Since that little window installed itself on my rig during the last round of Windows updates, I am having some issues. My spacebar is not starting and stopping my music like it should. anyone having any trouble with this app?

No, because I don't do the updates unless there is a need, and in the 18 or so months since I built my rigs, there hasn't been a need, and I am quite happy with W7 Pro, no intention of moving further until it is absolutely necessary due to software or hardware support etc.
 
Having said that, on one of my laptops which I use for the net, which i do update from time to time, I did get the feeling of a possible slow down since I last updated, which contained the Windows 10 thingy, nothing drastic, but I did think it wasn't quite as snappy, no more updates for me.

Hmmm...wondering if I should do a system restore now. Updates haven't bothered me before. I'm not really sure this one is either. Guess I'll just keep watching it.

It may not be using CPU, but it is annoying. I can't seem to make it go away. I've uninstalled the update, but it comes back. I choose "hide" in the sys tray, and it comes back every boot.
 
It really pisses me off when some corporate clown thinks it's OK to put something on my desktop without asking my permission.
 
Screw you, Microsoft. We can't even update to 10 for a year. You gonna make my look at your icon for a year? Screw you.
 
(That felt good. Thanks!)
 

Mine is running as well as ever - 30+ synths on buffer 256 with no latency. I DID run into a massive latency issue earlier in the month - turns out the LP64 Multiband was causing it (I normally never use it until mixing). I don't advise using that plug until you're done programming/tracking.

What are you talking about?

Grum.

hmm... I haven't updated my DAW for a little while so I haven't gotten that particular thingie. Anyone know the specific item name in WIndows Update so I can disable it?
 
Also... I have not been seeing it on my laptop which I update regularly. Is it perhaps in the Optional Updates? I never unstall those so perhaps that's why (in which case I won't have to worry about it on my DAW either).
 
Cheers.

Grum,
 
I'm talking about what the thread title says.
 
It's a little icon that, when clicked, takes you to a page about upgrading to Windows 10.
 
I'd love to know how to get rid of it.

Here's a procedure for doing that:

there may be another reason for the slow down, I signed up for a free upgrade to windows 10, and I have not noticed any slowdown whatsoever on my computer, or any program or app, it doesn't seem to have any effect here.
