Reinstall took a mere 20-25 mins. The 1903 upgrade defintely breaks my win10 install. The flicker returns as something in win10 hijacks nVidia optimus in my laptop causing unstable recurrent flicker sometimes even building up to bsod's. Uninstalled 1903 and everything runs fine again. Microsoft has definitely lost the plot on windows updates and stability. Unacceptable. Fuck it, if MS keeps throwing shit updates at me like this I might give Linux and Ubuntu another go. Or even SteamOS....LivDiv wrote:Godspeed Hunk

If i need to use wifi primarily for internet connection is it best to go with a proper card or will just a usb adapter be ok?
Only other solution is the tp link plug ins at the moment due to locatkn of the router.
Also are there any other bit n bobs i would need, cables etc, to get this up n running on boxing day with a hangover.
