Time for some small tech talk - I know that 1803 is giving people a few troubles with some weird quirks. But I thought I’d make this post for us to share quirks of 1803 and how to fix them.
As this is a wiki, please feel free to share them!
Randomly freezing applications
Noticed that some applications (mostly discord) kept freezing my V at random, when I popped it up. After this also happened with a small coding game I was playing, I realized this might be due to the GPU-acceleration that sometimes makes Windows freeze (except the cursor) Workaround: Lock & Unlock - the simplest workaround and works 100% for me. Potential fix: Reinstalling the graphics driver seems to fix this issue. (Confirmation needed - did not encounter freezes in 30 minutes after this)
I had the problem (on my i7, Intel 1TB model) of such since I had installed it on the first hour of release 1803, and kept the update regularly doing it work, so far good. And i use it very extensively for day to day offical work.
My Eve V just crashed and can’t seem to do anything to get out of the shell command interface.
I have scheduled an appointment with the Microsoft Store on Thursday.
I had to leave my Eve V at the Microsoft store. They will restore the computer and probably revert it back to the previous version. Looks like the computer was not reading a partition on the Hard drive. Most likely it is an Intel SSD that is having issues with the 1803 update. I am hoping to have the computer back by Monday.
it is the Intel ssd of the V causing problems as stated officially by MS and eve. (check the other 1803 thread). A fix for that issue is planned for around next week… MS store wouldn’t fix it before the patch is done by MS…
btw: who is running 1803 on his i7 512GB V without problems (please add some programs you are using to your answers)
Should I try to install it (using my V daily for business as my only device)
Those files (oem52.inf and oem53.inf) are located in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Can you use the search feature (on the top right corner, just type in “oem52.inf” without quotes) and open the file to see what driver it is? You can use Notepad or any standard text editor
i7 512GB on W1803 running ok.
Sometimes, after waking up from sleep, my VPN crashes (= no Internet connection). To get Internet working again: restart computer.
