It's a flaw in Windwos 10 itself.
I have not used safe mode this much in over 15 years.
really?
how much does it cost new?
I've used it more in the last three months than I had in the entire rest of my life before then.
Hmm, that's true. Windows 10 really is just a shit in of itself
Before I got this PC, I'd used safe mode maybe twice ever in my whole life.
I've used it at least 14 times on this PC/
15. Forgot I just used it just now.
Can't really buy an R9 360. It's an OEM card. Not for sale.
Skyrim was bugging out on me and was crashing on loading saves so I decided to do a clean install.
And.... as you'd expect a lot of files and folders in the Skyrim SE directory were glitched like I described.
well, that's just Skyrim. Plus Skyrim SE is just as poorly coded of a mess as the OG.
Well that only explains the crashing.
Not the files and folders being locked out.
That's Windows 10.
true
I know it was just one mod causing the problem. One out of several dozen.
But I couldn't figure out which one it was.
Your best bet is most likely just buying a Windows 7 key and going back.
OH, Windows 7. Maybe.
just to eliminate the problem entirely
But I'd need a new external drive to store everything in the meantime.
heyy
Hmm. Maybe just try and move all your important files to your storage drive and just wipe the boot drive
i havent had many problems with windows 10 but iis bs how they make some people upgrade with no chice
I got this computer for $1000 and there weren't really any that fit what I wanted that was around that price that was Windows 7 instead of 10 and going to the trouble to downgrade wasn't a priority.
Honestly Windows 10 isn't the pure disaster that Vista was. It's actually really improved in a lot of ways. The big problems is that the security seems to be buggier (pretty sure that is what's causing this), and of course the spying, as well as the forced updates.
as soon as Vulkan takes over and Linux becomes a viable gaming platform, I'm ditching Windows entirely
Ugh, don't remind me of Vista
Keeping up to date is important but forcing them on people is the worst idea in the sad, sorry history of bad ideas.
yeha
The driver disaster as a case in point.
Driver disaster?
Forced driver updates early on in Windows 10 broke just about every game.
Because bad driver updates happen all the time. Normally they're fixed before most people got them. But with forced updates everyone got them and their games broke.
This is why I'm still with Windows 7. Screw that noise.
It was so bad that they had no choice but to disable forced driver updates.
The 1050ti is a pretty decent upgrade over the 360, as far as I'm aware, yes.
