Really? Me too! Such a small world that here we are, 2 people on a not too busy forum and yet we both share the identical opinion! WOW!
It couldn't possibly be that Win 10 is just no good and there are others like us???

I have to believe 99.9% of the people who use windows hate it. I always have. The pain of it all for me is almost EVERYONE designs programs for windows. I have used others OS's..........I would use Linux but the games I like ( Links ) does not run on it......along with others.

There has been and always will be big issues with windows.........

I tell windows I don't want updates.....and have turned updating off......what does windows do......late at night when I am asleep....it updates.....and I lose ALL my custom settings.......I can not even get dgVoodoo to work any more.......so in the game I see messed up skies......block looking 2D objects.......the list goes on...................

I HATE windows.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's to fix?

In my experience BSODs are invariably caused by hardware issues.

[sagevanni]

That means EVERY computer I have had running windows has something wrong with the hardware. Not likely......

I can run Linux on any computer I have ever had and I have never had a crash.

It's windows........CRAP code.......from day one.......that is my experience.......

Ok Sage, forced updates are a pain. I haven't had Win 10 long enough to really understand it's workings, that'll take much time. I've used the method outlined below to stop updates. I'm hoping this will work permanently. It's been 6 days and it's worked. Next couple of days will be the real test as 7 days looks to be an automatic trigger for Win 10 to re-enable them automatically despite what users have done. The benefit of this method is you can also manually download updates if you wish so the update system works the same as it did in older Windows versions.

Go to: search
Type: gpedit.msc
Navigate to: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
Right window double click: Configure Automatic Updates
Top left: Check "Disable"
Click "Apply"
Click "Ok"

I'm not sure about your specific issue with Links and why it's occurred BUT, one thing to certainly try is to use another dgvoodoo version. If you have an older graphics card and PC in particular, try much older dgvoodoo versions.

Hey Still,

Well blow me down........just used my original download dgVoodoo......worked.......So messed up.

Sage, I am now into 8 days and Windows 10 has not updated. Looks like my posted method will kill updating until you wish to apply them yourself.
