bolek Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I am having several problems since updating. One is that often (but not always) windows taskbar shows up on top of DCS (I run DCS with native resolution with the "full screen" option unchecked). The other problem is that sometimes DCS does not want to start all. The DCS process shows up in the task list but the GUI does not come up.

The other problem is that sometimes DCS does not want to start all. The DCS process shows up in the task list but the GUI does not come up. I had this behavior when I found out later it had to do with serial number checking. I finally simply deleted the DCS dir and installed a new fresh one (I have my 'Saved Games' profiles all backed up to two dozen or so back-versions). It seems 'the GUI does not come up' is a hidden state where a broken SN check is performed - and abandoned -, so somehow the link to the SN's in the registry are broken. | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen |

cobragva Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Lost everything The worst update ever from microsoft. I did stuck my pc into constant reboot so i had to totally reinstall windows amd my pc. My suggestion : wait couple weeks before upgrading
BitMaster Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 The worst update ever from microsoft. I did stuck my pc into constant reboot so i had to totally reinstall windows amd my pc. My suggestion : wait couple weeks before upgrading Usually caused by AntiVirus and/or lots of USB devices connected. Deinstall the 1st and unplugg the later and try again if you happen to find yourself again in a reboot loop. Win10 upgr-routine should have fallen back to the current build and not force you to reinstall. I had about a dozen o broken Win10 upgrades but ALL fixed themselves with rollback to previous build ( the one it wanted to superseed ). Never any issue on many diff. machines.

Fri13 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Everything went fine, just having problems to get use to the new startmenu, again..... Why they can't learn that people don't want to get things changed all the time? Would like to see a individual wallpaper for each virtual desktop, but those are just little nitpickings.

chaos Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 No issues encountered on my crappy 5 year old laptop. The install took a long time (an hour?) and my laptop tends to blue screen every once in a while due to hardware problems so I was a little nervous doing it. Oh well... I have an i7 6700, 32GB, GTX980 with 2 950 pro SSD's in a laptop waiting for me. Playing DCS is going to be sweeeet as of next week. :D. (excuse me for boasting... it's been like living in a dessert for the past 4 years). I have high hopes that Win10 will not let me down. "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
EntropySG Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I upgraded and had no problems whatsoever. I noticed my PC being a bit more snappy and overal faster. Before the update, it spent about 1 min on the blue login screen, now it doesnt do that anymore and overal startup time is super fast. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

xaoslaad Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 4 computers out of 5 (between mine, my girlfriends, and a friend) the install went fine. The 5th was a royal pain and I had to remove the disks for storage, vm's, and backups, leaving just the system disk and install the update, then add the other disks back and fix my stuff. No problems whatsoever with DCS:W and even noticed disk utilization go down after I did the disk clean up and removed all the old system files.
Dinga Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Well I do not want any problems so I ticked "defer updates", so you only get the critical ones. While it may not play up, I have seen enough posts here to make me wary of it for now. So thankyou all for the heads up. Edited August 10, 2016 by Dinga
Weedwacker Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Same problems here, Mig21 reactivation (not really a big deal for me) but the alt+tab is interminent now and will sometimes now even work or just leave the taskbar up.
