The pantech driver from the website would not download.

 

Yes, Windows 10 has a driver problem. Most new operating systems do. Device drivers ultimately come from the device manufacturer and it takes time for them to properly understand the new OS and develop good drivers. Writing drivers for a complex device like a video system is not a simple thing. And if you get it wrong you have a system failure, not a failure localized to an individual application.

 

Creative in particular has always made very flaky drivers. As far back as Windows 98, there were nothing but problems... once you finally got them installed and configured right, you didn't want to mess with them.

 

I will not say faulty but rather generic drivers which only works with limited capacity. You should get the proper drivers from hardware manufacturer's website.

 

The worry is though that Windows Update may try and update a driver itself despite already having a manufacturers driver which is working perfectly well on Windows 10. Luckily it hasn't dealt me any of these rude shocks yet. I worry that my Nvidia GPU driver will get hit at some point. The driver is about 3 months old but works fantastically well, I see no need to change it unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Trouble is I know Nvidia release GPU driver updates every time the wind changes. And not all these driver updates work well. So I would hate MS to update these. I don't want to turn the feature off as it was very useful when I got a generic Bluetooth dongle. But I want the choice on whether to take a driver update.

 

There was an app released by MS before called "wushowhide" which is supposed to address this issue. Have a look at Brink's tut:
