Windows 10 Anniversary Update Breaks Everything...

Recently, after the update to build 1607 (Anniversary update,) it broke everything from Game Controllers to Webcams. So be careful and I advise everyone to wait before updating.

Huh... interesting. I have version 1607 and so far I haven't had any issues with my webcam at least...nothing broken as far as I can tell but time will tell I guess.

I had downgraded from Windows 10 to 7 on my laptop, because older drivers weren't compatible with Windows 10. Some people are complain about window 10 on their 5 or 6 years old laptop.

I considered trying to get Win10 on my laptop but no go because a)Win XP and b)it's 8 years old. This PC is now about 4-5 years old now I think- Windows 7 Pro previously. So far I haven't had any problems at all popping up other than "you don't have the most recent Office version" notice (I ignore that because I'm not paying for it!).
