Windows 10 drivers

So far I've tried drivers 344.11, Quadro 344.11 + 344.16 on this OS and all have run fine with BF4 and Firestrike Extreme. BF4 was already installed onto a separate SSD I just linked them together through Origin. The trouble I seem to get is the NVCP not wanting to open after a reboot and my DK2 not working. I'm enjoying testing it out though.

Recent run with 344.16.

 

344.11 works like a charm for me

 

anyone going to install windows 7 tonight?

 

I honestly reinstalled windows 7 sp1 x64 this morning, lol.

 

The DP and the RC (or was it CP) looked real nice though. They updated Aero Glass before yanking it from the RTM. Funny thing is it worked perfectly, and worked differently to Windows 7 since it was Direct2D based, not Direct3D. This meant it didn't upset full screen Direct3D applications and it was considerably faster.

 

Might be Beta or RC time before proper drivers become available. Don't expect full compatibility with everything. The purpose of the technical preview is to fault find and make suggestions about Windows, nothing to do with how soon the full driver support comes. You could think of it as pre-beta 1, so essentially just out of alpha status. There will be bugs, and you should report them! Also keep in mind that what you do is tracked so they can improve the cohesiveness (put very basically). It's not meant as an everyday OS that requires reliability. That said, do try it out, and do full testing with applications, games etc, and report any issues. Maybe dual boot? (not sure if you can). The more testing done on it the better the RTM will be.

 

334.16 run great, gained fps in lotr

nv control pannel seems to have issues and wont open sometimes tho

 

WTF...if Nvidia, Amd and Ms did there job properly then uninstall would do what its supposed to do but reg keys get left behind, personally i use Auslogics boostspeed to clean my reg and have done for last few yrs and my system runs nicely because of it.

 

This. But most people don't understand how Windows actually works and think that the following...

...actually means anything . Just a hint, a registry key being "left behind" doesn't affect things whatsoever nowadays, and generally are set there purposefully for a reason regardless. Unless you're using Windows 95 still, that is.

Nakquada is absolutely right here. While digging round manually has its place for people who actually understand what things are and how they work, 99.99% of people do not and mistakenly think they are helping themselves by using automated tools that don't really do much of anything useful, let alone rarely anything good.

Why would I install a poorer os with worse performance and less UI polish than Win 8? Haven't had to use Win7 except for compatibility testing in years, thankfully... it's like using Vista after Win7 came out.

 

BF4 works fine here coming from update on 8.1.

 

Driver 344.11 WHQL is working perfectly with Windows 10 TP

The problem you all are having is Windows Update is locked to Automatically Install Updates which installs the 340.52 driver from Windows Update. So when trying to get rid of it and then installing 344.11 will mess up the system.

The Fix:

1. After Windows 10 TP is installed first thing you need to do is goto "Run"

2. Type in "gpedit.msc"

3. Goto Administrative Templates/Windows Update

4. On the right hand side find "Configure Automatic Updates" set that to "Disabled" then click Apply.

5. Now you can install 344.11

 

Or you just open the System Properties, go to the Hardware tab and change the Device Installation Settings to not download drivers from Windows Update.

That way you will at least still get the other updates.

 

you all are brave to install a new early s.o.....

 

It is clear that this is not a "Developer Preview" fiasco like Windows 8 had early on. The Technical Preview is extremely polished, I can only find one real flaw, that is using this on an Nvidia Optimus laptop. Works perfectly on a fresh desktop install with a GTX 970. Waiting on an update from Nvidia to fix the GUI hangs and difficulty using the dedicated GPU for 3D programs.

 

So far I had 1 crash of the drivers (344.11) in Skyrim and I have another piece of software that doesn't want to work in Windows 10 for now. But it's not that different than Windows 8.1 was, so for now I'll stick with it.

 

Finally i can run Archeage in directx 11, with win 10 Preview 64x and the 344.11 whql, in windows 7 64x was imposible, always blue screen and crashes..

I'm really happy, don't need more, runs perfectly estable

 

Would that prevent Windows from installing the default NVIDIA driver from its driver store, or whatever its called, upon uninstalling/reboot? (it's not actually downloading the driver every time right?)

 

I have a GTX 680 and it doesnt install a driver for me when installing Win10 TP, Im not sure about other cards.

 

Hi guys,

Just did a full install of win10 TP and can't get rid of the Store app wich keeps me from activating both SLI & surround.

Any idea ?

I went in taskmanager details, could get rid of it, checked in the services thumbnail and it said it was "stopped" but ... stil can't activate neither surround nor sli.

If some one knows howto

PS: geforce 344.11 whql are on

Edit : Got it working !

How?
-> everything concerning wsservice( windows store) was off and couldn't activate sli nor surround, i came here asking for a tip or 2.
Then i tried to restart store app in the "new task" option in the task manager and couldn't. So i decided to restart the computer.
went in nvcpl, headed for activation of sli/surround while doing nothing to the store app in any way and it was ok, sli and surround are on

 

Try ending the "Application Frame Host" .exe in task manager, should be down the bottom of the details tab. Works for me.
