Public Service Announcement

Just had a series of bsod with nvlddmkm.sys being the main issue.

Tried everything. Turns out, that game mode bullshit (where the gpu does the vram management) was causing issues.

Clean install, the new 2004 update plus game mode off: no more bsod.
Fuck Microsoft.

linux masterrace

You can if you have the Pro edition. There's a group policy that lets you disable automatic updates. It's called "Configure Windows Updates" I believe.

dude just download more RAM lmao

I waited to update so...whatever this was didn't impact me at all.

Because you’re using the „home” version of Windows 10 and Microsoft doesn’t trust you to know what you’re doing. You can postpone updates with the „pro” version, but ultimately they’ll still get installed at some point. I’d say it might have been a noble idea at some point (you know, to protect your average casual laptop user), but since you also can’t fully turn off the telemetry (MS spying on what you’re doing with your OS) they can fuck right off.

There's nothing noble about limiting user options. Who is technologically inept enough to not know what they're doing with the settings, yet still fuck with them? There's administrative access control in case some fuckhead gets on it and starts trying to screw with things.

The last time i update my window 10 was 3 years ago

Is this the OS-tan thread today?

I thought that it added the frame time gpu management or whatever and people were getting slightly better frames in games

Anytime i disable the windows update service it turns itself back on after a while

What that old saying, "your mileage may vary?" I think somebody probably should have said that when they released this feature.

>Do not, I repeat DO NOT under any circumstances install the latest Windows 10 update!

Ahh...good old Windows 7.

Fair enough.

Why are schizoids so afraid of updates?

my boot time is faster and games are running better. take your meds.

But games run ~10-15% faster with H-A GPU Scheduling

windows 8.1 masterrace

Can confirm games run ~10% faster with new GPU scheduling feature

more like 1-2%

It's fine, but Win7 is where's at.
Honorable mentions to 2000 and XP

>Why the fuck am I a not allowed to choose if I want to update or not?
Because allowing people led to gigantic botnets abusing well known and long patched vulnerabilities.

We in July bruh.
Pretty much everyone have already installed May's update.

Yeah, you're not longer getting any updates at all. Let's hope no one ever finds an exploit again.

I think OP has shitty PC. Did notice any performance or stability issues. Installed update ~ month ago.

I upgraded and games run a bit faster with that new scheduling option turned on.

>Who is technologically inept enough to not know what they're doing with the settings, yet still fuck with them?

Do you not remember the "delete system 32" advice to get your computer to run faster?

My old man used to say „if it’s not broken, don’t you try fixing it”. Myself, on the other hand, I always HAD to update everything for the sake of it. Until one day I ended up somehow fucking up the computer by performing a BIOS update, derp. Learned my lesson. And yeah I know that OS wise there’s zero day exploits and all that jazz to worry about, but I tend not to downlod sketchy shit ane I’m not a high profile person to be targeted, so yeah...

>ou can postpone updates with the „pro” version, but ultimately they’ll still get installed at some point.
You can literally configure Windows to absolutely never install updates unless you explicitly press the button if you're using Pro.

>There's administrative access control in case some fuckhead gets on it and starts trying to screw with things.
The fuckhead is the owner, user and administrator of the computer. It's a home PC, there's no "administrator" to lock control away, the fuckhead is the "administrator".

good thing im on 20H2!

This is happening for people who don't update their drivers, have old versions of apps and/or have a shit ton of bloatware that they installed themselves from using shit software.
Fresh installations are running actually faster, 90% of the time is not the OS fault but software that have shitty uninstallers that don't remove references from registry and leave some drivers running around like dumbasses. If you want to try tons of software, please do fresh installations every 6 months.

>Yeah, you're not longer getting any updates at all. Let's hope no one ever finds an exploit again.
Windows 10 has a much greater risk of attack compared to Win 7 now. If over 85% of people use Windows 10, attackers are a lot less likely to bother with the few remaining on Windows 7. This is how it has always worked. Oh, and I've been working in security for years so I know how to mitigate threat, unlike normalfags.

>Who is technologically inept enough to not know what they're doing with the settings, yet still fuck with them?
I see you've never worked tech support in any form.

tfw I just switched to windows 10 for Death Stranding

>If over 85% of people use Windows 10
If. Win7 is still at 20%, and 20% easy targets is more rewarding than 80% patched targets.
> Oh, and I've been working in security for years so I know how to mitigate threat
So why aren't you doing it? If you knew "how to mitigate threat" you'd be running linux instead of exposing a dated OS to the internet.

You are the cause of all the problems and why Microsoft has to practically force you to reboot.
Updates are not something as trivial as putting some new apps, they actually update important dlls like winlogon, ntkernel, etc because there is always vulnerabilities happening, exploits, ransomware, etc.. and patching those are important, but when people don't reboot never or disable updates and mess around with the registry, then those changes remain pending, and when a new update comes along or a driver that is referencing a different value that was already modified, you run into problems.

>Win7 is still at 20%, and 20% easy targets is more rewarding than 80% patched targets.
It doesn't work like this, at all. This is simplistic.

>So why aren't you doing it?
I am. I use Windows 7 virtualized on Debian using KVM+QEMU with gpu passthrough. You should try it sometime.
