Crunch time- Win10, Win11, FS9, and you.

Um, meanwhile.. I had something happen last night (10/15) that I didn't expect.
A Win 10 update. :rolleyes:
Maybe the cut-off wasn't really the cut-off? :unsure:

Are you using MS Defender as anti-virus? Because it might have been an update of the virus definitions.

Cheers,

Drat! I thought we were finally free of updates and the worry that they would break some software or mess up my settings! :confusion:

Mick, Have you had any 'broken' updates?
I gotta admit that I'm somewhat lucky!
Fingers crossed, I've never had a broken update, from Windows 7, 8.1, 10 & now 11.

That was the last of the Patch Tuesday combined feature and security updates for Windows 10! If registered for / enrolled in Windows 10 ESU Program, then going forward, will only receive security updates / OS security fixes until October 13, 2026; no further feature updates unfortunately!

It's been a while since a bit of software stopped working after an update -maybe even back to the Win7pro days before I got my Win10 rig up and running. But it's been fairly common to find settings scrambled, not a disaster but very annoying!

Huub; I'm pretty certain you and wolfebee are correct and I do run Defender as my A/V software. :ernaehrung004:

I can also understand Mick's point. I've had some "graphics" updates that messed up my ground textures (aka the "sparkly" ground texture problem) and also made the shading on my gray-tone aircraft a LOT darker. This was probably due to a graphics driver update or a core Windows update that messed up my drivers. :indecisiveness: I think a lot of this can come down to what type and brand of graphics card you might have installed.
As Mick wrote, it isn't a disaster but its annoying.
 
So, as a related update:

*WAAAH*, my Purple Performance mode is now blue. :eek:
This isn't a big deal, it just means Samsung has a new update for its Magician software.
I run a Samsung SSD in this (Win10) rig and an M.2 in its younger Win11 cousin.

If you configure your Samsung drives for Performance Mode and Over-provisioning, the Magician background screen would have purple highlights. This has been updated to a more generic blue.
I had a feeling that an update was on the way, there were reports of a Win11 update that was causing drive meltdowns although I haven't noticed any problems. Why there are different modes has always puzzled me. If you run a portable device I can see it, on a desktop PC it doesn't compute. The Over-provisioning stuff is neat. If Win needs it, 10% of the drive can be used as system RAM. :wiggle: Which could come in handy if I ever decide to fly a "cover-the-globe" flight to check on all of the AI and scenery. :loyal:
