bump
MSFT ping.
“Certain games” The unique attributes of those games affected should make troubleshooting rather quick. Businesses and non-gamers unaffected.
And Microsoft Updates were born...
I learned my lesson last year when I updated and found out my scanner no longer worked, even after I re-installed the scanner program and drivers. BTW anyone ever use itunes? My God, talk about hands down THE worst program ever created in the history of computers. I got an ipad from a friend and tried to put movies on it, absolutely impossible to figure out. You would THINK it would be so easy as to just have a button that says “Transfer files to ipad” but NOPE! I wasted over an hour before I finally gave up. I then download an alternative program from the internet completely unrelated to Apple and it worked perfect.
After the last upgrade my lap top locked up. Had to take it to a shop. Ended up they had to reinstall everything.
Fortunately my main computer is a VISTA and they are no longer screwing with it.
In the ooooold days we used to joke “Windows: your 386 will fly like a 286 running DOS”.

How could they keep doing this even if claimed it’s by accident? How can you accidentally make the transmission quit working because you tightened a fan belt? Why is there ANYTHING at all related to the transmission included in the procedure to tighten a fan belt?
This has got to be on purpose...
My brother had trouble getting windows 10 version 1809 install/upgrade and I told him to do fresh install that includes 1809 downloaded from Microsoft and it only took about 30 minutes . So with every new upgrade you have to do a fresh install ?
My last Win 10 update crashed my computer and lost all hard drive files - not good!
A Windows “upgrade” crashed my Photoshop Elements 15 and I still haven’t been able to get it working.
Shouldn't me much a problem, since hardly anyone uses either of those GPUs...
...(snigger).
Another vote for disabling Windows updates and installing them at your leisure (after others have been your canaries in a coal mine) with WSUS Offline.
Since I don't play games on my PC, I assume this won't affect me?
If I die during a guild raid, I’m gonna sue.
I quit buying new Microsoft computers and started buying used Apples. Life is much easier on the computer now.
WE are their quality control testers. The can turn out crap that people would never buy, so they give the crap away and our job is to find all the bugs.
At the article they cite several times last year where they messed up including deleting your personal files!
Just makes you want to upgrade to Windows 10
Or is that a big downgrade?
