WinDrones, get ready to beta test Windows 10. Apparently they have been having trouble with Windows 10 driver updates, especially for Nvidia GeForce video cards. (M$ Hobbyware strikes again.) ~~ Microsoft Backtracks On Windows 10 Forced Updates In the wake of numerous reports of Windows 10′s forced updates causing problems with drivers, Microsoft has backtracked on the feature and has released a tool that allows you to block or uninstall updates that are suspected to be causing issues. ... Over the last few days, the Internet has been awash with reports of issues with Windows 10′s forced updates interfering with other applications, as my colleague Gordon Kelly reported here. Specifically, it’s the way it installs drivers, overriding any other driver-based update applications that are the issue, but the way in which Windows 10′s updates are automatically installed has also been rather unpopular with enthusiasts. In the past, Windows Update has been optional and you can select which updates to install. Not so with Windows 10 as by default it installs updates automatically and doesn’t allow you to deselect them and this is the same for both security-based updates as well as those for drivers. ... The ability to avoid all driver updates is potentially very useful as there’s no guarantee that the ones provided by Microsoft will always be the latest versions and also that they won’t cause issues such as those we’ve seen over the last few days between Windows Update and Nvidia’s GeForce Experience. ... You can download the tool from this webpage. I’m still investigating it in a pre-release version of Windows 10 – while it doesn’t seem to sync up with Windows Update and allow you to view and block updates before they’re downloaded, it does allow you see everything that has been installed and to both uninstall it and block future installs too. ... ~~ http://tinyurl.com/nwsye6p So, apparently, M$ will now allow you to fix problems caused by Windows 10 updates -- after the fact, not before they wreck your install. They're not really backtracking as this utility must be downloaded separately. (You're already having to download add-ons to make Windows 10 usable, where have I seen that before?) Even if you must use Windows 10 Hobbyware, I would definitely wait a few months while the forced "beta testing" process takes place. -- To WinDrones and iCultists obsessed with Linux. Get a life.
