trash. even ltsb and server 2016 are fucking unusable buggy pieces of shit. stick with 7, at least it works.

Had it setup to dual boot with Ubuntu. One night it decided it wanted to update itself and wiped out grub and fucked up my linux partition. No more windows ever.

It's your problem you're fucking retarded it's so fucking simple to disable updates
Brayden Allen
It's just werks for me.
And then I completely got a new computer. Figured fuck now i have to reinstall...NOPE just plugged my old HDD in and it boots the fuck up and installed drivers.
It's rather nice all things considered.

It's more the fact that updating their bullshit OS allowed that to happen, you dickshitter
David Rodriguez
Just claiming security is dead so we might as well embrace malicious software made by malicious companies and all kinds of shit with secret code constantly networking for god knows why for everything because you "think" your CPU is an open backdoor anyway is retarded and exactly what people who want access to everything want you to do. If you just don't care then that's a whole other story and you aren't even part of the discussion. Just like in the physical world, security in the digital realm is about reducing risks and increasing the costs/work necessary for an attacker to breach it. Nothing is 100% secure, but 80% is a hell of a lot better than 20%. That's as true today as it was in the days of castles and siege warfare.

I've since sold that audio interface, but the one I'm about to get, an M-Audio Firewire Solo or 410, isn't supported under Win8-10 either.
Wyatt Nelson
do you debloated the OS? win10 is knows for his oversaturation of useless shit
Dominic Scott
wow windows 8 on ebay for only 8 bucks. who would've thought
Brayden Russell
I slipstreamed the Media Features Pack into LTSB for codecs and shit, installed it on my desktop and it just werks. My same hardware on windows 8.1 would have some weird behavior where on wake from sleep sometimes it would just never turn the hard disks back on. It would just sit there not loading anything and then BSOD. Happened on every fresh install. Never had this problem on 10.
If it weren’t for the botnet I honestly would love W10 in its current LTSB state. But unfortunately I can’t since that’s always going to be a problem with it.

Windows 10 is like a necessary evil for me. If I didn't game, I'd be using linux.
Jeremiah Sullivan
It automatically downloaded on my shit internet which slows everything to a crawl and I can't turn it off.
eventually downloads and constantly bothers me to install it
I want to install it and dual boot with windows 7 cause i've got a ton of storage so why not
after much searching I finally figure out how to put it on a CD or USB drive and get it dual booted
Play with it for 30m and go back to win7 cause that fucking start menu is garbage
Eventually I set it up and install classic shell and I use it from time to time
Nolan Anderson

That said, i prefer the design of windows 7, but for getting work done windows 10 is pretty good. If i didn't need MS office i would probably use Lubuntu.

It auto installed candy crush and some clash of clans clones. Thankfully it didn't install anymore after I deleted them but it sure tilted me at the time.
Aiden Smith
I just did a clean install of w10 pro because of my new mobo and cpu. Are you telling me that w10 is a slow piece of shit in general and that my system isn't the reason why the os is running so terribly? Pic related is my setup.

I'm betting you need to flash your bios or something

Fully updated W10 was snappier than W7 + all these years of duct taped updates on my hardware. W10 LTSB that is, normal W10 is full of shit i don't care about.
also >hdd in soon to be 2018 nigger get an SSD, even an used one or a cheap chink one.
Jaxon Lopez
I dont know, I just installed it I had to use an old drive to do a clean install of w10 because the other larger drives had w7 and I couldnt run them on my new pc So I should switch my current w10 to LTSB?
Cooper Scott
>So I should switch my current w10 to LTSB? As i said, that was my experience on my specific hardware and your mileage may vary but try it if you want, it'll probably work better without all that "modern" bullshit.

Well that’s part of your problem right there, you’re using an old shitty drive for your clean install instead of installing to the perfectly good newer drives you already have in your system

It's not that old of a drive though. It's essentially the same rpm as the other larger ones but only comes with a measly 160gb of storage.

Were you even using GPU passthrough or just installing it in a regular VM? How did you even expect to play games?
Adrian Hall
If that was the case I'd still have Win10 installed. They DON'T work jackass. Lexicon had to develop new drivers to get their shit to work under Win10 and M-Audio's entire Firewire line has no support on Win10 and attempts to get any of it to run using the Win7-64bit driver results in a nightmare of headaches.

so does local group policy editor really prevent windows 10 from auto downloading / installing updates? that was my big problem with the OS.
Jacob Morales
As a note, if you ever do plan on upgrading then Windows 7 isn't completley awful, though you're probably fine just staying on XP desu.
Grayson Johnson
what tweaks should I do on a new win10 install? I was intent on staying on win7 but I updated because of a new build. shit's whack man, those microniggers are tracking what I say, where I go, what I'm typing. it's fucked man. I remember only having to do a few things on win7 like disabling UAC and giving myself permissions.
Adrian Nguyen
Yes
Connor Cooper
had few issues with pagefile and some bsod from using torrents, the creators update wasn't a smooth install and I rarely use the start menu as long as I used to. overall 8/10
Luke Gomez

Tyler Davis
>disabling UAC
why the fuck do you dumb niggers do this? What do you gain from it except getting rid of a popup? UAC is there to act as almost the same thing as gksudo, as one extra prevention for programs to run as administrator without your permission, and yet you dumbasses disable it.
Ayden Brown

>>SSD constantly at 100% usage for some reason Wait are you trying to trick me into believing LTSB doesn't scan your SSD non-stop completely fucking up I/O and making system unusable? It's hard to believe, even 8.1 had this "feature".
Adam Adams
>z370 >kaby lake I thought they disabled backward compatibility completely?
Nicholas Sanders
At least you admit you willingly sacrifice a simple security feature just because your ADHD simply cannot tolerate a 1 second confirmation popup for administrator access.
Dominic Ortiz
If you don't have an SSD win7 is the only option for you. Well it's true even if you have an SSD too but at least on SSD win10 can be tolerated to some point.
Alexander Turner
I have Windows 10 on SSD and manjaro on an HDD. Everytime Windows has a version update like the creators update, i pull out the manjaro hdd and proceed with the win update. If you have Windows and Linux on the same drive sorry but you are not a smart person. If you have a laptop with dual boot i suggest you to make a choice: win10 or Linux.
Jackson Reyes
Never had this problem, dude. Don’t know what to tell you. It only maxed out I/O on my SSD for about 1 hour after a clean install, and that was because it was indexing. Seems like a personal problem.
Michael Powell
>laptop >compute You forgot to mention you're mentally challenged
Nolan Moore

Carson Harris

Says the dude running a version of W10 that isnt LTSB. Never have to deal with any version updates because it never gets any, only security updates. The shit they release in the new versions is unnecessary bloat, why would I need it? When LTSB 2016 is obsolete for an actual real reason, LTSB (year) will be out and I’ll just upgrade to that. No reason for any sane person to put themselves through that shit.

You’re the one who said LTSB does it and so did Windows 8.1, which neither do. It’s just you two.
Ryan Mitchell

Kayden Morris
What exactly is “useful” to you if you go through 3 OS’s and still aren’t happy. It sounds like you have deeper issues, possibly severe autism. I heard lobotomies are the best plan of action for this kind of thing.

I’m directly quoting your post here where you say it’s hard to believe that Windows 10 does NOT max out I/O on an SSD, because Windows 8.1 does the same thing, which it doesn’t.
I don’t understand your lack of understanding here, unless this post is not you.
Austin Williams
Because the meme interface addresses your drive constantly and stutters on HDD.
Michael Wood
No autism, just really wish for quality OS. Useful is being able to do cuda optimized multi-gpu workloads with ray tracing engines only available for windows. A problem still not solved in Linux, as gpu-passthrough only supports one single gpu... On top of that, I need to be able to customize my interface to maximize work efficiency with a shitty display. There are a few applications that do it automatically, like winreducer, but those applications don't offer the ability to remove kernel level tracking. I am using far too much pirated software to be tracked. Though winreducer is nice for quick test, and I have used stuff from it. You can get Windows 10 into 1gb, with 316MB overhead on 128gb of ram.
Gavin Parker
I directly told you to fuck off and don't respond because you are clearly not the right guy.
Asher Lee
>install windows 10 >use windows 10
Jeremiah Hernandez
I'm forced to use it at work.
1. It bluescreens every couple of weeks.
2. When you hit the windows key, you have to wait before you start typing the name of a program - I frequently run into this because I'm used to not having to wait for the gui to update, and the fuzzy search for programs is complete shit/nonexistent (I can't tell because I just go back and type the name from the start every time).
3. It still doesn't remember where your windows were when you unlock it. This means that I spend 30-40 seconds reorganising my windows to the screens I wanted them on for every unlock.
4. It often doesn't resize the windows correctly when it moves something from a larger monitor to a smaller monitor, and on a bunch of applications, this means I don't see the whole window and can't move it to a more sensible screen. The only solution there is to relock my computer, wait a few seconds for it to finish forgetting the layout it had, then unlocking and starting the reorganising all over again.
5. One of the screens is "primary" when you have multiple screens. This is a huge problem when you have screens of different sizes, because a lot of programs will use distances as they would appear on your primary screen to figure out where your cursor is, and so you have to click in a completely different place if those programs are on a different screen.
Those last three are probably the greatest irony of Windows - it's shit at doing anything related to windows.
Daniel Carter
Sorry sweetie, you and that guy are the only ones with that problem. Hopefully he responds to you so you two can figure out what you both did to fuck up your installs. Oh wait, sorry, I forgot you said it’s just a thing Windows does. Totally not you. My bad.
Eli Martinez
What do you mean passthrough only supports a single GPU? I’ve done it on Proxmox (which is basically just Debian with certain extra kernel flags enabled) with 2 GPUs to the same windows VM. What’s the issue you had?
Dominic Lee
>It still doesn't remember where your windows were when you unlock it. Holy crap >a lot of programs will use distances as they would appear on your primary screen to figure out where your cursor is Well this looks like a specific software problem, developers must be mentally challenged. Can't imagine this being any different in other OS. lmgtfy.com/?q=windows 8 hdd 100% Be thankful I tolerate your ignorance
Oliver Perez
Stupid nvidia requires you to have a chipset with sli support the emulated chipset doesn't have this support. Same for nvlink devices.
Jack Taylor
Well u do something wrong. >4gb ram >core 2 quad 3ghz >hdd And it runs fast.
Gavin Gonzalez
Ah okay I get that. I usually only pass through AMD GPUs simply because I can get AMD workstation cards for piss cheap on eBay for KVM usage, explains why I wasn’t aware. Also because I did know that nvidia prevents drivers from activating if it detects you’re running under a hypervisor, so I avoided them in the first place.
Hopefully development on the q35 chipset will eventually enable that support.
Jace Cooper
>developers must be mentally challenged I agree. Not shitposting when I say this, but I've found it most frequently happens in software using the Electron framework, or in Chrome plugins. It's most noticeable when you have dropdown menus - the menu location is often right, but the size of the items in the menu gets based on the primary monitor.
>Can't imagine this being any different in other OS I haven't run into the same problems with the Chrome plugins on Linux or OSX, and I haven't run into the same problems with the OSX versions of the same programs.
Cooper Thompson
I wish my work had got me AMD GPUs, but like most corporations with contracts for rendering, we can only buy and use nvidia products.
Jaxon Hughes
>be thankful I tolerate your ignorance
1. The google link you posted is about HDDs, which isn’t what we’re talking about. 2. Still never had this problem.
How hard is that for you to understand? The issue is not with Windows but of the user’s hardware or specific situation. If most of the anons in this thread run it fine without this problem, that should be enough to make it clear that it isn’t Windows, but your own problem. Investigate your own shitty install or shitty hardware before pulling info from the Mariana Trench that you call your asshole.

Several installations went differently depending on which updates they included. Many of them annoyed me with the whole "let's install Minecraft and Candy Crush something without your consent" but besides that, I had more issues recently.
In one install, before 1709 came out I couldn't make an offline account at all. The installer would only show up the microsoft account login page and there was no button or anything similar that would let me just make an offline account at all.
In 1709 installs, I have the same problem: The computer gets high hard disk usage for a good while and until I uninstall all of the trash and fully update it it's almost unusable, windows won't close, I can't use the settings panel at all... a fucking mess.
The ads though, I don't usually have trouble with that. And people bitch a lot about it.
