Steam crashing after upgrade from w7 to w10

FutureAura59613 · Jul 15, 2017

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, this is what support gave me a link to.

Ever since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I've had nothing but issues with steam crashing while playing games. It can happen sporadically within 5+ minutes, or immediately after start-up, with no errors appearing.

I've contacted support via chat 3 times now with no perm/temp fixes. They've reset my drivers back to 2016 versions to see if that would help, installed a full update on windows 10, constantly checked my nvidia drivers, and even walked me through reinstalling
windows 10, while I went through and reinstalled any games / steam.

Nothing as of yet has worked. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

:)

Wired Xbox one Controller is it avaliable? #PC

Is it but it will only work for windows 10. bc M$ only released drivers for w10 not w8 or w7

Solitaire Collection for W10 not tracking progress for Marathon and Gimme 5! achievements

Since it's being brought up, I figure I might as well note that I myself migrated to W10 from W7, so I never played the W8 version, in the off chance it matters any.

Steam has its own support forums and a
support page for application problems.

I suggest you look over there. You're on the Xbox forums right now.

^@Randever your concerns are pretty legit, but it seems it is a risk that MS is willing to take even with the tough uphill battle the X1 is having against a worthy powerful adversary, which makes one think that they should be on top of it to say the least,
they are too big and to experienced to make such a rookie mistake, but again nobody knows.

Maybe W10 is a well optimized version of X8 since their plan is from now on to release minor frequent releases,starting from W10 instead of major releases every couple of years.

Between W7 and W8 application ecosystem architecture, the change was major which is why the huge impact on gaming happened, which might not be the case between W8 and W10.

I remember back in the days between W95, W98 and Wxp, there wasn't a huge clash in games quality due to OS change.

I certainly would hope that W10 is well optimized and will take up less memory than the current OS freeing up some more resources for devs

Same issue here, i bought a bundle controller + dongle wifi on amazon.it 2 month ago. This was in replacement of an x360 dongle wifi and on W7.

I had the same issue and though this was due to windows 7 or my older drivers. I left the stuff aside and received this week a new laptop on w10. Tried to make it works but ... nope.

Help ?
