Windows 10 Version 1903 is buggy.

[trev123]

I downloaded and installed Windows 10 Version 1903 yesterday and started having internet problems. I contacted my ISP and they said that they couldn't see any issues. The main problem was that I couldn't get my emails or connect to Steam plus some other sites. I could connect to Facebook and my bank's homepage. I ran a few diagnostic tests on my computer using Windows 10 inbuilt diagnostic software and got a message saying the DNS server is not responding. I tried to fix this through some recommendations through google, yes google still worked but to no avail. I have since reverted back to the previous build 1809 and everything now works again.

This has happened a few times in the last year. More than likely an update will be available for next months release. I am using build 1803 build 17134.829

I did report this to MS through the feedback option on the Windows Update page in settings on Wednesday and downloaded and installed it again Saturday and it seems to be ok with no issues. 1903 is the latest version of Windows 10. One thing that I have noticed is that videos on Youtube seem to be a lot sharper.

Windows 10 updated last night to 1903 (OS Build 18362.387) and so far have not noted any issues with any of my programs or apps. TS2020 is running without any issues in 32 and 64 bit. Hopefully, all issues have been sorted out. I did get several more updates within hours of the update.

The only problem that I am having with Windows 10 which started about 2 years ago is Window 10 not connecting to the internet. This either happens on a fresh startup or starting out of sleep mode. My actual internet connection is still connected but Window 10 isn't. To get it to connect again I have to do a restart of my computer. This only happened periodically but now it happens at least once a day. Anyway, yesterday I found a new way to make Windows 10 connect to the internet. When this happens I now go into internet options and select disable the internet connection then enable it again and then I have my internet connection back again. This is a known issue by MS and only happens on certain computers. It has something to do with the internet adaptor software.

Thank you Trev123, I have been having the same problem and it has been driving me nuts. I have changed Ethernet cables, swopped the router socket position pulled my hair out (not a lot to start with) . You have with your post returned a degree of sanity to me.

Check your power options and see if your LAN is set to sleep in hibernation or sleep.

Had that problem long ago, fixed it after troubleshooting. Try this, Press Win + X = select Device Manager, locate the Network adapter and select Properties, then Power Management and uncheck the box to “Allow this device to wake the computer” and check the box “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.” / Click on OK / Reboot and check and see if issue is gone.

Thank you gentlemen, problem sorted. Barber will still have a bit left to cut

Just out of curiosity (Windows 10) did anyone run the "Network Reset" option.
If that doesn't work You may also need to completely reset the network settings using the netsh command https://lizardsystems.com/articles/conf ... ing-netsh/
If the issue lies in the internet running the ipconfig commands may help as well as setting your internet settings manually as opposed to automatically.
These are trial and error fixes, but they worked for me.

The issue is fixed for me by going into Device Manager, Network Adapters, Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, Power Management Tab, and have all the boxes unticked.

Glad you have it sorted trev.

Anybody else having problems with the 64-bit version of TS2020 after any of their windows updates in the last few months?

I noticed just over a month ago that it crashes if I try to select what I want to do. This is on the first screen menu you encounter after the program has finished booting up. As soon as I select a menu button item, I get the spinning windows wait icon, then it hard crashes to the desktop without any TS error dump dialog popup appearing.

The 32-bit version appears to work just fine.

I also noticed my Sony Vegas and Cyberlink PowerDirector video editors crash within about 5 seconds after booting up. But I tried out a few of my games on steam and they seem to be fine for the most part. I might run through them all at some point, but things seemed okay on the few I tried.

I thought it might be that just 64-bit programs were having issues since 32-bit programs and games seemed to be fine. But I booted up my Cyberlink Audio director and Train Sim World.... both 64-bit programs.... and they both appear to run just fine.

The problem is that I don’t use my video editors that often. Only a few times a year for my YouTube channel. I also hadn’t played TS2020 since I bought and played with SS’s AC4400 in the first week of September. A couple weeks later (after a few Windows updates), I tried to boot up these programs and they now crashed. I tried to revert to an earlier automatic restore point, but windows said there was none since it had been longer than 10 days since the update.

So I have installed every new update since then, hoping it will be the one that fixes things. They have not so far. I had to break out the original hard drive the laptop came with (with its 2-year old un-updated version of Win 10 on it), did not connect it to the internet (cuz it will likely try to automatically update windows) and installed PowerDirector hoping it would work so I could edit my latest videos. It did work just fine. So I’m fairly sure an update killed things or maybe something else. I’m not sure. At least it was a temporary workaround to get my new videos edited.

I noticed a few of the updates seemed to pertain to .NET stuff. Maybe those are what did it. Who knows!

I could try a full fresh factory condition clean recovery install., but I’m avoiding it because I don’t want to have to install all my games and programs again.

Any suggestions or ideas on how I can avoid doing a fresh install and get things running again?

Have you updated the video and audio programs themselves?
