I&#8217;ve recently updated the book to cover Windows 10, and it is now available in those few bookstores that still exist.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe old <em>Troubleshooting<\/em> book was really popular. I remember walking away from a Library and seeing a guy carry off the book. It was the second time he checked it out. That&#8217;s really cool (though it&#8217;s better if you just buy the book &#8211; hint, hint).<\/p>\n<p>The old book, actually the 2nd edition, covered Windows XP through Windows 7. I&#8217;m glad that publisher didn&#8217;t want me to cover Windows 8, which was awful and let&#8217;s all forget about that episode, but they did express interest in covering Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing that the book is updated because Windows 10 offers plenty of great troubleshooting features. Microsoft also removed some conflicting tools and consolidated some features, which helps with the troubleshooting task.<\/p>\n<p>The new book isn&#8217;t as thick as the old one, mostly because I pulled out all the material on Windows XP and Windows Vista. It still has some Windows 7 material in it, but the main focus is on Windows 10. Therefore, the new book is a lot thinner than the old one: 438 pages versus 768 pages. Also, I didn&#8217;t do any updated videos for the book. Oddly, the publisher has pulled the videos, which are no longer available on their website.<\/p>\n<p>This title is my 161st book. The Android &#8220;O&#8221; update to my Android books is coming soon. They still don&#8217;t know whether the &#8220;O&#8221; is &#8220;Oreo,&#8221; and my two Android books are being combined into a single title, which makes sense. That book will most likely be out in the late fall.<\/p>\n<p>I might also be doing a new programming book. I&#8217;ll keep you abreast of the details as things develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My latest book is out on the shelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-9008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-main","tag-troubleshooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9008"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9008\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9015,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9008\/revisions\/9015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
