Windows 10: If you guys could stop releasing updates that break all 4 of my brand new production...

I have 4 PCs. A 10th gen i9, 2080ti 128gb beast. A 9th gen i7 1070. And two i5 workstations and the last 3 months have been an absolute nightmare hellscape of black screens instead of booting, drivers from sound cards to graphics breaking, reinstalling windows multiple times and i fucking despise your dev team with every fiber of my being. Personally from my heart. Fuck you.

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.

"New Folder" command creates 4 folders on Windows 10 Pro - July 2016 release

"New Folder" command (from windows explorer) creates 4 folders on Windows 10 Pro - July 2016 release. This issue however doesn't occur on Windows 10 Enterprise or on Windows 10 Pro - July 2015 release. Steps to reproduce:

1. Right click on C drive->Properties->Security->Advanced
   
2. Select "Authenticated Users" Principal and "Modify" access entry
   
3. Click on "Change permissions"
   
4. Select "Authenticated Users" Principal and "Modify" access entry
   
5. Click on "Remove"
   
6. Click on "Apply" or on "OK", it will pop up few security warnings, click "Yes" on all those warning messages.
   

Now create a folder on C drive root, it will create 4 "New folder" entries.
Ctrl+Shift+N behaves same, however from a command prompt it works fine.

Win 10 enterprise and earlier release (July 2015) of Win 10 Pro seems to be working okay.
