KenW Ken, when you looked in the Windows 10 Preview control panels, what did the Windows Update control panel show you ? OK, here is a snapshot of the Win10 10130 control panels. http://i62.tinypic.com/29e4nsm.jpg There is *no* Windows Update control panel. It would be pretty hard to control updates, without a control panel. Paul In Windows 8.1, the update settings are several levels down in "System and Secure". I would suspect the update settings in Windows 10 are in "Security and Maintenance", but several levels down. Remember all of the post when Window 8 came out about there being no way to create a CD without third party software. Everybody know now that that the alarmist were wrong and Window 8 can create CD's. I suspect like pelosi said about a bill that was past in Congress in 2009, paraphrased "You will have to approve it, to learn what it contains". With Windows 10, you will have to install the final released version to know what it will do, and where the settings to do it are located. * German - detected * English * German * Dutch * French * English * German * Dutch * French javascript:void(0); |

You have to defend yourself against Microsoft's "resistance is futile, you will adapt to service us" queer attitude. Either bend over and let Microsoft service you or fight back. I just accepted a firmware update to my Samsung flat-screen TV - foolishly dreaming of functional enhancements like losing that annoying "Mute" icon when listening via headphones... Guess what? Right: no detectable enhancements, but they have started to spam the screen with promotional material. Low-level at this time.... but I'll never, ever, accept an "Upgrade" on that device again. The logic seems the same: Consumer has purchased a device; attempt to take control of it for marketing purposes. Makes sense at a certain level.... albeit a rather low level. I used to have a Samsung DVD-recorder with my TV. It had a superb function called "dub". You could record anything and "dub" it to any DVD. After a firmware update the DVD-recorder went AWAL. I threw the whole box-of-tricks away, and bought a new Samsung smart DVD-recorder that could record even onto memory-sticks. I did just that, couldn't view the raw recorded data on any computer, put a sample online that even our Paul couldn't convert, gave up. DRM and underhand ways of implementing it!!! Ed |

I ran preview version win 10 10130 and it was alright on the intel core i7 but had problems with sound drivers on the AMD processors.I had sound fine with the drivers originally installed,but then auto update updated the drivers to hardware not on my system and no sound. The only choice it gave me on my win 10 pro edition was to reschedule an install date for update installation. This has helped me decide what to do,as I will be sticking to win 7 and win 8.1 for a while. Did you try installing a driver from the hardware manufacturer ? As an alternative. For example, if the audio hardware was Realtek, I would go to realtek.com.tw and get a driver there. As I've noticed when a Windows OS does sound itself, the "brand" of the audio is not shown, and it looks like a "generic" driver is being used. You can always test a manufacturer driver as a substitute. That's assuming there is nothing in the INF to prevent it. I think when I've done that, Device Manager changes from a generic HDAudio label, to a Realtek label. Paul I did that and it was corrected until it auto updated again. Unless updates are manual I will pass on this version. It turns out there is a control to help you. http://i61.tinypic.com/9awj9g.jpg System control panel : Advanced System Settings : System Properties, Hardware Tab Device Installation settings : Let me choose what to do I don't know what it does, but there is a tick box... "Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices" So apparently there is a need for realistic icons. Who knew ? Maybe if you tick that, it'll stop overwriting your Realtek ? My 10130 preview, has a RealTek driver 6.0.1.7503, but I can't figure out where it came from. I don't have a driver file in my Downloads folder, so it isn't from there. I can tell you, my Device Manager lists a Realtek item, so it didn't use a generic HDAudio driver with no brand string. Paul I must have missed that. I am going to reinstall win 10 and check that out. |
