We all know all about Windows 10’s most controversial feature, and Microsoft has now confirmed it has struck again…

Picked up by the ever-excellent AskWoody, the latest update for Windows 10 (patch KB4482887) has crippled gaming performance on the platform across both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Microsoft has now confirmed the problem and issued an official warning about the update.

“After installing KB4482887, users may notice graphics and mouse performance degradation with desktop gaming when playing certain games (eg: Destiny 2),” explained Microsoft, with the company saying it is working on a fix.

Needless to say, users are furious. Woody Leonhard highlights two threads on Reddit in particular (1,2).

Leonhard himself, also warns: “Is the problem confined to games? Highly unlikely, in my experience. It’s just that gamers notice bugs sooner than most of us.”

I should be able to run it as owner/administrator right? Been too busy multitasking this morning to try it on hers yet. Ran it on my Linux and trying to decipher what they are and do. This is where the homeWORK is going to come in. lol

Much appreciate it! I just want to get a low down on what all Win 10 is connecting to we don’t know about. I did this years ago on my Win 7 and it blew me away when I chased down everything that was actually connecting.

I closed quite a few of them. :)

Yeah, I think “owner” (which I think only exists on the Home editions) should be able to. Certainly “administrator” can.

Yes... It is a home edition so I figured we were good.

Thanks!
