I've experienced another issue with this windows update and noticeably for some reason wifi is sluggish as hell and resetting your pc results in a total mess! I can't even save torrents to d drive and there's two mini blue arrows hovering above every f***in icons!! Seriously microsoft you greedy little ****!!! you messed up big time!! Moving to linux soon...you've lost another loyal customer.
For the record, I'm Linux Mint since 2009, but I help others with M$ so am stuck having to deal with their awful system.
Here's the first thing I do when such as what you describe happens:
- update device in device manager, selecting "let me choose", and simply pointing it to the folder location for the driver it already has. Occasionally, it loads it again and works-- no idea why.
- uninstall the device and tick to uninstall it's software. At least then, you KNOW it'll have to go out and actually look for a driver. It might not find one, but it wasn't working anyway, so nothing lost.
- last case scenario is a driver-finder such as Snappy Driver Installer. Amazingly, it's found and installed drivers I knew were correct but which would NOT install manually by me?
You'd love Mint, btw. They're up to v19 right now. It's pretty slick. ;)
Hey geekomatic, thanks for the heads up! Yea but that's a lotta hassle. But in regards to linux, are most web browsers, video players etc compatible with linux?
