Now all they need to do is have opt out options for the bloatware and mobile crap

Oh please yes!

I already don't get driver updates by tweaking policies in my pro version but it's a work around.

I might even come back to windows as my main driver then

does no one see the irony of this option.. requiring an update to be turned on?

I'm starting to get annoyed at Windows 10. The other day I fired up my Titan X rig and it took the liberty of changing the entire desktop around to look like my other PC, including the wallpaper. I was mythed is putting it mildly ffs.

I was confused when I formatted my drive in August so I had a clean install of win10 and my linux yet on bootup to windows my old wallpaper is there despite it not even being on the drive anymore

Spookeh:ghost1:

Dunno mang. Forking annoying though. I now have a Xeon wallpaper for a rig with no Xeon it it.

Sooner they allow me to turn off updates the better.

I looked like a right tit too. I had a bloke from a computer forum at my house looking over my rigs and I couldn't figure out why the monitor was not switching to the Titan X rig. Turns out it was but M$ had made it look just like my other effing rig.

GRRR.

Hazah! Should have been this way from the start, sick of the amount of times I've had nvidia driver issues thanks to this feature. Now if only nvidia could fix the drivers so The Division doesn't crash like a diabetic in a sweet shop.

Crashing? is this some issue with the new series cards? as i have never had a crash. I just dont have a working SLI setup sadly.

Only thing I know is that it crashes a lot with the latest drivers, and you get an nvidia crashed driver warning every time. No idea if its series specific though.

Do you need to be on the latest ones for a reason? Could you go back to a previous stable one?

The last 3 drivers have the same outcome fella, believe me I've tried.

how odd :S it's been driver stable for quite a while now. You running DX11 or 12? and in windowed full screen or true fullscreen?

The only crashing I have had with The Division is when changing graphics settings and it doesn't matter which driver I use, I have had this issue since the game released.

As for the topic I think something like this should have been available from the release of Windows 10.

Doesnt matter, fullscreen, windowed, full screen windowed, DX11 - 12.. It either crashes at launch or at random play time.

That is odd. Quite a shame really. Is this possibly an isolated case or do you know if its a common problem?

The only issue i had was during the launch era where sometimes loading into the game you just had a black screen. That was more software crash the driver though. I can check when I get home which version im using since I havent updated for a while I think.

My last update if it hasnt done so automatically was with the release of the world of warcraft Legion expansion so thats hmmm maybe september?

 

[Wraith]

The most common crash I get is at launch, just after the ubi logo and the audio at max volume (you know the one) with the rotating orange loading screen it locks up there 9/10 then CTD. Other times its just random in game crashes.
