i was just looking into how to disable that, since i've got shit internet - the updates starting made the net unusable here.

You can set the connection as metered to stop them downloading, but its definitely annoying to do so.

In My humble Opinion this is a backwards step for Micro(insert expletive of choice)
All this will again in my opinion raise the prospect of massive piracy of Micro(insert expletive of choice) Products
When a Hacked Version come to the T****t world it will be siezed upon with glee
no one wants Micro(insert expletive of choice)/NSA /gchq /Adobe to have Control of our Hardware and Bandwidth.

I can only imagine how much longer it took you to type that instead of just saying Microsoft like youre some 12 year old with a grudge and think a business about making money is just in it for the money.

about as long as it took you to think of a riposte and to type it as a reply

If anyone is using a motherboard with Analog Devices SoundMax (like my ASUS Rampage II Gene), you may want to check out this driver:
https://rejzor.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/adi-soundmax-blackhawk-audio-driver-6-10-2-6585/

It's the latest I could ever dig and it comes with SonicFocus audio enhancements which are pretty darn good. And best of all, I've just tested it on Windows 10 64bit and it's working perfectly.

Hm, any idea why it says I have DirectX 11.3 on the status page of the dxdiag? Shouldn't it be DirectX 12 ? On Display tab however says Feature level 12.1 (and all the older ones). Hm...

I don't know. For me it says 12 on the system tab, and on the display tab 11.0,10.1,10.0,9.3,9.2,9.1

EDIT
What driver are you using?
I'm using http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/86510

MrGenius · Jul 17, 2015

Apparently it does have something to do with the driver. Or the driver model. With 15.3 beta WDDM 1.3 it says DX 11.2 on the system tab with my 280X. But with 15.7 WHQL WDDM 2.0 it says DX 12 on the system tab. With either driver the feature levels on the display tab are the same, 11.1, 11.0, 10.1, 10.0, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1

I've already removed this crap called windows 10. For me at least Linux is easier to use the Windows 10.

Windows 7 FTW

RejZoR · Jul 18, 2015

Ok, Windows 8.1 Intel SATA RST drivers can be installed on Windows 10 without any problems. eBoostr for hybrid HDD+SSD caching is also working just fine, Paint.NET works fine, MusicBee works fine, 7zip works fine. Looks like majority of stuff works the same as on Windows 8.1 even though no one mentiones any compatibility with it.

Only thing that I've noticed is the "Edit" context menu option for images. Before I could have Windows Image Gallery for image viewing and Paint.NET for editing. Now it's always locked t MS Paint which is a bti stupid so I have to strictly use "Open with" menu. A bit annoying but oh well...

Need to try MSI Afterburner if it works fine...

afterburner forgot a bunch of settings when upgrading for me, but otherwise works exactly the same as 8.1

My big complaint is only one of my games works on win 10.

what games don't work? i havent ran into a single game that worked on windows 8.1 that won't run in windows 10

ChevyOwner · Jul 18, 2015

GTAV, World of Tanks, Planetside2, and I don't remember the other ones I tried. Skyrim worked, but ran horribly with less then half the performance from win7.

I have two Win 7 devices, two Win 8 devices going at the moment and none of them get the Windows 10 update notification. I even tried the registry hacks to force it and that's no joy either.

RejZoR · Jul 18, 2015

Anyone has any idea why the hell is opening Image galery when viewing individual images from disk? Most of the time it's just opening that image, but here and there out of the blue it opens a full photos app with all the images from Pictures folder and that's super annoying.

Also, how the hell can I turn off Lockscreen!? I've disabled allt he settings, disabled ask for password and allt hat crap and when monitor goes off, after you move the mouse, Lockscreen is always there and I have to click my account icon.

Did you install the optional updated that are also needed?

R-T-B · Jul 19, 2015

I'm about ready to give up on 10. It's not that I don't like it... I do! But microsoft is actively working to break workarounds to "fix" (as in neuter) auto driver updates. They've even gone so far as to deliberately break group policy keys that should manage this... If I don't find a legitimate fix soon, I'm out.

Microsoft seriously has their head up their ass if they think this is going to be accepted...

jboydgolfer · Jul 19, 2015

I ran 10 on one of my mains a while back,and even if I ignored the issues with gpu drivers for my 6950,and the forced updates, I still see no reason to leave 7....but I'm not the kind of person who has the time to babysit my pc.

Microsoft...call me when it does what I want it to,maybe then I'll reinstall it.

Until then,let the "gotta have its cut its new" run it.....save your Direct X 12 comments.please

God I hate auto correct....another instance of someone else thinking they know what I wanted ffs.

R-T-B · Jul 19, 2015

I think I may have developed a custom registry hack. It's kludgy, and technically just breaks windows update's drivers portion alltogether (other parts work fine) but it does what I need. Anyone want info on it?
