Anniversary update changed settings for the worse

[cynicoren]

Hello,

After the win10 update last night the anniversary update, windows changed for the worse: screen resolution changed - I use a 1920X1080 screen, but If I define this as resolution, the borders disappear, so I must use 1776X1000.
Other than that, game menus are slower and even lagging, fps dropped (I run a I5 R290 computer, on nba2k12 it fell from 60 to 50).
Should I rollback? Is it safe, or should I wait for a windows 10 fix?
Please advise,

Thanks

There have been so many problems with the update that Microsoft is preparing a response in the form of a bug-fix update.

Please just try to deal with it until that comes out. I don't have an exact date.

What boarders?
forget it... do this:

1. Change the resolution to 1920x1080
2. Find the auto adjust function on your monitor. (Click menu then look for it. It's different for many different monitors.)
(If you have a TV then try rebooting the computer after changing the resolution.)

Many people have rolled back because of issues in the 1607 update.

All of these errors are why I do a lot of research on which vendors are more likely to be more unstable in certain conditions, then pick my hardware accordingly and build custom.

I hate manufacturers like Dell and HP, their BIOS (or UEFI) are so simple that it's just begging for something to go wrong. Then, because of their sheer simplicity, they don't have a proper response to the problem so the system becomes unstable.

Actually the 2 Hp and 3 Dells , that I updated have been fine , most issues aren't with prebuilts.

I'm basing that last post on the differences between different versions of Windows, like 7 to 10.

However, an update that changes the basic behavior of Windows could also trigger these problems, could it not?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes it can , I'm just glad mine are all stable , no issues.

All mine are at 1607.

I didn't have any troubles with my system at all.

Although one of my clients had a lot of issues... After it installed, it restarted and launched Startup Repair which found no issues and booted normally. Then she had no Taskbar, but could open the Start Menu with the Windows key. So I told her to restart the explorer.exe process. She then had a Taskbar that looked like a bad game of Tetris running from halfway up the left side of the screen to the top right corner. I told her to restart the machine and then press the Windows key to open the Start Menu. The Start Menu appeared but there was no Taskbar, just a blurred out area of the desktop background where the Taskbar was supposed to be. So I renamed UsrClass.dat to UsrClass.old.dat, logged out and logged back in. And what do you know, problem solved.

Why can't Microsoft make something more stable? I mean, they had a year to prepare this.

It's a TV. Didn't work, but I made it work with the GPU driver changing Scaling.

I got a fix last night on my Surface Book. Not sure what it fixed because I didn't have any issues before the update.

The Surface Book is proprietary to Microsoft... It may not receive vendor specific updates at the same time as other systems.

Yes i know as I also have an Alienware and I only received Office 2013 updates. I received 2 updates one was for security and the other said Windows 10 1607 update. Typically the most updates I get are intel drivers.
