It took half day to install it on a hard disk.:mad:Microsoft:mad:
Took me less than an hour to do a full install on a W.D. blue, sounds like you have other issues.
I must be the only one happy so far with the latest version.

You're still running a hard drive? Well then, there's your problem. Your should be running an SSD.

This month's security update took some hours on my SSD. My theory is that Microsoft uses some really heavy compression.

Oh come on, let's be real. It shouldn't take half a day no matter the storage type.

That’s unfortunate. I hope he may still put effort into them and will correct them.

Just got to installing this earlier... And there seems to be some sort of bug for just Guildwars 1 or other DX9 games where it kicks me to desktop before loading up the next map everytime i re-zone,

I havent played any other games so far but its semi annoying since ive recently started playing guildwars 1 quite regularly again.

-- Ive updated my drivers to the most recent Nvidia ones just incase the windows update borked something but the problem still persists.

Its like its de-initialising then re-initializing the 3D hardware every time i load into a different area.


:EDIT:

It seems i have semi fixed the issue by turning off focus assist within the windows settings. Instead of being kicked to desktop for 2-3 seconds. I just get a quick flash of my desktop then im back into the game again

::EDIT2::

Guildwars 2 straight up refuses to start. Updated my gpu drivers and everything but nothing I do works. Currently in the process of rolling back the 1803 update

Benchmark Scores it sucks even more less now ;)
We shall see what this update does internally. I really do not care for features more for whats new under the hood. Every edition allways installs some wierd game or crap no one wants. Like the first update to orginial I called it the Candy Krush edition because it install that stupid game without asking if I wanted it. Fall edition I called disney makeover edition.

It does not install Candy crush but only a place holder to the download page on the store so please quit with the BS MS bashing and it takes all of 2 seconds to right click it and tell it to be gone

This month's security update took some hours on my SSD. My theory is that Microsoft uses some really heavy compression.
only took 20 mins including the reboot on my 2 cheapo Kingston V300 120GB SSD's in RAID0
