    Windows Update is crippling computer


    I have a computer that when I turn it on sometimes, not all the time, it is very slow.When i check processes I see "Service Host : Windows Update" at tope using 34% and the processor is maxed out to 100% for about 20 minutes or longer.I can't hardly use it while it is doing this.Why is the update slowing it down so much?

    :)

    Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

    This should be enough to get the conspiracy theorists suggesting that Microsoft is intentionally crippling multi-monitor support in fullscreen mode since games sold on the Microsoft Store all work in the pseudo-fullscreen mode...

    Or it could just be an idiotic bug that will be fixed in time.

    Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

    The recent Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3213986) cripples multi-monitor gaming, looking at the way Microsoft worded its "known issues" text. After the update is applied, users with multi-monitor setups could experience screen stuttering or clipped screens when running 3D apps on machines with more than one monitor. The only workaround Microsoft suggests for now entails running your 3D apps in non-fullscreen modes, such as windowed-maximized (pseudo-fullscreen) or windowed modes. Microsoft also goes as far as to suggest that people with multi-monitors could try starting their 3D apps with just one monitor connected.

    "Users may experience delayed or clipped screens while running 3D rendering apps (such as games) on systems with more than one monitor," the change-log for the KB3213986 update reads. "To work around this issue please consider the following options: 1. Running the application in Windows mode (not full screen), or 2. Starting the application with only one monitor connected," it adds. The update effectively cripples multi-monitor gaming, using technologies such as AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround.

    Windows 10 update on October 14, 2015 has crippled mouse.

    • Unacceptably sluggish, slow, delayed movement.
    • Mouse buttons get stuck or simply do not work without repeated attempts.
    Across three Windows 10, updated computers.

    You have got to be kidding. Doesn't anybody test anymore?
