Windows 10 problems anyone ?

[Kadri]

Because of the mandatory (!) free upgrade to Windows 10 i made the jump and had many problems.
Still not sure if the system works as it should be. The last crash was 2 hours ago.

That i had ones again a faulty hard disk problem didn't help too. Ones again a Seagate drive.
The failures in the 5 past years are more then i had in the last 25 years. All Seagate (last 5 years).

This is a very short description of the problems. The first day i upgraded 1 laptop and 1 PC to Wşndows 10.
They had no problems at all (still not much used the Laptop) except AVG and Commodo. Mostly Commodo especially.

But the last 7 days i struggled with my PC.

Strangely it is always my PC that is problematic We have now 4 Windows 10 builds in the house.
3 good ones out of 4 might be not so bad but why always my PC ?
If there wasn't the free upgrade time limit i wouldn't had upgraded at all for a long time.
If it works don't break...yeah

Anyway.

Did you had any problems?

Kadri,


I haven't had any kind of problems on my updates...........two desktops and a laptop. I always use Western Digital HDs, never had a problem with any of them. Seagates reputation for quality has kinda gone downhill from what I have read here and there. What exactly is causing the crashes..........any idea?

You are lucky

Yeah Seagate is bad in the last years.
Don't know the new drives. But mine were mostly from the bad era (3-5 years ago mostly).
The new hard drive i changed with the old one is a Seagate too unfortunately. Feels bad

Since 2-3 hours no crash. Saw a Nvidia opengl error log in the event viewer (but there were others too).
I have an onboard graphics card too that was always disabled.
Not sure but maybe when i tried to work out the earlier problem (hard disk) i might have changed some settings.

Still trying to settle everything.
Every upgrade had such problems with my PC. It settles down mostly with some new updates from Windows and-or drivers etc.

I won't do it, but stick to 7. If 10 is the last (I understand) and 7 is working perfectly, why 'upgrade' at all?

[Kadri]

Yes, if you don't need it there is no reason Ulco.

I play games on my computer too (any Steam users around?). Although not much as i used to.
So far i know Directx 12 is only on Windows 10.
In the coming years there will be much more games around that will use it.

It is just that i would have waited 1 year more at least for a more mature OS.

I've had Win 10 since it came out. Mine seems to be working fine. I was skeptical but the in the background automatic upgrade system has actually worked so far. Don't have to go hunting  for them or manually install. I like the fact that so far any upgrades happen during reboots but don't try to nag you to do a reboot NOW. They seem to play nice and just wait for the next normal reboot. Good when doing long renders.

Aside for hunting down various features I perennially use it's been fine and agree with fleetwood on:
"but the in the background automatic upgrade system has actually worked so far"

I have a problem when i installed Terragen 0.9.43 on my new computer with windows 10. I cant see the labels in the surface treeview. Only the treestructure. Anyone who can help me with that. When i try compatibilitymode XP for example it's the same thing. Only different look of the squares.

Do you use custom scale size in Windows 10 ("display settings+Custom scale size" more precisely)? Try with default if so.

No custom resolution. Using the default.

I had a automatic Windows 10 restart just while rendering lately.
Searched and found this. Hope this helps.
