I’ve never heard of that being an issue before, people get upset over that? My displays are different too with 2 1080p and a 2k

From my experience, I’ve not really ran into a long running task that might get interrupted by a Windows update.

What I have ran into however is Windows update spontaneously deciding to downgrade my Intel Arc driver and install whenever it feels like! No prompt, no input from me, just installs. The only “prompt” I get is my monitors blanking out and either it blue screens or it downgrades and I get a “you need to restart to finish installing updates” notification.

Not only was it downgrading to a driver that didn’t even support Intel Arc Control for my Intel Arc card, it caused Blender renders, which can take hours to render, to crash, it crashes games, or just blue screens the whole system because GPU drivers shouldn’t be updated when programs are trying to use said GPU. It was insanely frustrating and was one of my final straws to just deleting the Windows drive entirely.

This was all with updates paused, but there was no way to disable driver updates, which shouldn’t have even been handled by Windows update for my GPU. Intel has their own updater and would actually update, not downgrade.

Granted this was also a few years ago now with Windows 10 Home. But it’s something that was so infuriating to deal with for something that should’ve been a toggle or an optional update. At least tell me when you are going to break my driver so I can close programs!

I wish I could get my friends to switch. I even had one tell me they would rather use it if supported the games that don’t work (which of course are games with anti-cheat issues). But they at least recognize that Windows is getting quite bloated

If only =w= that would be my dream. Until then, 6 plushies it is when I sleep! :3c

That’s perfect! Someone to cuddle! :3

I mean they aren’t going to blow AMD or Nvidia out of the water, certainly not in the high end cards. But from my experience with my Intel Arc A770 LE 16GB under Linux. It’s been amazing.

Pretty much zero driver issues, 2K completely max settings at or really close to 60fps in all of my games I’ve tried. All for $350 (But that I’ve seen as low as $260 for the non LE versions in store before GPU pricing skyrocketed again)

I’m all for Intel going in with the B series, especially if it’s as plug and play as my A770 is with Wayland using the Mesa driver and has more performance to compliment.

This is really interesting! I’ve usually installed Winaero Tweaker back when I still used Windows, if I knew this existed I probably would’ve gone with this instead. Having access to “playbooks” would be quite handy.

You did an amazing job on all of them! I absolutely love my headshot and can’t thank you enough for it! :3

I’ll get some work in on my drawing hopefully this weekend as I have some time to work on it!

Sounds good! :D

I have a few pictures (though, none linked anywhere just yet sadly). But I’m just your standard red fox with some goggles and non-binary bandana! :3
