Adobe CS6 Bridge and Photoshop performance not great.
Just thought I would share my experiences with CS6 Master Suite on Windows 10 Pro (64)
I performed a clean install of Windows 10 (64) on my main image/video editing system (I'm a pro photographer). I installed it on a Samsung 250pro SSD which I can easily swap out of my case via a mobile rack so I can keep Windows 7 on a separate SSD and swap the OS's more simply (safely) than creating a dual-boot system. My files and app's cache folders are on two WD Raptor drives and I'm using an ASUS P9X79-DLX motherboard, Core i7-3930K processor and 32GB RAM.
I ended up doing 2 installs of Win10 as the 1st one was corrupted for some reason and I posted threads on the 'Graphics Cards' driver section and another thread in 'Drivers and Hardware' trying to resolve bad NVidia driver issues as well as motherboard chipset drivers that may or may not have caused problems. I was getting terrible performance from Adobe Bridge(64) and disk errors were being reported whenever I booted back to Win7 where it would scan my drives for errors on startup and find/fix corrupted files. Scary stuff...
The second clean install is a LOT more stable, having avoided the bad NVidia driver, and I no longer get any disk errors reports when booting back to Windows 7. It seems smooth and stable EXCEPT Bridge(64) still hiccups a bit when working on folders of RAW files (eg: 50-100x 12MP-24MP RAW images). Clicking on some image thumbnails or clicking on pull-down menus causes slight delays that are just not there with Windows 7. It's the same CS6 apps, the same folders of RAW images. I spend so much time editing images on this system I know how it's supposed to 'feel', and it just does not feel right. Something is not running on all cylinders.
I'm now back to using Windows 7 and will re-boot Windows 10 in a couple of months to see what updates have come out from Microsoft, NVidia or Asus that might address the reduced performance that I'm seeing.
Otherwise Windows 10 seems just fine and I've configured it to work and behave pretty well the same as Windows 7. I think it just needs a bit more time to ripen and it will hopefully be an OS that I can use with confidence.
(my system specs are in my profile)
