I agree with that^

The old adagio says that mostly the problem is between the keyboard and the chair...(but this includes, obviously, also the developers). :nutkick:

Transition is never perfect of course problems appear but come on, some problems obviously got nothing to do with W10. There was a thread where some bonehead said "omg I upgraded to W10 and now I have viruses". It was clear that they had viruses because they were browsing pr0n sites.

Win10 doesn't play nice with my laptop's graphics :/

Things have shifted around from Win7, but overall I feel like its more of the same. Maybe I need to spend more time with it.

I've gone newer
Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10547

Drivers are immature too...

You'll need to use the Catalyst Omega drivers if you haven't already. I think they were the last to support HD 4###. Basically, if a driver is not available for Windows 10, try Windows 8.1 and baring that, Windows 7. It should work

I haven't gone around trying out the drivers yet, problem is not that bad yet. Everytime the PC goes to sleep/low power mode screen dies, have to reset. Will take a look when I have the time to do a full reinstall if I screw up.

It could also be the fast start up, which operates in a similar fashion to sleep, and has given many people trouble. Solution: Settle for old-fashioned shutdown and startup after disabling hyberfil.

I've heard about that. On Asus and Dell forums note/ultrabook users were complaining that sleep/shut down/reboot/turn off the display function is screwed. I've even seen that problem on one of the laptops myself. Pretty annoying. Another interesting thing that since the latest Win10 rtm build Intel updated their Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver 5 times! Seriously 5 times in just 1-2 weeks. And I'm not even talking about mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll which gets updated every .. duh week.

Some shit is fucked lol but nobody says a thing, only speculations. Lol I have to wait and see

My HDD suddenly stopped spinning intermittently with windows 10, I'm back to windows 7SP1 on my old laptop and there was nothing wrong with my HDD afterall.
Did you had the same problem as me?

Possibly the same problem, it was that slow. I tweaked all the power settings to never sleep or hibernate, but I may have missed the HDD setting, or W10 may turn it off regardless of the setting. Either way, it (Windows 10) sucks. A better name would be Windows Latest Crash Platform...

I'm having a problem with audio. Creative finally came out with drivers for my X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro, so I threw it in. It worked good for a while, then suddenly one day playing BFBC2 I lost all audio. I tried to reboot, nothing. It took reinstalling the drivers to get audio back. I continued to lose audio, although now rebooting solves the issue. I'm trying the Daniel K drivers, but it too made me lose audio at least once so far that I can recall.

Also, what the hell is this? Why am I seeing all these options? 192KHz? I was under the impression my card only supported 96KHz (although, 96KHz does become the highest setting if I select quad or higher, 192KHz only available for stereo). What about 32-bit audio? I didn't even know that existed. I thought my card was 24-bit...

Creative's Windows 10 drivers suck. Mine still constantly defaults to 5.1 when I have headphones plugged into the front jack. No matter how many times I set it to Stereo, on restart it reverts to 5.1

Just wait like, 2 years, then they might work properly.

hat · Sep 23, 2015

Thing is, I even tried the Daniel_K drivers, and still had issues. I even had issues with my audio completely disappearing with my onboard audio as well.

flmatter · Sep 23, 2015

Yes I am going back. Maybe attempt win10 when the drivers catch up, Maybe.

I am currently in the process of putting my laptop back to Win7 Pro, maybe 8.1 Pro. Win10 both the upgrade and clean install gave me 2 minute load times, wonky audio with games, wifi was borked too and killed the ability for me to turn off my track pad with the function keys, other issues too. Also I hated edge as a browser. So I started the process last night before I went to bed and downloading SP1 while I am at work. So I am going to keep 7 and 8.1 on my machines until Microsoft kills them like they did XP. maybe then there will be good offering from MS for an OS. FYI my laptop is a ASUS ROG G75VW with gtx660m gpu and 16gigs of ram with 2 1tb hdd installed. I may upgrade to an SSD this weekend if the price is right.

hat · Sep 23, 2015

That's one thing I'm afraid of is drivers. Wouldn't W10 just roll over whatever drivers we install in the way we're accustomed to via windows update?

I had that exact problem on my X-Fi Titanium when Win 8 came out. It was so bad that I took it out of my pc and put it in another pc running 7. Never figured out why audio would randomly cut out.

Just took that card out for good of the other pc after going to Win 10 since there was no Win 10 driver for it, and I won't be installing it back in either even if drivers are out.

It all sucks but you just have to wait I suppose
