Windows 10 - worse performance?
Mike A:
What am I doing differently with updates? I must be an outlier because I never have any issues. All of my work and home computers are on auto-update. I honestly never have any problems.
cools:
In all my years using and supporting Windows installations, none have been as bad with updates as 10. I know there have been problems in the past but W10 is on a whole new level of bad.
I quite like the cruft free LTSB version. Shame that one is Enterprise only.
Sledge:
On my gaming PC i use Win10 for the compatibility with everything.. plus some games only run on Win10..
On the cabs i've still got win 7 and i doubt i'll ever update from that..

I do worry about iot or eterprise or education builds as well. I was using a lite build of Win7 that ran amazingly well, but couldn't be updated past DX9, and was missing a few components that meant emulation apart from mame always ran into hiccups. I'm actually much happier on Win10 overall. But yeah 10 is ---smurfy--- for updates. Which is a shame because i find it really nice apart from that.

Their idea to redesign several things all at once ever six months is so obviously bad. Smaller monthly or bimonthly changes would be safer and much less troublesome.
It's probably a so-so comparison because it's not an OS, but imagine if MAME relesed new versions only twice a year... :D
