Trying to exit it also fails, the process will keep on running (visible in Task Manager) and has to be killed the hard way to get rid of it. It would start, the update download progress bar would run to the end and then.nothing. Since about 1-2 months I started to run into trouble with the FACEIT AC client though. It's tedious but has saved me a lot of trouble and canceled streams in the past.

Only after observing the situation a few days I shortly enable the updates, install them, then disable them again. This never hit me, because I have Windows 10 Updates disabled (using O&O ShutUp10) and after every update I manually check news and blog posts for possible issues. Also I have the additional problem that in 3 instances in the past after a Windows 10 update OBS stopped working and many had to wait for an OBS update to be able to stream again. Even if this wouldn't happen you still get unwanted reboots or nag screens telling you to reboot as an overlay, blocking everything else you're currently working on once every hour.įor me as a streamer trying to stick to a regular schedule I don't need such surprises. How it continued from there is history: With Logitech webcams breaking and Kindle devices causing bluescreens in 2016, multi-monitor gaming breaking for most people in 2017 and Windows 10 deleting personal files of its users in 2018 we're now guessing what trouble Windows Updates will cause for us in 2019. TL DR disabling Windows 10 Updates prevents FACEIT AC from working, but why?įor Windows 10 Microsoft had the great idea that they could just fire most of their QA staff and let their users do the testing instead.
