Windows 10: Microsoft Fixes the Windows 10 Freezing Issues

I can live with the small freeze "But not to long" What i want fixed is the Case of the Constant missing hard drive "my movie HD" seem to have the flu when ever i have finished watching a movie in kodi or PowerDVD and need bathroom break i come back fire up kodi or PowerDVD and get no M:\ found hmmm only thing that works reboot its not to be found in Computer management either

 

Never had issues from the anniversary update. But since the last KB3176938, been seeing a random but infrequent display driver error (nvlddmkm). Thought it was the latest Nvidia driver I was on, so switched back to an earlier driver but the error still appears. Since this error only appeared soon after the KB3176938 update, am thinking it has something to do with it.

 

"nvlddmkm.sys" is the correct name for that and found on the GeForce forums as expected being an NVidia display driver that has seen a number of issues over the years! That has nothing to do with the latest update but likely having seen the WU go with the incorrect driver which seems to come up quite a bit with NVidia.

You may end up needing to refer to the guide on how at least temporarily disable the Windows Updates long enough to look up the correct update for what you have there as far as GPU or video card at the NVidia support site.

Beyond maybe a favorable price Why AMD FX ? My Haswell Core i5 sits at 32° 33° C *(even taxed to 100% on stock air ) you aint doing that with any AMD FX /APU 4 or more cores on the same workload that defies the laws of physics and AMD can't even do that unless you virtually submerge it with a water cooler and maybe not then *really

A new 4 Core Intel i5 on an SSD for SSD or metal for metal or in any case should make you think twice about an AMD Octa *8 slow cores* CPU on any drive even CPU boss has some of all that documented if one believes them and the widely accepted benchmarks there and an AMD at Core i3/i5/ i7 tit for tat or far above AMD with high cotton Intel Core i7 and certainly Xenon performance never happened and there virtually aren't any software or games optimised for AMD multi core scheduling anyway that might close the gap *a little *( that's part of the the implausible AMD FX fallacy vs Intel ) .*really





AMD II x4 955 -965 -980 performance variances are insignificant at stock clocks as are the Athlon II x4 to the Phenom II x4 outside of cache and none of them ever approached S.B. Core i3 gaming or single thread ,K10 are ancient room heaters like the FX is now .

IOW I can't see anthing beyond a plausible budget and energy compromise to get an AMD CPU/APU , they haven't had anything plausible performance wise vs Intel lately except briefly in 2009- 2010 until the Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs destroyed any plausibility of AMD being a performance part vs Intel , even the lowly core i3 beats TOTL room heating flagship FX 9XXX AMD octa cores today at single thread and gaming and some (other) ..

I'm convinced Intel is my CPU product preference as is it is on (finally) all 4 PC here now *really....YMMV . *Rolleyes



OTOH that old K10 PC served me decent for 6 yrs (with some drama ofc ) and deserves to be repaired and sold or given away to someone that may use it ,it has a new 1TB HD in it ,8GB Ram and I can fix it with another inexpensive mainboard or just a few ~ 6600uf 6 or 8v 105° C Panasonic,Nichicon or Rubycon low esr caps from Digikey or Mouser that are probably much better than what it had and puked.*really


All that freezing I didn't see on the intel PC's here is very plausible by itself in my AMD/ am3 K10 IIx6 upgraded HP PC with a known to be lousy and likely gradually and progressively deteriorating main board that principally performance wise all around , was why I was shopping this very Intel Core i5 Haswell PC model in my specs I,m using with 14395 on SSD right now when it fried anyway besides wanting the usual Intel advantages and superior performance ........,

keeping in mind there are a Core i7 game /audio content creation production build and my Core i7 HP Elitebook here so I can see the significant differences and lack of heat and AMD K10/AM3 /AM3+ AMD CPU and other drama by comparison outside of the new Nvidia gaming d/GPU that likes the extra cooling beyond what it comes with and likes the GPU overclocking managed properly .

Who knows where the AMD slot A and 64 X2 talent went ....you can perhaps bet they are long gone with more favorable stock options *really

Ancient K10 CPU ran nearly twice the temps of this Haswell core i5 at the same workloads .

While that makes a plausible argument for better cooling and mainboard (but the heat still has to flow somewhere ( air flows from cold to hot and pushes hot air out of a confined space if allowed to ) besides the AMD K10 was 95W CPU vs this Haswell Core i5 83 Watt TDP max and new vs old and so on .

AMD Phenom II x6 1055 I have in the old dog is plausible only at an Core I3 performance level today ( barely but otoh not bad but not for gaming against an Core i3 ) and won't approach a S.B. or newer newer Core i5 like almost anything AMD makes performance wise in the real world ,

Outside of (a few) heavily multithreaded and uncommon beyond 4 core workloads that were never intended for or optimised for AMD multi core CPU that you won't usually find in professional content creation high end gaming and rendering rigs instead of Intel because of all that stuff Intel can do with half the slow AMD FX cores faster and better than abysmally slow single thread AMD results across the board that sums up the implausibility of an AMD FX performance CPU today that an i3 -i5 -i7 can out game.
OTOH some AMD can be fine for some folks that last one I had wasn't bad for everyday computing .*really

 

I'm kind of feeling left right out. Why is it that I could not get any of those freeze-ups? It seems I'm always the one that never gets the fun things.

 

Don't feel bad! You're not alone in that area. *What*Roflmao2

I never seem to be able to run into half of the problems others seem to draw like magnets for some reason. After the initial extra storage being plugged in problem was seen last summer the only other main bug seen with 10 so far was a result of removing the clutter of folders now being seen in any explorer windows where one reg entry gets nuked for some reason only with the general release not Insider builds however.

With each laptop as well as desktop so far not one complaint about 10 being heard from the couple who saw the 10 upgrade from 8.1 go on and then the RS1 update not running any Insider builds and still they run 10 like it came on their laptops. One has an AMD and the other an Intel cpu with both of those running NVidia graphics while the new Toshiba I got in january is running with AMD/ATI. So you can't pin it on one brand or another!

 

Hi there *Smile

I don't wanna crossposting but I've opened a post HERE on this issue that the update of September 1st did not absolutely fixed.And all this with a clean install via Media creation tool of Win 10 Anniversary.
And I'm asking for help to you all *Sad.

 

One definitely is the loneliest number, so thank you Night Hawk for making it so that I'm not the only one in the Bermuda Triangle. You mention a magnet. Yes, that would present problems for some I suppose if some kid were to meander through a computer shop with a horseshoe magnet. Windows 10 and Windows 10 Anniversary Update is a dream as far as I'm concerned.

 

The only urk seen so far is with a 10 Home laptop I previously brought with me when visiting someone and now seem to only have one use of bringing along on any long trip. The connection at home as far as the temp updates and so forth since it had been left at the care facility as a rule had a problem trying to connect through the ISP's WiFi function of the combination modem here where I now will be testing the connection by way of the Cisco Linksys router I also have set up.

Once I used the sync tool the connection was instant and continual by way of the E2500 compared to the very limited range of the ISP modem! The test was conducted about 75ft or so from the modem to look at any possible WiFi leaks with the N type router that had only been seen previously with an old G type where passerbys could have access. *Eek*Confused*Mad The updated but now about 5yrs. old at this time router goes through all the set up motions as well as also being seen with the Team Viewer of adding a new device onto the network with a configuration tool.

 

Fixed the Freezing issues users had with KB 3176398, introduced Severe Performance Problems with Secondlife viewers though & Other OpenGL based games (Microsoft is supposedly investigating the issue though, so hopefully a fix very soon)

 

Do you mean KB 3176938?

 

Yes that is the KB I meant, brought Windows 10 from 14393.82 to 14393.105, and introduced this Severe Performance issue

 

That was the one before the Adobe Flash Player update and not a problem seen here at all with any of the updates since the RS1 went on. In fact I can leave an old 2001 game title sitting idle for hours and go back to it without any stalls. The same for a number of Steam titles as well as far as the gaming goes with 10.

 

Problem is FPS Drop with Firestorm Viewer and Other Secondlife Viewers and OpenGL games, tab out to something else, go back to Firestorm or Secondlife official viewer, and FPS will drop to 1.5/s or lower, which results in it being very sluggish, to point unable to type or move in the game, only fix is relogging, restarting PC or uninstalling according to Firestorm support the update, so far I haven't uninstalled the Update, but is temping a little bit

 

I think the problem is with the two 3rd party wares becoming outdated and not keeping up with the changes being seen in 10! Either they will need to patch their wares or release newer versions of same.

With addons like those often games will tend to run into snags at times. Found that out over time trying out various recording apps. OBS(Open Broadcaster Software open source app) and ZD Soft's Screen Recorder turned out to be the best in that category.(later paid for app with pause recording function not seen with other)
