Dozens of problems immediately after windows 10 installation (media creation tool) (games and program crashes)

[nastynas]

I used miscrosoft's windows media tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 to perform the download and it seems Windows 10 installs perfectly

Until I try to do anything with the new OS

Games that ran perfectly fine on windows 7 now all of a sudden crash when it hit the escape key on windows 10 (geometry dash, shadow tactics blade of the shogun) were some of the games that crashed
- i tested this repeatedly and they crash everytime, im sure more games would do the same i only tested two games so far

rise of the tomb raider ran perfectly fine on windows 7 now has weird artifacts and graphical errors on windows 10

programs are constantly crashing and not responding like steam, skype, geforce experience

when i press the window key it takes like 5 seconds for the start menu to respond and then i can only type 1 letter in the search before it feezes, sometimes i cant even type at all

I know these things may mean a driver issue but i have updated everything i could

my only solution is to downgrade back to windows 7 but I wanna know why my computer just cant handle windows 10 at all, 90% of my programs are just crashing all over the place and its incredibly unresponsive

pretty modern stuff so windows 10 shouldnt be a problem on it

my suggestion would be to clean install windows 10

a clean install is always better than in place upgrade in my opinion

I was thinking the same thing, should i use the same link i posted previously and use the tool create installation media and install it on a flashdrive? then install windows that way

yes thats how to do it

but you boot of the usb drive rather than try to run it within windows

You may need to download ASmedia USB drivers from ASUS https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-A/HelpDesk_Download/ and install them. Also if you haven't update you USB 3.1 firmware you may want to do that also.

Hello, it's good to see mcnumty23 posting again! Listen, for reasons I can't explain (I am not a coder) I have experienced some issues installing the 'ol 10 from USB on a number of units. My solution? download the latest version of windows 10 and burn it to a DVD and install. I know, does not seem like it would make any difference, but the success speaks for itself.

try a different usb port

or a different flash drive

and as said check all usb drivers/chipset drivers are up to date/installed

or as said you can use a dvd instead of a flash drive

assuming you have a dvd writer

i havent used a dvd in years but still got an external dvd/rw here just in case of emergency
