Then I wanted to create the x86 and x64 Home images, so I did that, and immediately under load, the system is very responsive vs before the update, that same process completely dragged down the GUI to the point clicking something had 2-3 seconds of lag. Whoa.    drat, I know what I'm doing tonight

Yeah I'm finding the new update to be a lot smoother and nicer. So far nothing is broke apart from the super hacky things you'd expect to break (e.g. Glass8, 7 Taskbar Tweaker), and the fluent stuff combined with WinAero tweaker is starting to make Glass8 less necessary. Note: I did a "keep personal files only" install. Upgrades may well be poo poo.

My upgrade worked well so far. Will update if odd crap happens. OK Odd crap happened. I was testing an Intel 750 NVMe with crystal disk benchmark. I know i've run this before and it's never maxed my CPU out %100 and made my cursor start lagging. My guess it is not the Ultimate Performance mode, but rather the Intel meltdown/spectre patches causing massive overhead. [edit] And so I tried all the power modes, Balanced does the same thing but less so, so the cursor jerks a bit less. I'd say both ultimate performance mode and the intel patches pretty much nail the system responsiveness under %100 nvme loads. On the other hand, I get like %10 better performance out of Ultimate performance mode just looking at the disk benchmark. redeyes fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Apr 6, 2018 |

I did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro (from a USB stick) and let it do whatever it needed to update and such. Before installing anything else I went to enable WSL but on reboot the feature was turned back off again. Doing this again didn’t change the outcome. I did some searching and eventually realized that one of the cumulative updates (2018-03 I think) refused to install itself. Windows Update would download it, and then it would tell me I needed to reboot to finish installing it. But rebooting my PC just gave me a notification that some updates couldn’t be installed and if I went to Windows Update again it would tell me that it was downloading and then that I needed to reboot. Anyway long story short I tried every single suggestion I could find about Windows updates not installing and in the end I had to “reset this PC (keep my files)”. Now all the updates install and WSL and Ubuntu are installed. Why in the world would this be an issue with a fresh clean install

Did the update. Full screen mode in Edge is a hell of a lot more useful now that you can pull down the entire top bar.

That feature on the windows update screen has been a thing for a while now. Every time the text updates (and since it shows % downloaded/installed it updates a lot) in that window, the scrollbar resets.

Repeated reinstalls fixing or changing issues happened when I had memory on the edge of stability. Seemed worth asking even though you said the problem persisted.

GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:Repeated reinstalls fixing or changing issues happened when I had memory on the edge of stability. My issue was that I reset Windows because i had issues with 3 different development programs co-operating and I hadn't done it in a while. After Windows reset was done MSI Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector would be super laggy - refreshing their windows and reacting to my input once per 3 seconds. I reset Windows again, made an install media and tried that, even used install media that was one major version behind because I thought maybe the issue was only there for fresh version of current Windows build. Nope still the same issue. Then I tried W8.1 just to see if the it would change anything and surprisingly the problem was still kind of there. Took about half a second for those programs to react to input which occasionally happened before when everything was ok. I really don't like some aspects of W8 though so after finding that out I decided to accept the issue and went back to 10. After that I have found out that when my dedicated Nvidia GPU is disabled those programs are smooth as butter and the problem just disappears whenever a game using the GPU is running. Weird as heck.

Not sure if it's newsworthy but I just did a fresh W10 install on 4 Apr with a Win7Pro key. So keep on cranking up those old keys if you got 'em.

astral posted:Did you reinstall your nvidia drivers after the windows reset? I reinstalled the drivers every time because otherwise the GPU wouldn't be visible nor usable by anything. I used the latest drivers that I was also using before the first Reset when those programs worked fine. I'm not going to reinstall my Windows again for this because I'm tired of doing it.

I have Enterprise Win 10 on my home PC. How do I change it to the "Win 10 for workstations" which gives a performance boost, apparantly? I have MSDN.

There's no upgrade path from Enterprise to Pro for Workstations. You have to do a downgrade install of Pro, then get your key from MSDN and upgrade to Pro for Workstations. If your Enterprise is E3 then you'll even skip straight back into Enterprise without a reboot.

Am I wrong or is the main performance boost for workstations that it keeps the CPU at it's max frequency at all times? At least as far as putting this on a normal desktop goes.

How do you make windows account for the physical size of a monitor on a dual screen setup? I have a 24" 1440p that sits above a 15" 4k screen (my laptop). the laptop screen is display 1, and the external monitor is display 2. I have display 2 set to primary, but windows seems to think that because the 15" screen is 4k, it must be a physically bigger monitor (and depicts it as such in control panel). This makes the entry/exit points of the cursor not line up when moving between screens- is it possible to fix that?

Dumb question: is there any way to embed a live tile on the desktop? I know you can't do it natively within W10 but maybe a third party app has been released that can do it? I'd love to have the weather and news right on the desktop because I use Classic Shell for a start replacement and never see the live tile start menu anyway. Sure, there are still weather widgets and the hacky Windows Sidebar mod for W10, but a lot of the APIs those old widgets used no longer connect to the internet so I was hoping for something a little more recent.
