windows 10 v 2004

[Regeneration]

Windows 10 is just getting worse. New colors look bad, and when you change to dark theme it changes everything.

Microsoft still pushing junkware (Candy Crush Soda, Bubble Witch 3, March of Empires and some 3rd party apps) to clean home edition installations.

Still 2 control panels, still installs drivers automatically without the user's permission.

Lenovo T430s + Quadro K1200 eGPU over Thunderbolt1, so overall a pretty weird system: Upgraded in place with no issues, and even fixed the issue I had with the start menu search function malfunctioning.

Dell 9570 update available, x570 - not ready yet.

My monitor is an AOC AGON AG271QX freesync, running on a GTX1080Ti. Freesync/G-sync compatible mode is enable by driver only - there are no controls in the monitor's menu.

Since the 2004 update, after installing Nvidia drivers, Freesync/G-sync compatible mode is enabled by default and disabling it no longer works.

Tried a couple of versions of Nvidia drivers but the issue remained.

I had to unplug and re-plug the monitor cable for it to disable. Slightly annoying.

Just done a fresh install of 2004 on a dell ivy bridge lappy i3 (was on 8.1) all seems good and it activated as well, the only thing i came across was i had to turn legacy booting off and uefi boot on, as it had installed but couldn't find a boot drive.

Does ANYONE do benchmarks, pre and post updates anymore, TPU or otherwise? Or is it all feels per second and RGB now?

Sure do, but as I said no performance increases here.

should one do a clean install before applying these updates?

Nope. You should be fine without clean install.

I prefer clean installs, must admit they do feel quicker/sharper than an updated install, but what ever is your preference (you can always do a clean install if your not happy later)

Alternatively there's always system reset.

After update my experience is prety much the same. Didn't notice anything unusual

 

[xtreemchaos]

Yeah it took more than an hour to dl and install it on my laptop. And I'll have to repeat this for my VM at some point, oh the horror.

 

[xtreemchaos]

about the same time here about a hour for the lappy "MSI GP72MVR Leopard Pro" and 40ish minutes for the 7700k and 2700x.

Beware crunchers and folders.

It appears to reset power management settings of it's own accord ,might have been an update to it but my pc went into hibernation.
Absolutely s##£ myself because I thought it had died right before me.
I never let it switch off, on for life, crunch forever.

Hi,
Yeah too early for me personally
Probably in a month or two I'll simply mount a iso and be done with it.

No it is don't care per second.

 

[Rock N Roll Rebel]

well I install a bunch of stuff games and utilities all seems to be working so far got a bunch more to install

 

[bonehead123]

At my office, we have over 450 relatively current/up to date machines, both lappies & HEDT's, running 2004 nottaproblemo, although they were upgraded by the IT dept using their preferred imaging process..... these are heavy duty 3D CAD/CAM rigs as well as general accounting/payroll/admin uses....

A bit different at home though, I am still gonna wait a week or so, since all 4 personal rigs have been running perfectly for over 2 years now (with all other recent updates too), and I don't wanna mess that up

None of these have an effect on home, and many need enterprise or education skus.

For sure.

 

[Regeneration]

ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate works on all SKUs.

DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures doesn't work at all. All of the junk needs to be removed manually.

Works fine on my enterprise deployments at my business. You need to do it in the image or before first internet contact though, and it is enterprise/edu only.
