My blue screens of death are back, plus more TSW crashes, maybe this is the cause. https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/10/12/windows-10-bug-report-app-login-issues-bsod-other-bugs/
That blue screen error is for version 2004 I think.. which version are you running? Many are still on 1909
I too had issues with the latest updates and found that KB4579311 was the offender that caused me nothing but grief, so I unibstalled it and everything seems to be good now.
Have you tried updating from here.. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 instead of letting windows do it the normal way?
I don't even know what version I'm on, it's been completely stable for me so reluctant to force update, is there any benefit in doing so?
It makes no difference. I updated from that very link. There is no US or UK version of windows. They're all the same.
Security, and with windows 10 it will eventually push the update any way, so there's no avoiding it - there's nowhere to hide There are no features in this update that you need. Apparently touch screen and tablet users get some nice features, but desktop... meh. There's better syncing between Win and Android devices apparently... if that's important but other than that... there's no great rush. Just let the MS Nazis force it upon you when they're ready.
Yeah pretty sure my security updates are up to date as it does auto check and update them itself, assuming that's what this means anyway.. I'll wait, as I'm a firm believer in if it aint broke, don't fix it..
Easiest way to find the windows version - Windows key + r/R - type in "winver" - OK - that's it! Or, winver in the search button that looks like a circle on a stick. Reef: "So back to my original question, is there any point/reason to update?" Your question surely should be -"is there any point/reason NOT to update?" pKa
Reef I was going to say "frying pan", 'tennis racquet" - magnifying glass totally eluded me. ROFL! PH if you cannot use winver then there is something amiss with your windows install - it is a basic windows command probably since windows 95. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-running-628bec99-476a-2c13-5296-9dd081cdd808
I don't recall saying I cannot use it. I said it is no longer the easiest way to check which version you have. That would now be win+pause.
Sorry, I misunderstood your response, but as far as I know winver shows the specific info about the windows version, I couldn't see that on the windows + pause break - am I missing something?
yes.. you're missing the latest version of windows that now allows you to access that information (and more) by pressing win+pause
Which version is that and when was it released according to my PC I am on the latest version???? That is there are no more updates to upload.
Winver still works though... As does the control panel version. 20H2 consolidates both of those into the panel in settings now... I think it always did actually, so perhaps more accurately, it now can be directly accessed with win+pause.
Ah yes! Not available for me at this point! Thanks for the info! Looking at your screenshots the info is much clearer in WINVER!!
Hang on... you ARE on the latest version. Build 19042.572. Oh well... if you cannot use win+pause, then there is something amiss with your windows install Is it something that's been disabled? You appear to be on a works computer where you do not have full admin privileges according to your screenshot.
PH But NOT on 20H2 (I am on Version 2004) - which is a progressive worldwide install by Windows that has not reached me yet! It is not a works computer - it is one of the vagaries of Windows that you can't correct except by a new clean install.
I've been having issues with the game crashing just about every time I'm in a scenario after anywhere from 2 - 10 mins. Current version look to be: Should I be looking at updating to 2009 as per the link in this comment from Pookeyhead ?
No.. it will almost certainly make no difference whatsoever. This thread came about because someone said they were getting blue screens of death generally, not anything to do with TS, and asked if a windows update had anything to do with it. If TS crashes while in a scenario after a certain amount of time, I'd be suspecting a thermal problem before anything else (unless the same scenario crashes in precisely the same place every time). Have you checked your CPU and GPU temps while in game? IS TS the only game you play? Does anything else crash? Is your machine stable? Have you stress tested it?
Just a guess but are you exiting the game between each scenario? Running scenarios back-to-back without quiting the game can cause crashes.
If you're bothered... you can force the update here... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Have you tried fixing it in the group policy editor? Personally, I'd just nuke it, and start again... I'll assume you're fully backed up, yes?
I'll wait until its my turn to upgrade - no rush to update. I'm happy with my set up it works well for me- however, thanks for the info!
Sorry for the delay, I went to the site, but I was not sure what to download so i clicked help and typed "update failed" I was told to open command prompt and type sfc/scannow It returned system errors and repaired them I did another update request and all the failed updates down loaded and installed . Thank you so much Mike
