Thanks for the link to the Microsoft page describing the setup files. Precisely what I was looking for

I must have blipped right over your post, sorry. I didn't have the link to the MS page, good info to have, thanks.

Hi there
just my view on this as far as AMD is concerned - especially these days --I know loads of people like AMD etc but that's their choice too

but IMO AMD means A Mega Disaster.

Never any problem with things like INTEL, Nvidia or Matrox -- again of course YMMV. Competition is usually a good idea but it has to work properly !!!!

Cheers

Lol... Because I prefer their products and drivers, I have purchased only AMD GPUs since 2002. I haven't owned a nVidia GPU since 2001 and have no plans to do so now.

If there's a "mess" because of AMD I have never seen it...!... What I do see a lot of is n00bs who don't know their way around their own hardware who have all kinds of problems which they erroneously assume was the fault of their GPU drivers--because they don't know any better. I've read massive "Mea Culpa" threads from people who wrote negative posts about their AMD drivers who came back later and confessed it was something else--usual case is ram overclocking, etc.

In group policy I have driver updates in Win10 Pro turned off--had it set that way for more than a year or two--and it seems to work just fine. As a matter of habit I always reinstall my AMD drivers after installing a new build because sometimes Windows has a habit of overwriting some of my driver's files--which is not AMD's problem--but a characteristic of Win10 build upgrades. I also update my Ethernet networking drivers and my RealTek sound drivers, too, for the same reason. Things don't crash because of this--I just do it out of habit--a good habit, I think.

I have to be honest about this--people don't use much common sense on this issue, but if AMD was nearly as bad as some folks make it out to be they'd never be able to sell a single GPU, eh? Think about it.

EDIT: Matrox?...Matrox is not even competitive as a 3d GPU these days. I owned some great Matrox cards in the 90's--2d-only of course. Intel has traditionally been horrible at D3d/OpenGL support in it's IGPs. Intel hasn't made a discrete 3d card in >20 years since it dropped out of the field for discrete GPU after it's i740's many years ago.

ATM, the only manufacturers who make reliable competitive 3d-acceleration GPUs which accelerate D3d, OpenGL and Vulkan APIs are AMD and nVidia. Matrox and Intel are not even in the running.

I definitely side with waltc on the Intel/Nvidia vs AMD/Radeon hardware debate. I haven't bought an Intel chip since the Pentium floating point debacle and didn't have much luck with Nvidia either. Seems to me that moderators could move these discussions to hardware forums.

Opening Task View and clicking on past viewed items does not open them up again for me.
