Windows 10 is truly attempting to test my patience with my laptop (ProBook) again ? For some reason, all Power Plans but "Balanced" were missing from my Control Panel, so I had to restore access to them via CMD. The bad part is, this issue didn't arise until the most recent 1803 Cumulative Update. Something tells me that I may need to roll back said update. In addition to that, I went back into AMD Overdrive, only to find that TurboCore had turned itself back on XD And that my most recent clock/voltage profile had been negated as a result! Thanks, Microsoft!

Dear Microsoft, 

 

        STOP CHANGING MY SETTINGS. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

I shouldn't have to do things like that...

 

On a different note, if AMD Overdrive keeps annoying me, I'll switch to simply modding P-States instead:

    And what's up with the separate slider in the battery section?

    Mine was set to "Best Performance" while my Power Plan was set to Balanced, so these two are obviously not the same. More confusion - this needs to change. ?

    Oh, the poorly tested update broke something? Just roll it back LOL -Microsoft.

    I don't even feel like turning off TurboCore at this point. I specifically turned it off so I can properly undervolt my system and get slightly better performance out of the thing (since thermals would be better). But if this is going to be a thing after every Update or Reboot, Microsoft's gonna be the one thing that keeps me out of the performance-tweaks hobby (especially on laptops) :(

    Do you have it activated? I believe even home licenses will get the option to delay updates by 30 days.

    Not sure if that's already a thing or not.

    Windows 10 Pro, activated. I may actually start delaying updates again, @Cyberspirit

    I'd say it's a good idea to do so. Sure, you can roll back but, I'd rather not update at all until I know it's mostly stable.

    @TopHatProductions115 As you have win 10 pro you can deactivate updates all together through some policy changes. I don't remember how i did it, but now windows just gives a little notification "a new update is available", but doesn't do anything itself. So when i feel like updating, i click the notification and then i click "download update", then i click "install update".

    IMO, win 10 should have that as the default setting, then people wouldn't hate it.
