Hate it? It's Disguting!

 

You know Papusan, just in the interest of performance mainly, is there a particularly recent windows update that is about the most optimal with say a Deskmodder patch? I thought about either rolling back or doing the patch, but I would just like to know an optimal update time with an optimal patch. Ask me about phone plans and can help you, but this I am kind of clueless on.

 

I haven't this Win version on my machines. I only installed it for benching/testing and uninstalled afterwards (on test machine). If you have problems as you mentioned in previous post... Then roll-back to the working one. See also https://www.computerworld.com/artic...s-time-to-pause-those-windows-10-updates.html

Which feature release to pick?
I’m still a bit wishy-washy about the 2004 release because of some issues with passwords reported by users and I’m certainly not yet comfortable recommending 20H2. I am fully comfortable with the 1909 release.

The patch I posted a few days before from Deskmodder is exactly the same patch I posted here today Main difference is the new from today is the official one.

 

i use a program that divides my hard drive in half and run a stable version of Win10 and run the latest fast ring release on the other half. I am also starting to experiment with linux and Qubes

I have been running the Fast ring for years now. I have had mostly positive experience but then again i remove all of the bloat using a program from GIT HUB https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/

 

Did a dirty upgrade from 1809 to 1909 since W10 v2009 reviews are bad.

 

build 20257

 

Same, a few weeks ago. Didn't notice any change in perfomance, and it was the reason why i held on 1809 for so long. Sometimes it's better not to listen to the internet, i guess.

 

One more annoying thing is that I've noticed that on some games it says you have to have a certain version of w10 to play, I think Gears 5 is an example. But is that really true, anyone tried? Does the game hard block you from playing?

 

Well I reverted back to the 2004 update, which I have had no issues with thus far. I will give 20H2 another go in a month or so.
