Windows 10: latest update problems

19 days ago i was having issues with performance but that was fixed with a simple GFX drv reinstall and it was problem free. Now noticed Win10 had updates pending, kb4088776 & 4088785. installed fine, restarted ok but now i'm getting intermittent freezes, when trying to select files by click drag highlight the cursor will stop responding and me selecting files will freeze for a sec. right clicking on desktop takes a sec for menu to show and u can feel it lag

i've DDU the GFX drv and installed fresh, didn't help.

forget gaming, i'm seeing frametime spikes into 30k's + in Path of Exile, i'll run and freeze, or kill a mob pack freeze and get killed by second pack

these damn M$ updates are pissin me off

help before i format and install win 7

edit; just did a right click ->nvidia control panel = tries to open, get a loading cursor icon, forced to hard restart

latest update problems

Hi Greg. I've had it with microsoft and their updates. If I could bill Bill at microsoft for ALL the hours I have spent trying to fix ALL the issues Windows 10 updates have caused, I would have a very nice retirement. Hear that Mr. Gates? I have just
uninstalled AGAIN THE CUMULATIVE UPDATE VERSION 1709 however the problems with my home page, notifications, blinking virtual agent which prevents me from using her and not able to 'type here to search' in home are still issues. I don't have a clue where to
begin even though you have provided me with numerous pages of links. I have no desire to invest any more of my life attempting to FIX problems that microsoft has created. The least MS can do is either fix my computer via remote or reimburse me for my time
to fix ms's failures.

I have decided to revert back to Windows 7 Pro that caused me no problems whatsoever. So, would you please provide instructions on how I can GET RID OF WINDOWS 10 and reinstall Windows 7 Pro? Thanks again for your help.

 

Check and see if the graphic driver is signed by Microsoft, if it is, change to the evga driver you previously used that is not signed by Microsoft...

 

i always use nvidia's drivers

just ran a map in path of exile, didn't freeze but it wasn't smooth like before, and scrolling website FF 59.0.1 feels like i'm low on mem

edit; had to reboot, tried PoE and it's back to stuttering, some freeze.

edit; 2d performance is worse, takes a few seconds to open pictures, few reboots to play PoE, it's like the 1070 isn't getting initialized
edit; even skipping a youtube video by 10 seconds freezes the video + mouse while sound plays
