Possible performance issue with Windows Update

[tomfid]

Earlier this week, we identified an issue with a recent Windows Update that degrades performance substantially - not debilitating, but enough to make the GUI feel sluggish. We haven't yet identified the specific culprit, but be aware that this could happen.

(After a few experiences with bad updates, I only update manually, to avoid nasty surprises.)

Hi Tom,

does this concern a regular Windows update (eg. for WIndows 7 in my case) or is it related to Windows 10?

Best regards,

Guido

We found it on Windows 8.1. It went away after I rolled back updates to about June 15. The problem is, the update process queues changes that don't take effect until a reboot, which makes it very tough to determine which KB item is the culprit.

No one has seen the problem on Win7, and no one has tried Win10.

Ventity seems to work fine with Windows 10, although I haven't used it much since I upgraded windows. (Using a 4 year old laptop computer)

Win10 does seem to be an improvement all around. I haven't had any issues. The Win8 update issue seems to be resolved as well.
