Got a new win 10 laptop and installed creators update on it. It's running well so far, but a few friends told me that Creators update causes crashes and hugs and that I should roll back.

Anyone here with creators update experiences?

I have a laptop with win 10 home 1703, 8GB ram and Nvidia GPU, if any of that matters.

    Never change a running system. If you encounter a problem, check the net not only for people with the problem on creators, but also for people who run the software just fine with creators. A pc is a complex system and there a lot of different hardware and software components that can do well or not so well together.

    @explosg I think I'm on the new ones :( I'm not a heavy specs gamer, I only play games released pre 2014, indie games etc. Will I be severely affected?

    @Witness maybe but just stay on the may ones to save yourself later. Yiu never know when the patch notes say " May crash these games ..." i got shit alloround performance with them for graphics heavy use

    Omg. I fucking hate that update. It broke my system (command prompt, etc.) while I was on call and i had to do a fresh install to fix it

    I got the creator's update in a preview release and it ransacked my 1060.

    I got it as standard rollout recently and were down to a few BSOD and random logless reboots... So, pretty normal for windows.

    It's completely fine for me.
