This morning I fired up my PC for some routine tasks. It went into a blue screen Windows update mode, with a big "percentage clock", stating that the PC may need to restart multiple times. I left it running, it took over an hour to complete what it was doing.
Following the update the PC was running very very slowly, it had also changed my screensaver settings, and curiously, if I check Devialet AIR in the Windows sound card GUI (playback devices) it is now re-named "Hi-Fi cable input (Devialet AIR).
AIR has been faultless for me for a while, so nervous that something had gone horribly wrong I tried a few tunes, music ran ok for about two minutes, then was stop / starting very badly. Not stuttering, but stopping for a while, then starting for a second or two, then stopping again.
I left the PC on whilst I went out for a couple of hours, trying AIR etc. now, all seams to be fine. But why such an apparently huge update months after migrating to W10, why has AIR now got it's Hi-Fi cable tag?
Does anyone know what is going on?
For info, I have been running Windows 10 since about last June, it is a reasonably speedy quad core machine, and I have cable super duper fast broadband, which routinely runs at 140 to 160kbs.
I'm glad my car doesn't do things like this, I'm sure I'd wake up one morning and find I'd got the MS Square Wheels update or some such nonsense after it had been driving fine for months.
