one thing i'm curious about.. when you say reactivating win 10, do you mean you're using ms account as login and basically using the old win10 from your previous machine... or do you mean the asrock mb is brand new and you've activated a new win10 on it, but then had to swap out the mb?

wouldn't the lidar/radar do better than human eyes in fog? or at least the radar. of course what they can do with the information is another matter...

sure, the lack of upfront info is an issue. thing is, inexperienced users won't get hit by this as inexperienced users generally don't touch check for update and let it all be done automatically (as ms intends). the only people screwed by this are those who know just enough to play blocking or modding stuff but not enough to know how to fix things. and as i said, i don't think it says anywhere that this supersedes the insider program. i'm thinking this is a second layer of tes

not sure what's wrong with this. this just means most people won't get anything but b. they probably would get better press if they call c & d beta patches or something. not entirely sure they are correct to say the c & d stuff didn't go through insiders 1st.

there's no such thing as 32 or 64 library. (presumably referring to program files and program files x86). steam installs things where you tell them to install them and it doesn't really matter what they are labelled, it's just a name. doesn't affect whether they are run as 32 bit or 64 bit as that's determined by what the exe is compiled as.

bear in mind how linux distros have similar upgrade patterns. of course, they are different in that it's not forced and they tell you upfront that if it's working, you don't need to bother changing. or how chrome os is updated every month, though that's a lot less complex with less hardware variations.

funny thing. i put machine to sleep last night after using 1809 all day. wake it up this morning and monitor was still asleep XD forced shutdown with power button and boot went fine. though kinda oddly, it didn't scream problem at POST (normally it'll say problem at last boot and change the memory clock to not xmp and i'll have to go into bios and change it back) forgot to say, i didn't reboot or shutdown all day after upping to 1809 (aside from sending it to sleep) and the la

let's put it this way. tdr issue apparently existed since win 7 or 8 and still not necessarily fixed in win 10. not really related to their issue, but still. probably some obscure thing that's difficult to find because of all the backward compatibility stuff that they haven't gutted out after all these decades. just upped to 1809. so far so good... but i haven't actually done a thing with it

can't say i've ever had the screen going black from just doing stuff. the few occasional times it happened (been a while since i last had one) was exiting fullscreen (1080p) game to 4k desktop (or alt tab). something to do with tdr..

not sure i understand... you are saying black screen because stuff is being sent to a "wrong" monitor/port but you still get a cursor with that? i have nvidia. i occasionally get a no signal to monitor thing (it literally goes to sleep... so no cursor there XD) when cold booting.. (though i've seen it when waking from sleep once or twice). a forced shutdown and start up fixes that for me. which is probably a different issue to yours. i tend to not shutdown nowadays (and use sleep inst

[quote who="Uvah" reply="10" id="3720276"] Well, seems I was wrong. I got the update this morning and something weird happened.
