Ever since we moved into our house several years ago, I've been frustrated by the unnecessary complexity of our sprinkler controller. "Smart" sprinkler controllers have been on the market for a while, but I was put off by the cost. However, the Rachio Iro (1st Gen, 16 zone) went on sale for $150 (here) as inventory was cleared for the 2nd Gen model, I finally pulled the trigger.

Windows 10 (Upgrade) Frequently Crashing
After upgrading a laptop (HP Envy dv6-7214nr) from Windows 8 to Windows 10, the laptop would frequently crash. Google Chrome was almost guaranteed to cause a crash, but even after uninstalling that, the laptop would frequently crash.
Checking Windows 10's reliability monitor showed "Apple Push" as the most frequent cause of the crash, but I could find no way to disable the "Apple Push" service.
A bit of google searching led me to this link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/upgraded-to-windows-10-but-now-msvcp100dll-is/68475c07-090a-4fe8-9a0f-7d5f1ac0cbde?auth=1.
While not an exact match for my issue, I decided to try uninstalling all versions of "Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable". And it worked! A few programs that relied on the missing components failed to run, but that was easily solved by reinstalling them.
