I updated to Creator's Update, but Edge doesn't work. Other than that, it is running fine at the moment.
Hey I'm kind of a computer beginner but I had a question about data usage. The past 3 months my comcast usage has doubled and I wasn't sure why. I checked out some stuff and twitch takes up 1 gb of data for every hour it's on. I've been watching twitch streams for years and this has been only become a problem recently. Any tips on how to reduce the usage? Chrome has shown 800 gb of usage just from my laptop, which is ridiculous.

Stream at lower resolutions. Lower bitrate=less bandwidth consumption.
Thanks for the advice, but that wasn't an issue until recently, and I've watched a lot more streams in the past. Any other reason why google chrome could be using so much data?
I don't know, man, I completely lost trust in MS. Everything they tried seem to be half-assed for me. Whether it's their email program, DVR, multi-monitor support and UI scaling among other different things (none related to the Creator's update, yet). And after reading so many troubles (plus I think MS tries to take away control from the user with every new Windows version and update) I just stick with a running system.

My guess would be recent changes to Twitch which allows higher resolution/bitrates for non-partnered accounts. You're probably now watching them at 1080p60 with higher bitrates than before, on average.
You could test it with another browser and see if you observe different results, but I doubt it's a browser issue.

Why do OneDrive keeps randomly downloading files I didn't asked it to, nor any application is trying to use them?
Edit: With on demand active.

I think I pin pointed what the issue is. Whenever I add a video file to my Onedrive it will download the entire video, create a thumbnail and then delete the local file, and I think it does that for pictures too...
Is this the correct behavior? Seems like a total waste.
Anyone else have trouble installing the creators update? I've been trying to install it several times now and when it's installing on the black screen it hits 40% and then pops up an error saying "Windows 10 could not configure one or more components. Please restart the update again" and that's it no warning or error numbers. I've gone through all the online topics and tried all the fixes/solutions and I can't seem to get it to work.

After Fall Creators Update hit I think I'll leave the insider program.
I was just taking a look at my feedback. There are some annoying bugs I reported over a year and a half ago that still haven't been fixed, and I usually provide screens, captures, steps on how to replicate the issue... And nothing. Not to mention some countless features that got merged and got a respectable amount of votes but they are largely ignored too.
I'm sure Ms listen to someone, but if they are not listening to me, what's the point for me to continue in the program?

I tried the user-group fix but it did not work for me. I was thinking Bitdefender might be the problem, but it's working fine on my SP3.King Gilga

Had to format my PC and now I can't log in my Microsoft account. It says profile couldn't be loaded etc. I can sign in fine through the web browser but not through the Windows Store or the account section in settings.
^ OS Build #?
Type winver in start menu.
Base version of Creator's Update (15063.0) is problematic for upgrades. First cumulative update fixed it, but sometimes setup doesn't apply cumulative update during upgrade for some installations. Without cumulative patches, computers behave what you described.

Version 1703 Build 15063.632
Last time this happened to me it was the Intel network adapter itself, not something on the network, waking the PC.
In device manager look for your network adapter and ensure it's set to not be able to wake your PC.

4k Scaling truly is Broken for ever right ?

has any one ever had a problem with their PC or laptop auto dimming videos? The screen darkens during dark scenes for some reason, and I've tried every setting related to brightness and googled the problem a 1000 times, but I can't fix it. Thanks.
Anyone using RS3 final build? Is it reliable enough?
That sounds like Intel graphic driver and its powersaving features.

I'm going back to 7. This os is a nightmare. I couldn't fix disk usage 100%. I was forced to update yesterday, when the pc was fine 2 days ago.
What a headache.
Edit: and what you know, windows 7 works perfectly.

I'm waiting for the RTM ISOs to get published before upgrading.
Consider setting up GPT partitioning as well for UEFI systems since you're clean installing.
No and no. Build is initially better than 15063, but there is still some cleanup to do. I wouldn't jump to 16299.15 when it appears. Wait for next cumulative update.
Guess you can try resetting again.
Diagnosing this kind of stuff on a message board is not easy. There is also no incentive to help people here since no one is getting paid.

I paid someone but he couldn't find a fix so he refunded me. I guess I'll have to reset my PC again.

oh. i thought it was the only one. tried to install the update (1709) got stuck at a black screen so it reverted me back.

Scaling is a fundamental problem which Windows itself can never fully address because it relies on apps knowing about High DPI.

Why the fuck does Windows 10 automatically install free2play games and other crap apps? Clean install of the Fall Creators Update (1709) and there's almost a gigabyte worth of this unwanted shit already there. Candy Crush, Facebook, March of Empires, Minecraft, etc. Why?!?! Pro version and using offline account (not logged into Windows Store). Is there any way to disable this during the installation process that I've missed?
Does it really install it or are those only tiles that start downloading things once you click on them? But yeah, that shit is stupid.
Update is finished but now I get get a compatibility assistant message every 10 seconds and it won't stop. I manged to uninstall the app in question but as it's Riva Statistics Tuner I want to keep it. I haven't tried the update it sent me to as I don't want to go through the whole process again.

Nevermind it was a battery issue.
I am sorry but this is too funny, how quick people blame MS for whatever issue they currently have.
(edit) fixing an oversight in my original post below
It's there.
My laptop has two GPUs: One integrated and one discrete.
In the panel I see both of them, one is GPU 0 and the other is GPU1.
You sure you got the fall creators update? Your windows version should be 1709 if so. You can check this from typing "winver" in the run panel by pressing Win+R
DonMigs85

Yes 1709 with all the other new stuff. Maybe it doesn't support older integrated GPUs?
LukasTaves
Member
It does, but there's a driver requirement I don't recall.
brotkasten
Member
Your driver needs to be WDDM 2.0 compatible, I think.
You can check it by running dxdiag (WIN + R, "dxdiag") and then switch to the display tab. It shows you the current driver model on the right side under driver.

And the user who was asking about it just happens to have an Intel HD 4000 integrated GPU.
LukasTaves

What's the gpu on the SP3? Because mine show the gpu info in it, and I think it's even prior to the HD 4000
