taslss Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has done the Windows 10 update that just came out. I read somewhere that it was causing problems with installs of FSX. I haven't updated yet. Would like a little bit more info from those who have. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My current FSX (Gold boxed) install dates from W8.0 (2014?). It survived the 8.1, 10 and the latest W10 Creator's Update without problems. I use the 64bit version btw. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taslss Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 I should have mentioned I'm running FSX Gold Boxed version and using a 64bit version as well. Thank you for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Running FSX Gold on Win 10 64-bit. Win 10 is fully updated, never any issues that I have seen. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longbreak754 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Come to the party a bit late on this one..............but If you haven't done the update yet..........DON'T............. It appears that the vast majority of reported issues (mainly all compatibility related) caused by the update is because users have 'rushed' to get the update and have done a manual update/install. This is because doing the install manually introduces incompatible files into the OS as it does not include a compatibility test beforehand. Let MS install it onto your rig via the auto update route as the installer runs the compatibility test before hand and will not install any incompatible files. You can check whether you have the update installed by either right clicking on the Start Menu button and selecting Run (or by pressing the Win key + R) and typing winver in the resulting box and then clicking OK - this will open a info window that displays the version info - 1703 is the Creators update and 1607 is the Anniversary update - the minor reversion numbers are then displayed after this main version number. FTR I have two rigs running W10/FSX - one is updated to 1703 and the other is still at 1607 - both are running with no issues. The info I posted above is based on info I found on various websites when I was helping a friend resolve an issue he encountered after manually installing said update - he is a member of the armed forces and decided to manually update his rig before deploying to a location that does not have any public use WIFI networks available.

taslss Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Well, Windows updated just fine and everything is functioning as it did before. No problems at all. And this was done with the automatic update. I just finally agreed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabe5454 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 A1 okay+1. Everything works. I was checking updates found a bunch and did them all at once. A little less than an hour total time. Box btw. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDDAIR Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Interesting!! The Mrs. and I have Win 10. Her PC is months newer than mine (Both Identical), from 2016, but she has the updated 1703 version and mine is still at 1607 as of this writing. She told me a Windows Update took away her "Personalization" category in Control Panel. I am assuming this might be related to this update since it recently happened. I have not looked into it because when I mess with a PC, well, you might guess... After a review of both machines tonight -"Control Panel", her "Display" category is also gone.

zswobbie1 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 No problems or issues at all on my 5 year old i5 4Gb laptop. I manually did the upgrade & everything works as usual, nothing missing! Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longbreak754 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 @ Redd, Does the two missing categories appear as options if you right click on a clear area of the desktop? Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDDAIR Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 @ Redd, Does the two missing categories appear as options if you right click on a clear area of the desktop? Yes, they are shown/there but the Mrs. claims there is something "Different" about the content now (Personalization now does not have Screensaver, she says). I do not question her recall. She has an excellent memory! Thanks for pointing out the access. My PC still has these items in Control Panel. REDD Redd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwi Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I was looking at the MS websites for the same problem. There was one tip from MS which says: if you do not get the creators update via automatic update, do not update W10 manually by yourself with creators download from MS website Peter Ancient I7-2600@3900, 24gb ram, 250gb ssd win10/64, 500gb ssd fsx, 500gb ssd p3d v3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TseTse Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 OK, I'll admit that my installation is not FSX, but P3D. BUT... Yes, the Creators' Update did ruin the sim for me. The splashscreen and menu showed up alright but whenever I'd try to start a flight, the sim would complete loading then CTD. Tried uninstalling addons and flushing out config files to no avail. In the end, I had to reinstall P3D. http://i.imgur.com/iMDlMAv.jpg TseTse i5-9600K @ 3.7~4.5GHz | RTX2060 Super 8GB | 32GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB Samsung 840EVO | Z390 Chipset | Windows 10 x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
