Windows 10: Today's MS Updates kill apps

Hi there

As I said

AMD = A M(onumental) D(isaster).

INTEL for all it's monopoly pretensions does actually WORK and I've never had any problems whether on Windows or Linux with INTEL chips or Graphics.

I've never had any problems with the AMD card up till now.

 

The Catalyst drivers have always been horribly bloated.. and their control applications have been ungodly slow and clunky.. nothing but problems for me every time I've ever used them.. usually I just stick with the basic drivers and don't install the catalyst drivers.

 

I agree.. AMD makes a nice processor and for the price/performance it's hard to beat.

 

I agree with you both. I'm running build 9926 daily with a dozen of programs and games without a single problem. The impact of the updates over a specific system stability depends of a lot of variables, and fatally some systems may have problems. Anyway I hope they fix such issues as fast as possible.

~edit~

AMD used to have excellent CPUs in the past and were very competitive. I wouldn't like to see it disappearing from the market.

 

I've not been into 10 for a few days so I opened my VM and started 10, I usually suspend the system after a session. The first thing I did was go check Windows Update and there were a few updates so I let them install.

Everything seemed to be OK but after they all installed OK I can no longer open IE, clicking on the icon brings up a box telling me there is an application error, can't remember all the numbers now but there were a lot of zeros and number 18 at the end.

I'm back in 8 now till I find a solution so if anyone's got any ideas can you let me know, this is the first time I've had any problems with updates on any of my OS's so was a but flummoxed.*Huh

 

AMD still makes excellent processors and my A4-4000 is great and I plan on getting an A10-6800K in March. From my experience AMD has never let me down and they're hard to beat for price/performance. Intel are also nice chips but the price is too high for me to afford.

 

Ok so today things seem to be working. When I came out of 10 yesterday I shut the OS down instead of suspending it in the VM, today I've opened the VM and started 10, after it finished booting up the first thing I did was click the IE icon on my Taskbar, lo and behold it started up with no error messages.

I came here first to update everyone, we'll see how things go from here but it seems like the old favourite, a reboot cures a lot of glitches. I had started 10 today with the intention of un-installing the IE updates but I may not have to now. *Wink

 

Glad to hear it's working again. *Smile

 

Thats some advice for him then.

 

Hi there

all worked for me on a number of machines - VM's and physical. Office 2010 updates as well.

I have the Radeon 6850 and the screen was real dim then this last build 10049 fixed it.
