Installed the creators update on one of my machines last week, and so far I haven't found a single improvement, just reduced GUI functionality and increased bloat. What am I missing? Surely for what's essentially Service Pack 3 there should be something worthwhile from such a large update :S
Creators update, what doesn't suck?
- Thread starter ubersonic
- Start date
Its been a bit tragic so far on both my Windows 10 tablets - since the Creator's update things are slow and not working correctly - installations and updates for software that previously (and on my other Windows 7 and 8 systems still are) completed quickly will sit there for upto an hour with the bar just going back and forth before suddenly completing. Explorer performance is quite laggy and from the looks of it a fair few OS components are quite busy in the background - not sure if its just post installation maintenance tasks that will eventually complete or increased useless bloat.
IMO MS have completely lost the plot - aside from reducing the eye sore of some visual elements and a little more organisation of where things go between the mess of different control panels, etc. there hasn't been any real quality of life improvements since it went retail and several reductions. An OS should primarily be about enabling the user first and anything else second while Windows 10 constantly tries to inject itself into your work flow or push you down a specific path based on an idealised vision of the end user that might not fit your needs at all.

All of it sucks. I installed it last night after an agonising few hour wait, only to discover it has given me a 100+ FPS drop in CS:GO and made it almost unplayable. I did the usual of closing down any processes that weren't needed but to no avail. Ended up going back to the previous update and still, even now, I'm getting a drop in games. Everything was fine (well, apart from the fact that usual updates would never install and just hang on 0%) before I bothered.

Did you disable the inbuilt gamebar stuff before rolling back?
No. I had all that stuff disabled before the update. Does it turn itself back on then? I couldn't see the usual "press Windows + G" thing that popped up in game when you had it enabled though.
Probably as it was mainly introduced in the creators update, I've seen it posts on here and reddit about it causing issues until you disable it with certain games.
Ah that sucks. Might have to spend today going forward again then and getting rid.
Cheers.
