There seems to be some strange truth to this despite one would think what does the drive's initialisation sector have to do with odd behaviour in your OS...but I went Google and ola...lots of hits...still strange but worth considering when troubleshooting uncatchable errors.

I had to revert my windows 10 to its state before the update. The problem I had was that DCS would regularly hang up and come to a complete halt. So severe was the hang up that I can't even stop DCS world using the task manager or forcing a shut-down. During the hang up the task manager reporting no use of CPU etc. but hard-disk drive use is and stays forever at 100%. Which is strange, since both my windows system and DCS are on SSD drives.

If you're talking about the Microsoft Anniversary Update (optional), DON'T get it. AVOID!

It totally screwed up my rig, every game got laggy and stuttery after I installed it, all this because of the Xbox-app and it's video recorder working in the background. What I did first was to disable the video recorder (DVR or whatever it was called, inside the Xbox-app). But that didn't really do much. I mean sure, things got smoother but not as smooth as before. So I reverted to my previous Windows version...and voila, no big change at all! (should have known those reverts never work).

So I reinstalled my whole rig on friday evening and now things are back to normal, no more stutters! To hell with Microsofts Anniversary Update I say - to hell with it! :)

Thanks.

Yes, I'm talking about the anniversary update:cry:

Nevertheless it has just influence on DCS. All other games work well.

Maybe you're right and switching off the video record will improve the performance.

Never had this problem after the Anniversary date. What are you running.

I agree.

I had the same experience with the Anniversary Update. I was able to revert back and set up my system so that that particular update DOES NOT get installed via auto updates. Anyone can read the blogs as regards the numerous problems people are having with that update. Even Microsoft has recommended a rollback until they can squash the many bugs contained therein. My specs are in my sig.

Hi. I had a lot of stutters in a lot of games until I changed all HDDs to GPT table instead of MBR.

 

Could you point me to information on how to check or do that?

Thanks,

Catseye, you can check it in the disc manager in the computer administration.

Also you can try to change the CPU affinity to 2-4 cores only. The sluttering can be caused by changing the core used for game in the time.

Updating OS especially Windows is always considered risky practise.

 

You are far better off just reinstalling an updated windows release every 2 years, they have the updates already integrated.

 

I never update, if I do I make a whole SSD clonezilla backup before, I also use WSUSOffline to customize exactly which updates to install, those that actually update things that could be of help and skip all the risky ones.

 

The whole idea that you just lay down, install and update windows, is just totally unrealistic, it never worked as advertised.

 

That's not to say this is how it should be and people should get used to it, it's that people should be more angry at microsoft and through the years the PC community is not as hardcore as it once was, the new generations are getting milktoast, Mircosoft should be seriously given criticism for broken updating system all the time.

 

I did suffer a hit a few months ago when I finally updated my March 2013 Windows 7 and there was about 80 updates, most of them totally useless but what the heck, now every time I run a .bat file, it's not closed properly by conhost.exe, so it can't be edited in notepad for a minute or so, massively impacting multitasking and productivity, a pile of total crap, and I have no idea how to fix it, I would have to uninstall all those 80 updates one by one to figure out which one it was.

You have to keep in mind how many Windows are running and how many run into problems. And the folks who don't update and who are not computer saavy are the ones that are adding to the DDoS problems/etc.

 

I feel your pain, but to tell people *not* to update is dangerous.
