More 1803 bugs - video card no longer works after 1709

robmar0se · 12 Jul 2018

Upto 1709 System worked fine with Nvidia hd560ti video card. After 1803 we got page fault blue screens. If we removed the Nvidia driver (in safe mode & using DDU), system was fine with default M$ driver.. We replaced the Nvidia card with a Radeon HD 7950 card, installed the AMD drivers and it also works fine. So no actual bug other than 1803.

The 1803 upgrade has caused so many problems, M$ should really provide an option so that we do NOT have to have these upgrades. M$ reputation with Win10 and its current system of 6 monthly upgrades is madness, as each one potentially causes more problems.

Whats the best way for users to voice their opinion of the current update system so that M$ can take this issue more seriously than they are?

Hi,
1. Use the Feedback Hub app.
2. Post comments on MS sites e.g. the relevant section of technet.

You have 10 days to roll back to the previous build (but would then have to act to stop the upgrade).
Three is a Tutorial in the Tutorial section (see 'Go back to the previous build').

Note that it is possible to stop an upgrade being applied:
- Home: you have to be somewhat technically adroit. This has been discussed a few times here.
- Pro: you can defer upgrades up to 365 days

How do you protect yourself and give yourself more ways of going back to a previous working state? Use disk imaging routinely, as we constantly recommend. Eg. Macrium Reflect (free) + large external storage.

I suggest you check compatibility with Nvidia and Nvidia's site, or that of your PC with its manufacturer.
