Windows 10 Release 1909
Windows 10 Release 1909
Search for the disable win 10 driver update... It’s not overly complicated but it’s somewhat concealed, so I used idr. Alternatively, you might try installing SU10... It’s a genuine tool; just pick "disable automatic windows driver updates" and then reinstall your previous driver (if available) at https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10 in October 2019 on a laptop without any issues. It performs better than 8.1, all issues resolved, and everything is functioning smoothly. This wasn’t my first transition from 8.1 to 10—I’ve experienced better results since then. People often complain about old Windows files being stored in separate directories, which you can clean up with a disk cleaner. Everything else remains intact except for registry entries, which is nice because the old software still works. Windows automatically removes outdated drivers and incompatible tools, replacing them with new ones. Maybe I just have good days? 😊
There’s a lot concealed here. Switching to safe mode feels completely out of the ordinary. I’d never discovered it on my own—it seems they’re discouraging its use.
Not really. Consider Linux – many configurations can only be done via the command line, since no one ever makes a GUI for them. Building a GUI for everything requires a lot of effort and would scare most users if the control panel offered thousands of options. Especially when those choices might later cause issues (like disabling driver updates and then getting frustrated after a week because updates fail). People generally prefer flexibility over overwhelming complexity. Programs such as OO ShutUp 10 act more like collections of registry shortcuts or hidden settings, not something for everyday users. And it’s not necessary for Microsoft to create every possible tool; third-party solutions can work well if they’re solid.
I avoid thinking about Linux and completely understand that point. Contrasting the Linux interface with Windows 10’s feels like criticizing Microsoft harshly—saying people working randomly for free and competing are just as effective as anyone else is quite a strong statement.
This situation could lead to financial struggles in the future. A skilled developer with extensive experience might earn less than someone simply washing dishes, since "good programmers work for free" (and no one offers such a service). I have mixed thoughts on this concept. It's pleasant when programmers develop or build small tools, but creating entire operating systems or complex software is challenging. I wouldn't want to work in a company that faces bankruptcy because many people offer similar services at no cost. Still, it's better to be a programmer than a graphic designer. Apologies for the previous comment.
Did you notify the GPU manufacturer about the issue? Nvidia, AMD, or Intel typically don’t check this forum for problems. For such cases, Microsoft provided a tool to block driver updates temporarily: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...-in-window. Just select the driver you wish to exclude and it won’t install.
Check the connection for the relevant article that discusses these updates and their impact. Updating your BIOS/UEFI and CPU microcode can help restore performance, especially if the motherboard supports the affected parts or you opt to upgrade your CPU for better speed.
I'm encountering many similar problems for Windows 1903, but not as many for 1909. It seems I might have confused the years. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techpow...rios%3famp However, I remembered reading something about it here too, along with several Reddit discussions (though I can't locate them now). I thought there might be a thread about this, but it appears only one post exists. As I mentioned before, I tested it myself—performance was poor for both 1903 and 1909, though the power plans did work occasionally, which is unusual since they normally auto-downclock my CPU in my current version (1803). Even if it's not common, it looks like there could be an issue with those years. I won't upgrade anytime soon; the next update is planned for the end of the year. P.S.: Windows 1903 also removed my surround sound settings, and they didn't return even after restoring to an older version—very puzzling! At least my performance improved afterward.
