MyGaming recently reported <\/a><\/strong>on a new Windows 10 update that had inadvertently caused micro-stutters and reduced performance in-game.<\/p>\n

In truth, this is systemic of a much wider issues with Windows 10 updates that did not impact its previous OS releases – it doesn’t allow you to choose whether or not you want to update to a new patch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As PCMag writes<\/a><\/strong>, this has much bigger implications than just performance issues in games:<\/p>\n

So here is what we can expect, something that could easily happen in the next few years:<\/p>\n

Instead of a simple reboot issue, a patch goes out that fries the machine dead.<\/p>\n

There is no reboot problem because the machine will not boot at all and you cannot get far enough to even revert to the previous install.<\/p>\n

We are getting a glimpse into the future if Microsoft persists with forced upgrades; the company needs to rethink its strategy immediately.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The problem doesn’t have to be as severe as that to cause massive issues either – simple UI changes or “upgrades” to code could break your PC at Microsoft’s whim.<\/p>\n

We trust Microsoft to prevent these\u00a0types of issues from occurring, but the recent release of a patch <\/a><\/strong>that causes performance issues in games is\u00a0slightly worrying.<\/p>\n
