Windows 10 updates
 

I was patrolling off the west coast of Africa with about 4days from my last save and all of a sudden a Black Screen. I could still hear the game for a minute or 2, playing on. So I was thinking my video card over heated. I'm on the 2nd floor of my house and its been very hot here this summer. I usually pop the side cover and run a desk fan aimed at the CPU,GPU area of my mother board. I have never crashed. So I tried several ways to save the day, but it wasn't happening. I hit the reset button and on my restart, I got'a "Up Dates Installing" message. When finished and restarted, I checked of the time of those up dates. It was the same time I was playing. I was wondering if that was the cause of my crash. I'm personally going with a overheating issue, it was hot in my office at the time. The Windows Up Dates were a coincidence or were they ? Has anyone noticed a problems with a SHIII session running and the downloading and installation of up dates in the "background". thanx

That has happened to me in the past quite a few times with various games. I've now set updates to download, but not install until I say so. That fixed it.

Did a search on how to stop the installation of Windows10 up-dates last night. It looks as though I can temporarily stop or turn off the up-dates from installing while playing SHIII. With windows 10 Home, I don't see a way to pick and choose which up-dates I want, but that's another thread and/or another forum all together. Now back to the topic. My solution is to simply turn it off before game play then turn it back on afterwards.

Win10 has changed the way windows update works, less options now.
