That reports hardware/driver support of the feature, licensing is a completely different matter.

sharktamer posted:The official steps to getting the linux subsystem is so confusing. Could someone make it real simple and let me know what exactly needs to be done? I think I'm almost there, I just need to actually get the insider preview update, but it keeps failing every time I've tried over the last few days so I guess I just have to wait for windows to stop being poo poo (forever?) Settings, For developers, turn on developer mode. Search start for "Turn windows features on or off", enable windows subsystem for linux. Run "bash" in a command prompt. Any instructions saying you need a preview version are old and wrong. Or they're talking about getting it "from the store" which is not important. Also either one of those first two instructions might be unnecessary at this point, all the instructions are conflicting and I don't have a fresh system to test, but it only takes a few seconds to do them so whatever just hit those buttons.

Well, this is just loving awesome. Windows installed the latest patches yesterday and now the goddamn OS crashes frequently in some DirectX service whenever Netflix is running.

Is there a surefire way to actually "make Folder View->Apply to all Folders" work and lock across all folders in File Explorer? Win 10 just seems to change view settings at it's whim and It's driving me mad because I never had this problem back on Win7.

Pretty sure the folder settings apply to that folder and its subfolders. So maybe make the changes to the highest level folders you can get.

Win 10 just seems to change view settings at it's whim and It's driving me mad because I never had this problem back on Win7. Is this a thing with Windows, changing settings randomly between reboots? I'm having issues with it: un-checking "enhance pointer precision" and changing my audio devices, seemingly with every reboot. With the latter in particular, I actually have all devices disabled except the one output (SPDIF) and one input (USB mic) I want to use all the time, and Windows will re-enable other devices (e.g. a monitor, a headset mic) and make them default. Is there any way to fix this?

It's something wrong with your windows config. You could try and make a new profile (login) and see if the same issues exist with it. Other than that, you could try a repair install and see if that fixes it. Last resort is a clean install.

Is there something in the Creators Update that would cause my install to start going incredibly slow on startup? I finally stopped hitting "snooze" on the update and it installed just fine but now it's taking for-goddamn-ever (like 3+ minutes) to get to a usable desktop. I tried turning off the new game mode stuff in case that did anything, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Hey I didn't know and for anyone else that did, if you want over 1080p playback for Netflix, you have to use the Store app or Edge. Chrome only goes to 720p.

Even if you use the store app, you can't do 4K unless you have the latest intel procs I believe.

A shutdown on Windows 10 dumps a bunch of stuff in to the hibernation file and pulls from that during startup. I know coming out of hibernation can be a bit of a dog and if you're hitting that with a slowish platter disk it could cause problems. A restart does a full clean initialization without the hiberfil.sys and MS is pretty much depreciating shutdowns in favor of standby.

On that note, does anyone know why my windows 10 PC refuses to sleep sometimes? I'll use powercfg requests to check why it keeps waking up and there will be nothing in there, but it will still turn itself back on. Googling suggests that I try the system logs but they don't provide much information either. Is there a way to just say go to sleep and never wake up? Unless I use the keyboard or mouse to wake it up myself obviously.

Jan posted:What? Windows doesn't hibernate unless you tell it to, and hibernation is disabled by default in 10... No really, "fast start-up" in Windows 10 means that the system really only shuts partially down, hibernates the rest, and then does a resume on the next boot, if possible. It just leaves itself in a state where it can still safely make a full boot in case e.g. the hardware configuration has changed. (But a reboot is still a full reboot.)

I didn't know Fast Startup reuses the hibernation file. I disabled that early on so probably never experienced it.

A restart does a full clean initialization without the hiberfil.sys and MS is pretty much depreciating shutdowns in favor of standby. I've been seeing this after full shutdowns (I'm assuming they're not S4 hibernations since I see the bios self-test stuff during boot) but I've also seen it after restarts (though to a lesser extent), so I don't think it's related to the hiberfil.sys being huge and slow. I could be wrong, though. I do need to bite the bullet and switch to an SSD for my boot drive rather than a platter, though. I'm sure that would help immensely in general, but it hadn't been quite so slow until after Creators hit. edit: missed some intervening posts--I also didn't know Windows used hiberfil during startup from "shutdown." Still going to try holding shift during startup to see if it helps.

Actually a reboot is not a full reboot from all the evidence of the SHIFT + restart working to fix glitches that persist after a normal reboot. Now I am curious if that is wrong though. redeyes fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Aug 21, 2017 |

It's failed to notice new drives on me. Even better is that it can corrupt the hell out of removable storage if you remove, use, and reattach all while the system is off. (I'm 90% sure it was fast startup and not normal hibernation when this happened.)

So now with the Workstation edition of Windows 10, Microsoft seems to be shifting functionality around. The ability to create ReFS filesystems will be removed from cheaper editions with the Fall upgrade. I wonder what else will fall.

I too question why ReFS is going away. Though it's proved remarkably long lived, it's clearly obsolete vs a modern filesystems, and MS needs to be getting a replacement into production ready status sooner rather than later. Unless they mean to develop it more at the top end then port the results back down, I can't see this as a good step.

Uh, you're talking where the "competitors" is primarily Apple which seems to want to stick to ancient HFS+ indefinitely on their laptops and desktops (they have an evolved variant called Apple File System now but it's still "experimental" on those systems, although active on iOS devices). Remember the tablet market continues to shrink too for the third year in the row, and Chromebooks are continuing to avoid having much in the way of relying on local storage so theoretically better file systems don't matter much there either. bigis posted:Could this be why I get unexplained 100% disk usage for 5 or 10 minutes when I open my laptop? I've tried just about everything to fix it. You may have hybrid sleep enabled, where when it sleeps the computer it also writes out a hibernation file in case the power gets pulled completely. In that situation it'd be able to do a cold boot and return to where you left off. On some systems, even though it stayed in sleep mode, it still tries to pull a bunch of data from the hibernation file on waking, which can tie up your disk usage for some minutes. Try temporarily disabling hibernation, and see if your problem still occurs. fishmech fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Aug 22, 2017 |

Delivery Optimization process is strictly just the one option of the same name under update advance settings, right? Where it downloads updates from other sources but also uploads updates to other people. I have it running sucking in my bandwidth but I go to check the options and it's turned off, it's never been turned on but here it is taking up bandwidth.
