Windows 10 Automatic Updates Start Causing Problems

Thanks, I don’t need Win 10, Win 7 operates my computer just fine and my programs I’ve installed.

I quilt and use a quilting program, and it is NOT going to be compatible with more than Win 7. It is at it’s max now. And I’m not shelling out another $200 for another program.

I hate when my phone updates it screws every thing up and I have to relearn to use my own phone. Samsung Note 3. I got it because of the external card and the large screen which vision impaired me needs.

I hate hitting web sites that use light blue print on a color background, I can’t read it. Give me plain old Black and White. And use a font size bigger than 8 pica.

Is the problem Windows 10,or is the problem NVIDIA's last two attempts at rolling out a working driver for Windows 10 has failed?

It's both. Forcing an update before a vendor can get their drives updated and pushed out is the problem.

I'm running the last bits of the Windows 10 Technical Preview and have received TWO driver updates from NVIDIA --- neither has worked with my multi-monitor (3..) setup.

So my Windows 10 box is sitting there with three monitors attahed with only one working properly.

Not helpful at all. Blame both Microsoft and NVIDIA for the problem.

Your post is exactly spot-on. Microsoft ignored its customers complaints when they moved Video and Memory handling inside Ring Zero and ever since then, a faulty video driver or memory over-run caused by a bad application causes a lovely BSOD.

Really stupid on Microsoft's part.
