObsoleteShellAPIs|The problem occurs when an application fails because it generated deprecated API calls.<p>The fix either fully implements the obsolete functions or implements the obsolete functions with stubs that fail.<div class="alert">**Note:** You can type FailAll=1 at the command prompt to suppress the function implementation and force all functions to fail.</div>|
|
||||
|FailRemoveDirectory|The problem occurs when an application uninstallation process does not remove all of the application files and folders.<p>This fix fails calls to RemoveDirectory() when called with a path matching the one specified in the shim command line. Only a single path is supported. The path can contain environment variables, but must be an exact path – no partial paths are supported.<p>The fixcan resolves an issue where an application expects RemoveDirectory() to delete a folder immediately even though a handle is open to it.|

|

|FlushFile|This problem is indicated when a file is updated and changes do not immediately appear on the hard disk. Applications cannot see the file changes.<p>The fixenables the WriteFile function to call to the FlushFileBuffers APIs, which flush the file cache onto the hard disk.|
|
||||
|FontMigration|The fix replaces an application-requested font with a better font selection, to avoid text truncation.|

Where can I download Windows 10 Enterprise?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
If you have Windows volume licenses with Software Assurance, or if you have purchased licenses for Windows 10 Enterprise volume licenses, you can download 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Enterprise from the [Volume Licensing Service Center](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx). If you don't have current Software Assurance for Windows and would like to purchase volume licenses for Windows 10 Enterprise, contact your preferred Microsoft Reseller or see [How to purchase through Volume Licensing](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/how-to-buy/how-to-buy.aspx).

- question: |
|
||||
What is Windows as a service?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
The Windows 10 operating system introduces a new way to build, deploy, and service Windows: Windows as a service. Microsoft has reimagined each part of the process, to simplify the lives of IT pros and maintain a consistent Windows 10 experience for its customers. These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers, and leveling out the resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows over time. For more information, see [Overview of Windows as a service](../update/waas-overview.md).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- question: |
|
||||
How is servicing different with Windows as a service?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types: major revisions (for example, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. With Windows 10, there are two release types: feature updates that add new functionality two to three times per year, and quality updates that provide security and reliability fixes at least once a month.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- question: |
|
||||
What are the servicing channels?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing channels to allow customers to designate how aggressively their individual devices are updated. For example, an organization may have test devices that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible, and then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity. With that in mind, Microsoft offers two servicing channels for Windows 10: General Availability Channel, and Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC). For details about the versions in each servicing channel, see [Windows 10 release information](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows/release-info.aspx). For more information on each channel, see [servicing channels](../update/waas-overview.md#servicing-channels).

- question: |

How will people in my organization adjust to using Windows 10 Enterprise after upgrading from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
Windows 10 combines the best aspects of the user experience from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 to make using Windows simple and straightforward. Users of Windows 7 will find the Start menu in the same location as they always have. In the same place, users of Windows 8.1 will find the live tiles from their Start screen, accessible by the Start button in the same way as they were accessed in Windows 8.1.
