Yep. I have a slightly unusual graphics setup (one GeForce, one Quadro set up for Nvidia 3D Vision 2 stereo) and Windows 10 destroys my setup by installing the wrong graphics driver and makes me reinstall graphics drivers every update now. Huge waste of time. Infuriating.

AMD's Crimson driver constantly crashes for me. I rolled back to Catalyst and had no problems until Windows updated it back to Crimson. The problem is on AMD's side but still. I don't care about having the latest drivers but I care about stability.
> Last week I was playing Shadow of Mordor when all of a sudden the game crashed with an error along the lines of "Graphics device was removed or disconnected". The reason for it was Windows 10 had decided to update while I was gaming and a new GPU driver was installed as part of the update.
LMAO
No seriously. This could be straight out of a comedy piece.

Suffice it to say I finally cracked and looked up how to set up the group policy settings to ask me before updating. Luckily I'm using Windows 10 Pro and have this option.
I know a lot people used to give Windows Update a lot of flak in the pre-Windows 10 days, but I never really thought it was a problem (I always had it set to ask when to install updates) but Windows 10's update settings are downright user hostile.
