New Windows 10 update requires you to uninstall Steam. You can't continue to use W10 without updating as you all know, since it forces you to update and will reset your computer even if you are using it after waiting long enough.
Today its Steam, tomorrow it'll be whatever else Microsoft doesn't like. Congrats on installing an operating system that literally forces you to uninstall programs whenever it feels like or it stops working.
If only Valve wasn't complete shit and made a Linux distro that wasn't total garbage and kicked the shit out of AMD and NVidia to write some motherfucking drivers.
>but you can reinstall them after the upgrade is done
wow it's fucking nothing
Ian Roberts
dis good
Robert Fisher
Which update are you trying to install?
Blake Wright
Steam uninstalling? Won't that remove the entirety of their steam library. I know when i made the mistake of uninstalling i thought it would just remove the client itself and not the entire installed game library.
John Stewart
You have to be the most heavily cucked Microshill I have ever seen
Robert Miller
It saddens me that people like you still exist in this world.
Nolan White
>A completely unrelated third party program must be removed to update windows 10 Sure thing pajeet. It totally has nothing to do with valves criticism of microsoft and trying to push linux more. Microsoft totally isn't going to use updates to silence programs they don't approve of.
Ethan Cruz
Glad to see Microsoft taking out the DRM trash. Are they /our guy/?
Parker Phillips
Holy shit I was about to move to W10 for my Ryzen1600 build, thank god I'll stick to W7. P.S: Does DX12 impact Ryzen a lot compared to DX11?
Evan King
No, you can delete the entire Steam root folder and without losing your games as long as you leave "steamapps" untouched. The games will still be there when you reinstall Steam.
Daniel Richardson
>Just gonna keep using my shit OS >It's okay that it does stupid shit I can just fix it!
Logan Brown
It works for me, dude
Brandon Nelson
this
Xavier Barnes
Wow. They just keep coming up with new ways of being terrible.
Nathaniel Ward
>It's okay that it does stupid shit I can just fix it! It literally sounds like you're describing any gnu/linux distro
Luke Johnson
>update to creators >didn't prompt me that it was uninstalling anything >steam works fine after update
works for me :^)
Christopher Jackson
hahahahaha >this faggot browses Sup Forums and still hasnt installed shutup10 to defer upgrades until he pleases and block the rest of all the other bullshit
Aiden Nguyen
Worked without uninstalling Steam for me. If it's real, I would want to know what uninstalling Steam would even help it do
Isaac Brown
No it doesn't.
Evan Sanders
Depends on what GPU you are using. NVIDIA can't into DX12
Ayden Sanchez
RX 480
Jordan Bell
I didn't need to uninstall Steam just to update Windows.
Charles Parker
I can't find any record of this anywhere else on the internet.
Seems like a fake by the OP
Colton Lopez
Then DX12 might be worth it
Andrew Clark
>It's okay that it does stupid shit I can just fix it!
so you mean Linux? Windows is still a trash OS but at least choose a better argument
Zachary Wood
>force removal of degenerate trash good
Adrian Wilson
so just reinstall them after the update?
Gavin Bennett
I installed Creators Update today, and it didn't ask me to uninstall Steam.
You must have done something gay to your computer, OP.
Colton Sanchez
The OP literally faked the image and baited everyone into this thread. It's fake news
Ayden Nguyen
This is pretty much Microsoft today.
Sebastian Richardson
I'm using windows 10 pro and I disabled the update service no problem
Carter Reed
He's just a time traveller.
Kayden Cruz
This is because Microsoft's "feature" updates are fucking retarded and are actually full blown OS reinstalls. You loose all win32 installs because the registry is blown away.
What I'm more concerned about is my LTSB install is suddenly pushing creators update shit at me.
Connor Torres
This means they want to protect their game profits. This means Microsoft now only makes profit on enterprise and gamers.
An ever shrinking company bound to one day fail. I cannot wait until that day.
Christopher Rivera
Until you must continually do it after every update. Also, if they do this, imagine one day it being much worse. Come over to Linux already, nigger.
Jeremiah Williams
windows 10 threads need to be banned from Sup Forums
Juan Adams
Not the Windows 10 thread denouncing Windows, jackass. We need to only ban positive Windows threads.
Luis Reyes
Thanks nigel
Blake Green
I don't belive Microsoft is this retarded. Any link ?
Nicholas Brooks
Remove my privacy worth it? Just curious.
Nathaniel Scott
No, at least not so far
Nicholas Smith
How does Microsoft keep fucking up so bad? All they had to do was tweak 7, new direct x support, throw a black gaymen skin on it and normies would have shelled out hundreds for it.
Gabriel Gutierrez
Windows 7 is still a better alternative to 10.
Chase Jenkins
Well firstly this is a fake screenshot and story.
Secondly, 'subscription service','cloud', and 'advertising platform' were the buzzwords flying around microsoft's board meetings. They saw the money around targeted adverts and decided they wanted some of that, so they are turning windows into a platform for collecting information and delivering ads.
Expect over the next few years for the transformation of windows to be into a facebook-like advertising platform as a subscripton service, putting more shit online, integrating with microsoft clouddrive so that people can't just quit their service and go to linux.
Xavier Nelson
Stick with 7/8.1 or dual boot into linux. After trying it out I'm not touching windows 10 and their updates, their updates are full OS reinstalls so fuck that noise.
Carson Cox
What's the technical reason for this?
Thomas Gonzalez
see this:
Lucas Hall
Nice try, ghost of Jobs
Samuel Rodriguez
You're aware that almost all of Win10 telemetry is already backported to the Win7? If your Win7 installation is up to date then you have forfeited your privacy a long time ago.
Tyler Myers
Removable on 7. Can't remove on 10. There are enough paranoids out there with offline installers for 7 and even 8.1.
Xavier Foster
fake news
This must be some insider build shit, I'm using a 10 laptop with steam on it right now and just checked for updates again. nothing.
10 still sucks though
Ryan Anderson
You need to be banned from living, shit for brains.
James Hughes
Why, can't handle the fact that everyone is as fucking retarded as you?
Jack Reyes
>all these fucking retards falling for op's bullshit
You all deserve to be gassed.
Hunter Perez
wut
i just did the update and didn't have to do this shit
Landon Hernandez
No, it sounds like he's describing Windows you fucking faggots.
Noah King
It's good that I can choose when to upgra-
Oh..
Cameron Reyes
Yes. Many games don't use anything but dx12. Windows 10 is better than 7/8 in everyway. The only complaints valid about it are also valif of 7/8. So either stop using Windows or don't be a faggot and use the moet up to date version. Really user? You need a source instead of just blindly believing every antiwindows10 post? Please just blindly believe op like the rest of these retards
Jason Gray
Why am I still running 1607 with no prompt to update?
Ethan Long
>You can't continue to use W10 without updating you are retarded.
Alexander Miller
it's not completely unrelated though. Steam relies on plenty of Win32 code.
Yes, Linux, where all the games are. I love linux and I use it every day at work, but when I come home I wanna just boot my pc and play games at the best graphical settings and have the best experience practically possible. A multitude of issues prevent this on linux.
Alexander Davis
>Many games don't use anything but dx12. AFAIK there are 6 such games, all of which have Halo, Gears or Forza in the title.
Evan Price
>using some old version of steam that has been tested as having compatibility issues with the windows 10 update >surprised they won't let you update windows 10 and get app crashes because you're retarded
Joshua Gray
Because the feature update hasn't been rolled out yet. You can only get it if you download the installer.
Logan Foster
the difference is that in linux you actually can fix it, in windows you have to just deal with it
Connor Roberts
Finally a good change. Steam is pure cancer that cucks their zombie users.
Joshua Cox
>1334 games in library on windows >436 games in library on linux only reason i don't go full blown linux in my gaming rig and to be specific: no arkham on linux
i had to literally format this piece of shit, and install clean, because the update fucked up everything, even the recovery during 30minutes aprox i had a literal thinkpad brick
the media creation tool does not create a gpt enabled USB (yes, in current year) i had to create a gpt enable pendrive using Rufus and the ISO
Sebastian Hill
>Windows 10 is better than 7/8 in everyway. I am using it and this is literally not true. It's a buggy piece of shit.
Ryder Morales
>stop playing video games
Christian Rivera
>poeple using w10 oh I must've switched tabs at some point, I was pretty damn sure I was browswing gee and not vee
Luis Ramirez
If i had to guess it's probably the big creators update.
Bruh when was the last time an operating system MADE you arbitrarily uninstall non-vital software that didn't touch any operating system files? Why would you even need to remove it in the first place?
>game profits What games do they even sell? literally there's like 5 modern games that can only be exclusively bought on le windows store.
>tfw not using based GOG
also >steam
Asher Bailey
Regarding Steam: I was reinstalling my Windows and did not want do redownload games.
I ran Steam.exe from the folder, it asked to run steamservice.exe as admin and it's working fine since then without installation&redownloading.
Mason Anderson
Oh yeah Steam crashes are Windows 10 fault. What about letting developers know what incompatibilities you are introducing beforehand? There is a CS1.6 site with own anticheat which never worked since first major update because MS never warned about removing needed functionality.
Jayden Hernandez
>Windows Found your problem
Matthew Baker
>having to uninstall a completely unrelated third-party application to update your fucking operating system >said application is made by a company that tried to distance itself from windows what a coincidence it's not like they want to annoy steam users or anything
Adrian Cruz
>nonfree software requires you to uninstall nonfree software to update nonfree software kek
Brandon Richardson
>literally tirty secs of install and some clicks its something to worried about oh right ubuntufags need memorize and enter thousand of codecs to install a single program lol
Eli Phillips
They don't, codecs are installed by default. Have fun installing your mediapack, steam and 45 other applications at each update, dumb weebshit
Noah Thomas
>Installed on 3 different PCs already >Never seen this Not sure if this thread says more about how gullible you retards are or how shit Microsoft is that people could believe it.
Dylan Morgan
>in windows you have to just deal with it Regardless of if it's fake, how "you can reinstall afterward" is not "fixing it" Also policy editor???
William Reyes
I love fake news and I cannot lie.
Ayden Foster
Yesterday I upgraded both of my machines that both have Steam on them, no problems at all
Jace Edwards
>implying the update uninstalls Windows
Isaac Powell
>browsing Sup Forums unironically kill yourself
Christopher Martin
>I don't belive Microsoft is this retarded.
Noah Morris
Are you trying to tell me that people get on the internet and lie? I think you're on to something. Thanks for letting us know.
Thomas Lee
Why people use this piece of shit OS I shall never know.
Imagine: everyone that is mildly pissed off at the atrocious Windows 10 switched back to Windows 7 (i.e. the last good Windows) - what the fuck would Microsoft do? Probably take the fucking hint.
Anthony Gutierrez
When windows 10 came out i heard a rumour that ms is going to slowly make steam unusable on windows 10 so that people would just start buying games from windows store.
Evan Price
One word:
Normalfags.
Cameron Edwards
Not much they can do about Nvidia, but Valve actually are paying a bunch of people to work on the AMD drivers. A Valve employee just submitted patches the other day for GL_ARB_bindless_texture one of the last big features needed for AZDO on the open drivers.
Easton Ross
That is not a rumor, it is a guess on Microsofts policy based on their modus operandi. It should surprise nobody if this turns out to be the case.
Leo Perez
>It's okay that it does stupid shit I can just fix it!
>"m-m-muh gayemz!" >the OS made for games won't let you play games You can't even make this shit up anymore. Not even macfags get fucked this hard on the software end of things. Winfaggots on literal suicide watch.
Ian Bennett
Wallpaper? Please?
Jaxon Edwards
He is lying. I literally updated last night and nothing had been deleted.
Lucas Peterson
You computer should require you to uninstall Windows before you can use it
