Windows 10 Experience
"Tony Cooper" wrote in message
... Over the weekend I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It's a painless experience and went without a hitch. All my apps carried over and opened OK. However, went I tried to use the Develop module in Lightroom, and tried to edit in CC 2015, things hung up with that "Not responding" message. Every time. The Library module in LR worked fine. I did some web sleuthing and found this a fairly common problem and is usually a problem with the graphics card drivers. I tried some fixes, but nothing eliminated the problem. Overall, I saw nothing special about Windows 10. There are some differences in the Desktop that take a little getting used to, but no particular advantages that I could determine. Cortana works OK, and voice-opened apps and searched pretty well. That "feature" doesn't ring my bell, though. I feel silly talking to the machine when I can get where I want to go just as easily using my fingers on the keyboard or using the mouse. I suppose I'm a primitive cave dweller. I went back Windows 7. That went well also. No hitches at all, and everything is now back as it was. PS and LR work a treat. I'm not anti-10, but I have no further interest in the upgrade. I suppose I'll have to accept 10 if and when I buy a new computer, but that computer will assumedly have the right graphics card drivers. Just to be clear, I *think* it was a graphics card driver but never really determined that this was the problem with LR and PS, or that this was the only problem. I didn't bother to re-install either app. Because 10 was nothing special otherwise, I didn't pursue a solution beyond a few steps. I had a strange Windows 1- experience that I thought was a graphic card problem. I updated four computers simultaneously one night. Like yours, my upgrades went on without a hitch. I use my desktop 99% of the time when I'm home. I noticed some apps misbehaving - Canon Digital Photo Professional, Sigma Photo Pro, Ashampoo Burning Studio 15, and Photoshop ACR. Canon DPP would take two minutes to open and then would stop responding when I converted the first raw file. Sigma Photo Pro would take about three minutes to open and then worked OK but slowly. Ashampoo Burning Studio would take about five minutes to pen but would work fine after that. Adobe ACR disabled gpu acceleration in order to run. That hinted at a graphics card/driver issue. I did install new Windows 10 drivers for my card but the card wasn't fully supported it seemed. I went back to Win 8.1 and got a new video card. I installed it and then upgraded to Win 10 and had the same problem. I then did what I should have done sooner - I checked Event Viewer and found a slew of errors, one after another. It was the same error and the first one corresponded with the time I clicked on Canon DPP to open it and the last corresponded with the time the program stopped responding. The error was that my external CD/DVD drive had a bad sector. Strange. Why would that cause all of these problems. I opened the drive up and found I had left a disc in there. I took the disk out and problem solved, no more issues. I put the disc back in and couldn't replicate the problem. Never saw anything like that before. My Win 10 experience is now just fine, everything works very well. I don't use Lightroom so I can't relate to your experience with that but Photoshop CC works fine. |
