If you dont want edge or chrome, try this:
Or Vivaldi.
Edit: on GPU scheduling, any real world benchmarks that show improvement in games yet? and only for 2080 or also older gpus?
I saw one site that showed very minor improvements on Turing, and some comments saying it messed up playing video on monitor 2 while gaming on monitor 1. So it seems like a real YMMV.
Cheers. So like most things with Windows 10 patches, add something, break something. RND(2) per installation. After I finally fixed the .NET issues I had, i’m not eager to install another patch just yet.
Well, nobody’s forcing you to switch it on.
True, but it is being hyped so it would’ve been nice if it actually worked, gave a “boost” and had no downsides, no?
Seems like they fixed the printer issue May patch introduced for some, so at least that one is no longer a current issue.
It could totally be Nvidia’s fault. They’re the ones who are supposed to test their drivers.
Isn’t WHQL done at Microsoft, or have they pulled an FAA/Boeing and given the vendor permission to test/quality/certify the gear themselves.
I turned the GPU scheduling on and it seems exactly the same. Video still works on my second monitor while gaming.
With the latest Nvidia drivers? What GPU you got, 2080?
Lol yeah, I forced the May update, installed the Nvidia driver, and don’t notice any difference. Admittedly all I tried was No Man’s Sky VR, which would really benefit from the extra GPU horsepower so maybe it’s still just not enough. :)
Sumbitch! I’ve been noticing, or at least thinking, my monitor seems a little off. Sort of a gold tinge. But I wasn’t for sure because it’s just not super obvious, like maybe my desktop background has always been slightly golden hued and I’m just noticing. Anyway, I started looking at it more closely and still couldn’t decide if it was me or the monitor. Making me think I’m crazy, it was!
I eventually go into my display settings and all looks good. I notice this little toggle for ‘night light’…whatever the hell that is. I ignore it for a few minutes and work my way back to it. It’s just a single toggle off/on, so I click the toggle and it turns off and low and behold my monitor’s golden tint brightens back to normal. WTF? I then glance over to the right and see that it says this toggle is for ‘helping you go to sleep by displaying warmer colors at night’. Again, WTF? Who leaves their monitor on and visible (not sleep mode) when they’re trying to sleep? Is this new? I never noticed any evening color changes before so either its new (and insane) or I toggled it by mistake…or a kid did.

Some people wear orange glasses to achieve the same effect. Blue light blockers.
Ok thanks. I wondered after I posted if it might have something to do with this. Still no idea how it turned on. I have reading glasses I used when at the computer that had the blue blocking film on it.
Got my first BSoD last night, the first in many years. It was an IRQ error string, didn’t bother writing it down, was surfing the web in Firefox and it happened. Surprised the crap out of me though.
That’s not normal. Might be looking at a HW failure, maybe a bad DIMM.
Could just be a cosmic ray hitting his non-ECC RAM and overwriting the wrong bit. If it doesn’t happen frequently I wouldn’t worry about it.
Windows 10 build 2004 caused my Linux filesystems driver to randomly green screen (not blue for insider previews!) with Linux drives mounted. Uninstalling it and re-installing it later fixed it. Not sure if there was an update of the filesystem driver in there.
Point being, sometimes stuff breaks. If it isn’t happening consistently don’t worry too much - as @stusser said. It is a good reminder to consider adding a hard drive for backups though!
