    Sorry if this has been discussed before. But here is my 2 cents, as you guys would say ;)
    I was suffering system hard lock-ups and therefore, I had to hard reset to recover my PC. After reading here and there, this is what I've done ultimately.

    I've performed yet another clean install of build 10041. This time, however, I disabled WU driver download at the end of the installation. I've installed the drivers I needed from the hard disk and I'm using Catalyst 14.12 Omega for Windows 8.1; which means no WDDM 2.0 driver, but that's something I did want on purpose.

    So far, no hard lock-ups, but I'll keep on testing throughout the following days.

    PS: And yes, I used the same trick again to restore the functionality of SFC because, once again, it found corrupted system files after an utter clean install process.

    Regards!

    Have a strange one.
    System is a Acer AX1470-EF30P
    With a AMD A8-3800 APU not the same as was in system.
    AMD Radeon HD 6410D + 6450
    Dual Graphics 1Gig
    4 Gig's DDR3
    Windows 10 build 10041 shows 4 Gigs but only 1.5 Gigs usable
    Why
    Anyone else have this problem

    Do you have AMD Turbo Core Control enabled in your bios? If so disable it. That fixed my issue of only having half my ram usable and the rest being hardware reserved.

    Restart the computer, open BIOS (Acer mainly use F2 at boot for that), check Settings and disable AMD Turbo Core Control! That should do the work!

    It is there but can not change it.
    That is why I asked where I can find it.

    I am not too familiar with with Acer bios, but that is where it has to be changed. Sorry....might contact Acer or see if other versions of your bios are available.

    Very interesting, ericgl, thanks a lot!!!

    Someone (not me this time :p) has found out a way to prevent Windows Update from overriding device drivers without having to stop the whole Service. Have a look at this thread he created on the official Windows Insider's forum:

    Oh, dear, I forgot I can't post links or images until I have at least 20 messages. OK, if somebody wants the link, pm me ;)

    Cheers!

    Additional Format options is removed from Windows 10. Never noticed this before.

    Is anybody working on timebomb removal? I'm still using 9901. I guess I'll have to upgrade to 9926 in a few days. I doubt i will be updating to any newer builds of Windows 10. What's going to happen after it expires? Completely unusable or 2 hourly reboots?

    Is that a flash drive? NTFS shouldn't be used on flash drives, there is absolutely no benefit in doing so. exFAT is the best option for removable drives (and essentially was created with them in mind by Microsoft), or if compatibility etc is a concern then FAT32.

    Good to see build 10049 available, much faster than previous build availabilities, which is good!
