MicroSoft Conspiracy?
Anyone else having their PC to stupid things lately? Some minor security update the other night but then after a day or 2 started getting video tearing, like when a ram chip going flaky, but only in full screen mode. Started looking around on the web and I was directed to change the v-sync from application control to video driver control and to disable the XBox task bar. Well one of the 2 did it. Then I'd come back in and my PC acted like it was coming out of sleep, sure enough MS set the sleep to 2 hours, I never sleep my PCs, they are always on. Then the video tearing came back and I looked at the display drivers and somehow refresh was set to 59p instead of 60p.
Gee, my computer is acting up right before Win11 comes out, where my CPU is too old for the upgrade, maybe I should go ahead and buy a new one. Hmm.... Yeah, I think not |

My system works fine. Been blocking updates since it was installed though. Saw a couple of back to back updates blocked recently in notifications. Only had me wondering what possible updates they could be needing on a system as old as this. Guess now I know

it's not always about the hw it's running on, it's about the SW. Why are you blocking updates? not worried about security or compatibility issues?

I never auto install the updates, but set it so that I have to authorize them. Most of the optional updates are what causes problems for me, so I tend to skip them.

This might be because we have a production environment and short on staffing so a problem that takes us five hours (if we are lucky) to troubleshoot is a problem. Even restoring a disk from an image takes a machine out for hours. I actually maintain an exact clone of my machine - an identical machine with the same OS and set up. If my machine, disk or system takes a shit, I’m back up and running in about ten minutes. |

We were never allowed to install any automatic updates on most of our systems until they were throughly vetted.

Updates reinstall applications I have chosen to uninstall. There is no security or compatibility issue with applications that don't exist. My concern is with being repeatedly forced to uninstall those things.

You haven't fully uninstalled them. Sometimes you'll need to find the app in sevices.msc, stop the service, then uninstall. It's rare, but does happen.

Right, because security vulnerabilities only occur in applications, never in device drivers or the operating system itself.

I have been trying to install Pinnacle 23 for an hour and every time it gets 25% downloaded I get the message that I have lost Internet connectivity. Router tests out fine and no other connection issues. Thoughts?
