Microsoft Fixes Windows 10 Anniversary Update Freezing Issues (betanews.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Anniversary Update may have introduced a whole host of new features but it has also caused a fair number of problems for Windows 10 users. Among the most annoying issues reported since its release in late-July are freezes on systems equipped with SSDs. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem and provided a couple of workarounds that users could try, promising that a permanent fix would eventually be made available. Microsoft now says that it has addressed the freezing issues in the latest Cumulative Update that it just released. "After the launch of the Anniversary Update for Windows 10, Microsoft received a small number of reports of Windows 10 freezing when signing into Windows after installing the Anniversary Update. With the help of users and MVP's who posted on this thread an investigation determined that a small fraction of users who had moved app information to a second logical drive could encounter this issue," explains Microsoft.
if updates weren't forced down our throats, maybe only a small percentage of users would be affected by a bad update before you got your shit together and fixed it....
WE ARE NOT YOUR BETA TESTERS.
Windows 10 is the worst OS I've ever used, and I've use Windows ME! Also some of the most unstable Linux distros (Fedora, Debian Sid, Gentoo).
It's slow, bloated and invades my privacy for no practical gain. The Anniversary Update resulted in a BSOD + reboot loop. One clean install later, and my webcam doesn't work.
Windows 7 was pretty much perfect. Windows 8 was at least tolerable. Windows 10 is the Worst. OS. Ever.
Six months ago Windows 10 ate my SSD array.
In my experience, users tend to blame Windows for just about everything, even when Windows isn't remotely to blame...
While it is possible you're correct, I've learned to assume when someone says "Windows broke my computer" that usually it is "anything BUT Windows broke my computer"
I'm right more often than I'm not...
Just more confirmation that Windows 7 will be my last windows version, ever. When Windows 7 stops getting security updates/gets crippled by MS update I will go Ubuntu/SteamOS for my desktop and console for my gaming.
