LSudlow Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 It seems good so far. Still a few issues, but I haven't run into anything I can't live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Brought back memories of old Windows and Office installs where it spent 98% of the time at 98% 17040 came with GF388.10 and i4279 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hmmmm, getting GSODs all of a sudden, coming to you via Safemode Hopefully can sort this or a fresh install might be happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Clean install to 17040, lot more to click on with fresh install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 No it did not, I have a feeling that AVG is the cause of my issues As I was installing it, BAMM! GSOD, went back a restore point and I'm back no GSOD since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Trialing Bitdefender, was getting a little annoyed with AVG and constant popups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use Avast, but dumped it for the same reason. I've just been using Windows Defender since I got this laptop and (I think) it's been fine so far. But I know it's near the bottom of the protection heap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 So far so good, nothing popped up yet. I've never really trusted MS AV, maybe I should give it ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfm Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Pretty much all AV is just another attack vector at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 What I like about Windows Defender is it's light-weight and completely invisible unless it finds something that needs immediate attention. Just to be safe, I run a manual Malware Bytes scan every month or two, but it's never found anything that Windows Defender missed. I might want something stronger if I haunted XXX sites or whatever, but for now, WD seems to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 So far Bitdefender has not bugged me, I might be ready to bring MS into the fold should I get annoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 This build for me is broken, It won't update either WIndows or any drivers via auto update Run run trouble shoot for windows update errors found in the Database it either fixes or not but either way after reboot its broken again I'll try a fresh install of 17025, last working build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 17025 also has update issue, going back further trying 16299 next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 While waiting on 16299 to download which took ages for some reason as 17025 came from same MS server and was fast, updates all of a sudden began working I'll stay on 17025 a bit longer.

mobilenvidia Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Tried all the Fall releases with no luck Went back to 17040, tried all sorts of combinations of 'Troubleshoot Widows update' took at first ages took ages and ages for each stage But running it each time then skipping the previous error on next run seems to have sorted it as now I have a heap of updated to install (well drivers) So there is some hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Good luck with it. It sounds like there's another build coming (maybe on Friday) so maybe that one will work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I can't get to 14046 yet, update is doing weird things right from a clean install, all broken again, at least I got all the devices clean install doesn't have built in Was a pain with a long list of unknown devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
