• Report of significant slowdown after installing Win10 version 1803

    Posted on May 2, 2018 at 07:33 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    There’s going to be a lot of debate about system performance after installing the new version of Win10, version 1803 — there is with every new version — but one of our readers, @tweakhound, has published some solid numbers.

    And they aren’t pretty.

    I benchmarked my machine before and after the Win10 April Update. I want to stress this is a single benchmark on a single computer. The benchmark I ran was PCMark10.

    CPU: Intel i7-8700k
    Mobo: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7
    GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! Edition (Nvidia)
    Ram: 32GB
    Drives: x2 Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2
    OS: Win10 Pro

    The highest benchmark after the April update was 5315 vs. 6057 before the update. 5315 is 87.75% of 6057.. Not good.

    Do you have any reliable figures?

    UPDATE: @tweakhound reports that the problem was with the Nvidia drivers. See the linked article for details.
