Windows 10 [Did you upgrade?]

[MsMisato]

Upgraded from win ultimate 7 64bit ot win 10 pro. Easy install. Had to redownload some drivers for network adapter and graphics card. Ran the updates for win 10 pro and game ran fine and its feels a bit smoother. U run the game in dx11.

My pc is built by me and is a few years old but i ditched the old hdds and ran with solid state. Its an ati build so nothing fancy.

I've been getting random occurrences of the game not crashing outright, but kicking me back to the desktop while continuing to run. I click the icon to bring the FFXIV window back up and I just get a black screen. But the game is still running (I can even do things even though I can't see). Eventually the game does crash, but I've gotten pretty good at doing a /shutdown and letting the program close gracefully while blinded.

My guess is the graphics cards are doing a hard reset and the game can't figure out how to keep going once that happens. I'm running an SLI configuration (two GTX 980s) and Windows 10. Anyone having troubles with Windows 10 and SLI?

10 is a mess, just like 8. Windows 7 is a super clean ui and looks nice.

Obviously you haven't taken the time to discover what's new in Windows 10, because the UI is WAY better than 7 or 8. Much more keyboard-friendly and quicker to navigate.

Yeah, the Display driver just crashes. If it's able to restore then, well. It'll show a black screen since the DX11 client crashed along with your GPU driver.

I have this issue but, I'm using a 144hz monitor as my main, and 60hz as secondary. W10 with GTX 970.

Heads up, known issue with HW, DX11 and R9 300 series cards.

Installed Windows 10 day of release, did not do a fresh install. Only driver I had to manually reinstall was my graphics driver. It is far better then windows 7, and lets be honest, windows 8 was a waste of time to begin with. (I did try it, uninstalled and have used windows 7 sense forever.) All my steam game, all 112 of them, are working fine. Im not sure why people are experiencing slow start ups or slow times opening apps, as I am not. It runs just fine and looks very clean. It's easy to use and still has all the technical stuff for people who like them, like me! XD

Upgraded to Windows 10 when I got the change and have seen a noticeable performance improvement. Did have a couple of issues. Print screen locking up my computer and Uplay doing the same. I fixed it with this:

In the "search the web and windows" type msconfig, select boot tab, advanced options, in the top left untick Debug. Then restart as prompted.

But there’s something you should know: Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do.!!! you can google that its true

Microsoft 10 is a spy software and they dont tell that to users, they know when you start your computer! have fun with it but i stay on windows 7 ^^

And you know what? You can deactivate it! :shock:
-Cortana can be disabled
-No need of Microsoft Account
-Very Good Privacy Options to deactivate any spy function

And you know what? You can Google this from good sources and not the ones you used to freak out!
Every website knows as much as possible from you and if you are using iOS or Android on your mobile it is the same as W10 lol.... you are a real MVP

why would anybody install spyware like win10 is on your pc?
