We know all about Windows 10’s most controversial feature – forced windows updates, and Microsoft has now confirmed the process has struck again…
Microsoft warns users about problems caused by its latest Windows 10 update.
The latest update for Windows 10 (patch KB4482887) has crippled gaming performance on the platform across both Nvidia and AMD GPUs (Video Cards). Microsoft has now confirmed the problem and issued an official warning about the update.
“After installing KB4482887, users may notice graphics and mouse performance degradation with desktop gaming when playing certain games (eg: Destiny 2),” explained Microsoft, with the company saying it is working on a fix.
Needless to say, game playing users are furious. Now even non-gamers are asking if the problem is confined strictly to games? Highly unlikely, in my experience. It’s just that gamers notice bugs sooner than most of us.”
Which brings us back to Windows 10’s worst feature – windows updates: The moral of the story: Don’t go clicking Check for updates! That’s the only way you’re going get this “optional non-security” cumulative update.
Microsoft’s record with Windows 10 ‘seamless’ updates remains erratic at best. Even amongst its biggest defenders, Windows 10 has a “Software Quality Problem” and the last year alone has seen updates to the operating system cause serious problems in January, April, October, November and February 2019.
Yes, updates are essential to the long-term security and stability of Windows 10. But Microsoft needs to make them a lot more reliable if it plans to continue the company’s controversial policy of forcing them down the throats of computers worldwide.
