10041 unusable on Boot Camp


Recommended Posts

I was running 9926 on Boot Camp with no issues. Performance was good and the experience was pretty much as smooth as Windows 8.1. I decided to to a fresh install of 10041 but it was completely terrible from the outset. The inital configuration after the install was terrible. The cursor would take about a minute to appear on each screen. Finally when booted up, even after the installation of the Boot Camp control panel and drivers, the performance was terrible and very very laggy. I was hoping performance would improve or at least remain the same as 9926.

 

Has anyone else had any experiences with Boot Camp?

Only issue I have had with Bootcamp with all the releases so far is I cannot update, install always fails. Only way to get the newer builds is a fresh install. I've installed every build since 9926 and have not had the issues you've described. I am using a late 2014 Macbook Air.

I have been using 10041 on my MacMini  and my 2014 MacBook Pro, i7 with 16GB ram with 1TB solid state, with Bootcamp without too many issues. The worst issue was the use of wireless devices like the Apple Keyboard and Trackpad, plus my Microsoft Comfort Keyboard and mouse combo. Once I did a fresh install the issues disappeared, and I'm now running 10061 perfectly. I would tell you to try the fresh install and see what happens. I have noticed that Windows 10 or 8.1 run better on my MacMini and MacBook than Yosemite did.
