Windows 10 S**t

Myself, like many other people have been having a lot of mysterious problems with their computers/ operating system, For anyone that is savey about errors maybe this will make some sense. Sorry for the length but I wanted to leave no stone un-turned.

Make sure your are using the correct drivers for your chipset (msahci or iRST or etc.) Get them from your OEM. Don't use enterprise version.

 

Are you still on the Fast Ring?

 

Do you only have one drive?

For the most part the only mysterious thing I've had happen was the whole WDDM update that broke a few dx 9 games.

I've had several issues but most of them were completely my fault and were caused by something that I did.

 

I have had files show up and report that they exist but they actually are no longer there. Lesson learned: Windows 7 just doesn't like to work with the win 10 system volume, vise versa.

I have been locked out of files before. I do know the tricks but I literally couldn't view the file, much less edit the perms. Lesson learned: Don't run things as Admin anymore.

 

Theres more but those are the big ones. Every now any then windows does this really annoying update in the background which causes some applications to break in some interesting ways. If I come across any weirdness, I just restart as it isnt too much trouble anymore.

Windows 10 is actually losing market share already, which is the fastest it has ever happened after a release. This is measuring share of actual computers in use. All the while, Windows 7 is gaining. Goes to show a lot of people aren't happy with Windows 10.

 

Even Linus Media Group has been ragging on it a bit. Just on the last WAN show Luke was talking about how it was giving him trouble while benching because system services would randomly max out the CPU.

Windows 10 is like a neighbour whom is nice on the surface, but when you least expect it, they ring your doorbell and leave a flaming paper bag of dog poop on your porch.

 

That almost sums it up for me.

I put my gaming rig back on Win 7 last week, life is good again. My daily driver dual boots Win 10 and Linux, I spend most of my time in Linux so I think the Win 10 install  is headed back to the Fast Ring, it can't be much worse and I get faster responses from Microsoft on issues.

I have more frustration with win 7 rather than win 10. I mean win 10's issues are pretty funny because they usually dont make any sense or is an issue that should have been fixed in the beta.

I attempted to go back to win 7 and found it doesnt support some of my hardware which Im fine with as the win 7 install is terrible, it takes ages and kept locking up or forgetting my usb's exist.

Trying to get win 7 and win 10 to play nicely but that wasnt going to happen due to how I wanted the OS's to coexist. Trust me I spent literal days(12+ hrs each) trying to do this, it just wasnt going to happen.

The install that I got from win7 was very inconsistent from install to install, sometimes skyrim would fire right up other time it would CTD, I solved every one and none were identical. 

The few times that skyrim worked, the game riddled with stutter(even at 60) and had an overall lower performance ~33% reduction. After swapping to win 10 with similar drivers and software, it performed better even with the 4064 limit which at the time I was either really close to or I was hitting.

Honestly, I couldnt tell you why but its what happened and was consistent with any other working installs.

 

Im just glad win10 can boot up every time without any complaints, win 7 boot would randomly break in my experiences.

A few things, win7 doesnt fully support UEFI or NVMe SSDs which makes it pretty useless for me.

I hate game problems. That means I have spent a considerable amount of time over the years forcing Skyrim to run reliably. Since Sheson's memory fix, I have had a very reliable, heavily modded Skyrim (STEP CORE and difficulty mods) on my Win 7 gaming rig.

 

Win 10 has "undone" all that work, for me. In particular, Skyrim CTD's (again) and there is something up with different mod animations breaking (freezing, loss of character control). Its really frustrating.

 

Have to admit that the Crimson AMD drivers and Win 10 have given me an across the board FPS increase for every game I've tested of about 15% - 20%. But, SOMETHING is mucking with game reliability and the useless Event error reports are zero help now.

 

Just got done with a major re-install of two game setups (Non-MO); a "difficulty" setup and a "content" setup. Can't see a difference from the older setups in terms of CTD frequency or the (apparently) animation problems. I'm back to saving progress like I was pre-Sheson on Win 7.

 

If it were only Skyrim, I might look elsewhere. But, its like Win 10 has resurrected all the original problems of other games, as well.

 

I hate being a Beta tester for my gaming OS vendor. Just ranting, but I only use Windows for gaming. Not looking forward to re-installing Win 7 and going through the update process.
