Windows 10: NO windows 10 DHC drivers on gigabyte board

Hi guys

I bought a motherboard back in 2016 installed windows 8 and then in due course I was encouraged to upgrade to win 10.

I did and had no problem until installing updates after version 1804.
After that windows would run ok but would never recover from sleep, [requiring hard reboot] and getting power kernel 41 error in event viewer.
I tried everything to resolve this but when I contacted gigabyte about this they gave me the following reply

'Hello,

On the website specification, the board supports for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP.

GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

GA-970A-DS3P doesn't have Windows® 10 DCH Drivers

Therefore it doesn't support the latest Windows® 10 versions.'

My question is why, is there not an option from Microsoft to stop 'feature updates ' or at least a warning that this is an issue, ? and possible workaround or fixes. Just wonder whether gigabyte would be able to update the bios to have windows 10 dch drivers. is it a windows problem or gigabyte problem?

THanks

Hi thinktank25


Sorry I'm not following. Has someone told you you need to update to DCH drivers?

I have a laptop 2006 / 2007 vintage and it runs the latest Fast Ring in the Insiders program. Pretty sure it is not using DCH drivers. I don't update drivers unless I'm having an issue.

Not being able to sleep or wake from sleep is usually a driver issue. The most common being the video driver on several HP SFF in my experience.

You say you are on 1803, I assume you are keeping this level to avoid additional issues.
