Bug in Windows 10 Insiders-build crashes games

There's a big nasty bug in the insiders-build version of Windows 10 that has an effect on PC gamers. Likely a good number of you guys have that build installed, hence this news-item. Microsoft shares word that PC gamers should pay attention with updates as a number of big games like Fallout 4 and Assasin's Creed can crash.

The bug presents itself in the fast-ring update for Windows 10. These are alpha versions of the OS. The big exposes itself and appears when the user will go from windowed mode towards full-screen mode. Numerous games will then crash completely.

Microsoft already stated that titles like The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed and Metal Gear Solid V are effected but also states it's likely a wider range of games involved.

Microsoft on Thursday released build 11102 which only hold small updates.

This is INSANE. This is the biggest "nasty" bug in the history of software design. Microsoft is the worstest, meanestest, most hostile software company. Can you imagine if another company ever had a bug in a free beta preview build of their software? This is ridiculous and the whole company should just shut down for this aggressive damaging behavior. I think there should be a congressional hearing and a law should be created banning software companies for providing free preview builds of their software. We must protect the children!

I am in the insider program, but I stick to the slow track. I get the new builds just a few weeks before general release, so all the big bugs are usually worked out. If you are an insider and use it on your main rig I would suggest you switch from fast to slow.

I really would not use the in any "afraid to move on in os's" argument

You mean Windows "ME".

Vista was fine on launch.
Issue was majority of people barely had 1GB ram, old hardware for XP and down.

Gpu drivers were a mess but vista itself was fine on the average.

What hurt vista as well was OEM's like Dell and Gateway selling Vista Ready pcs with 512 and 1gb ram and they run like utter crap.

I had vista from beta 2 till windows 7 launch. Never regretted it, and never really had an issue either.

Bill@TheGang are losing nerves:

huge $ losses because of the decreased demand of "their" phones, tablets and consoles, and very, very slow adoption of win10...
Why should we wonder? The Android is dominating the market 'cause of it's high customizability and "openness", Sony is the king in console area, Apple is the king of tablets (closely followed by Android). The only area where m$ is not left out in the cold is PC gaming (yeah, yeah, DX that is). And, lo and behold: that's EXACTLY where they make huge blunders! :infinity:
